Standards and mounting

The D826 hanger is designed for inner mounting on 12 mm thru-axle frames. It securely fastens using an M5 bolt supplied with the hanger. Compatible with all rear derailleurs on the market (Shimano, SRAM, Campagnolo), it allows optimal drivetrain adjustment.

Why choose a CNC machined hanger?

• Geometric precision: CNC machining guarantees perfect repeatability and optimal derailleur alignment, for smooth and precise gear changes.
• Increased mechanical strength: The 6061 T651 alloy and solid machining offer structural strength far superior to molded hangers, while maintaining a fuse characteristic in case of violent impact to protect the frame.
• Enhanced aesthetics: High-quality black anodized finish, more elegant and more durable than original molded hangers.

Installation and maintenance

Installation of the D826 hanger is simple and quick: remove the thru-axle, remove the old damaged hanger, position the new D826 hanger respecting the orientation (check for a relief around the axle hole on the inside face), then tighten the supplied M5 bolt to the recommended torque. It is advisable to regularly check the alignment of the hanger with a dedicated tool, and to replace it in case of deformation following an impact or fall.
