PILO
PILO DERAILLEUR HANGER FOR CANYON, FOCUS, KSM, MARIN, MERIDA | GH-D78
The Pilo D78 is a precision-engineered derailleur hanger, specifically developed as a robust replacement for a massive range of bike manufacturers. Recognized by various OEM codes (such as Canyon No. 8 and Marin #16), it is one of the most widely compatible hangers in the Pilo catalog, known for its distinct three-hole profile (2 for fasteners, 1 for the derailleur).
Features
-
CNC Precision Machining: Unlike stock "cast" hangers that can be brittle or slightly misaligned, the D78 is CNC machined from a solid block of aluminum. This ensures perfect alignment and significantly crisper shifting.
-
High-Grade Material: Manufactured from 6061 T6511 ASTM B221 billet aluminum, providing the ideal balance of strength to protect the derailleur and flexibility to act as a "sacrificial" part to save the frame during an impact.
-
Superior Durability: Features a hard black anodized finish for extreme resistance to oxidation and wear in muddy or wet conditions.
-
Installation Ready: Each hanger includes the necessary M4x8 flat head mounting bolts.
