Direct Derailleur mounts

Direct Mount Derailleur Hangers

Framesandgear® direct mount derailleur hangers offer cyclists a stronger drivetrain connection, smoother shifting, and simpler rear wheel removal. Whether you ride road or gravel, these upgraded hangers eliminate excess hardware and deliver a stiffer, more precise connection between your frame and derailleur. With hundreds of fit-specific options, they represent the future of drivetrain integration.

Compatible Bike Brands

We offer direct mount derailleur hangers designed for a large number of premium bike brands. We provide model-specific solutions for frames built to accept
Shimano Direct Mount or SRAM UDH (Universal Derailleur Hanger) standards, including:

• Canyon: Aeroad, Ultimate, Endurance
• Trek: Madone, Domane, Emonda
• Specialized: Tarmac, Roubaix, Diverge
• Scott: Addict, Foil, Gravel models
• Pinarello: F-Series, Dogma
• Colnago: V-Series, C-Series

Every hanger is CNC-machined to meet precise fit requirements, so you can be confident it
will integrate seamlessly with your frame’s dropout design.

Are you upgrading a high-performance race frame or a rugged MTB? Our direct mount derailleur hangers are tailored to maintain alignment, enhance drivetrain
stiffness, and make sure you never need a workaround or third-party adapter.

Optimized for Every Drivetrain and Every Setup

We stock hangers that support both traditional and modern drivetrain formats. From Shimano’s Shadow series to SRAM’s latest UDH-compatible systems, each mount is crafted from lightweight 7075 aluminum, offering exceptional strength without heavy weight. The direct fit reduces play between components and allows your derailleur to hold position even under high torque or shifting stress.

Compatible with All Leading Derailleurs

Our direct mount hangers are built for seamlessintegration with top-tier derailleur systems:

• Shimano Dura-Ace, Ultegra, 105, GRX, Deore, XT, or XTR
• SRAM GX, XX1, Force, or compatible UDH designs
  
• Select Campagnolo or hybrid drivetrains

So, whether you ride Shimano, SRAM, or other top brands, you’ll find a hanger engineered for a clean, stable fit. Many Shimano derailleurs can be used with or without
the B-link, allowing for backwards compatibility. If your derailleur supports direct mount, we make sure the fit does too.

Perfect for Road and Gravel

From high-speed tarmac to alpine descents, these direct mount hangers are purpose-built for the rigors of both disciplines. Gravel riders can enjoy the
benefits of increased chainstay clearance. Road cyclists enjoy more accurate shifting under pressure. And for bikes with thru-axles or disc brakes, these
hangers simplify wheel swaps and reduce dropout stress.

A Color for Every Bike

We also issue a wide variety of color choices for the direct mount derailleur hangers, allowing riders to personalize their bikes with both subtle and bold finishes.
The hangers are CNC-machined from high-grade aluminum and finished with durable anodized coatings. This way, you get to prioritize both style and longevity
while turning your setup into a visually pleasing one.

How to Install a Direct Mount Hanger

Follow our step-by-step guide to install your direct mount derailleur hanger smoothly and
quickly – and to get out on the road as fast as possible.

1. Preparation

• Remove the Rear Wheel: Shift the chain to the smallest cog and remove the rear wheel for easier access.
• Remove the Old Hanger (if replacing): If a hanger is already installed, use the hex wrench to remove it from the dropout.

2. Identify and Clean

• Check Compatibility: Ensure you have the correct direct mount hanger for your frame and derailleur.
• Clean the Mounting Area: Wipe the dropout and threads to remove dirt and debris for a secure fit.

3. Install the Direct Mount Hanger

• Align the Hanger: Position the hanger flush against the dropout, ensuring all holes line up and there are no gaps.
• Thread the Bolt: Insert the mounting bolt(s) and hand-tighten to hold the hanger in place.
• Torque to Spec: Using a 5 mm hex wrench, tighten the bolt(s) to the recommended torque (usually 8–10 Nm).

4. Check Alignment

• Use a Hanger Alignment Tool: Confirm the hanger is perfectly straight. Misalignment can cause shifting issues.

5. Prepare the Rear Derailleur

• Remove the B-Link (if present): For Shimano and some other derailleurs, remove the B-link or bracket axle plate using a 5 mm hex wrench. This allows the derailleur to bolt directly to the hanger.
• Grease the Threads: Apply
  a small amount of grease to the derailleur mounting bolt.

6. Attach the Rear Derailleur

• Mount Directly: Bolt the derailleur directly to the hanger using the bracket axle (no B-link).
  Tighten to 8–10 Nm
• Check Stopper Plate: Ensure the stopper plate on the derailleur contacts the B-tension stop on the hanger, with no gap.

7. Reinstall the Rear Wheel

• Place the wheel back into the dropouts, ensuring proper alignment.

8. Adjust and Test

• Adjust Limit Screws: Set the high and low limit screws so the derailleur moves correctly across the cassette.
• Set B-Tension: Adjust the B-tension screw for proper clearance between the derailleur and cassette.
• Fine-Tune Shifting: Index the gears and check for smooth shifting.

9. Final Checks

• Inspect for Gaps or Misalignment: Double-check all bolts and alignment.
• Test Ride: Shift through all gears to ensure everything works smoothly.
