Before beginning installation, ensure your bicycle is stable, preferably in a repair stand. You will need appropriate tools, typically an Allen key or wrench, to remove and install the hanger and any associated bolts.

1. **Remove Rear Wheel:** Carefully remove the rear wheel from your bicycle.
2. **Remove Derailleur:** Detach the rear derailleur from the existing hanger.
3. **Remove Old Hanger:** Unscrew and remove the old derailleur hanger from the bicycle frame. Note the orientation and any specific washers or nuts.
4. **Inspect Frame:** Clean the area where the hanger attaches to the frame and inspect for any damage.
5. **Install New Hanger:** Position the new Cycle Gear derailleur hanger onto the frame, ensuring it aligns correctly with the mounting points.

4. Instruccions de funcionament

The derailleur hanger is a passive component designed to provide a sacrificial break point between the rear derailleur and the bicycle frame. It does not require active operation. Its primary function is to bend or break in the event of an impact, protecting the more expensive frame and derailleur from damage. Ensure your derailleur is properly adjusted for optimal shifting performance.

5. Manteniment

• **Regular Inspection:** Periodically inspect the derailleur hanger for any signs of bending, cracks, or damage. A bent hanger can lead to poor shifting performance and potential damage to the derailleur or spokes.
• **Cleaning:** Keep the hanger and surrounding area clean from dirt and debris.
• **Replacement:** If the hanger is bent or damaged, it must be replaced immediately to prevent further issues. Do not attempt to straighten a bent aluminum hanger, as this can weaken the material and lead to sudden failure.
• **Bolt Torque:** Ensure the hanger mounting bolts or lock nut are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications for your bicycle frame.
