Review on Wheels Manufacturing Dropout 65 Derailleur Hanger by Michael Cooper

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Fits and works great for me

Worked great for me. Replaced a broken bracket. Just wanted to point out that some reviews mention that OEMs are just cheap castings. First, they can be faked. Sometimes it's hard to tell just by looking at it. It could be extrusion. The stress fracture grain structure can sometimes look like the grain structure of a casting. All they state is CNC machining, which you can do with all three. I wouldn't worry too much about that. Second, an OEM part may have a specially designed weak point. Engineers do this so the failure mode can be controlled. Just like a ski boot breaks a leg instead of an ankle, the damage is redirected to a different spot that's easier to repair. Whatever they are, this product fits great, gets the job done, and gets me back on the trails. So I'm a happy customer. I'll be a less satisfied customer next time it's beyond the scope. But the broken one I took off had "Wheels Mfg" engraved on it, so I'm not worried about that.

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Not bad
