Product Details

Overview & Technology

Wheels Manufacturing Dropout 110 is a direct-replacement derailleur hanger engineered for Cannondale frames. CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a hard anodize, this hanger offers precise geometry and corrosion resistance while keeping weight to a minimum (approx. 0.03 lb). The dropout is manufactured to tight tolerances so your rear derailleur mounts in the exact factory location — keeping shifting crisp and protecting the frame in a crash by acting as a sacrificial, replaceable part. Shipping dimensions are compact (3" x 3" x 0.3"), making it an easy spare to carry or swap at the shop.

Key Features & Benefits

Materials & construction: CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum body with a hard-anodized surface treatment for wear and corrosion resistance. The precise machining preserves derailleur hanger alignment and keeps the B-screw and pulley alignment consistent with factory spec. Real-world benefits: Light, strong and repeatable — Dropout 110 reduces the risk of bent hangers after impacts, restores shifting performance quickly, and is inexpensive to replace compared with frame repair. Its exact-fit profile eliminates the trial-and-error of generic hangers.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

This part is listed as #110 / Cannondale and is intended as a direct replacement for Cannondale frames that require the Dropout 110 geometry. Before purchasing, confirm your frame’s hanger number or compare the mounting shape against your original hanger. The compact profile matches factory mounting points and derailleur clearances. Installation is a simple bolt-on swap — remove the damaged hanger, clean the mating surface, and fit the replacement. Use an alignment tool if possible to verify hanger straightness after installation. If your bike requires a specific mounting bolt or insert, keep the original hardware or use a stainless replacement sized to your frame’s specification.

Who This Hanger Is For

This dropout is ideal for road cyclists and mechanics who own or service Cannondale frames requiring hanger #110. It's perfect as a low-cost spare for riders who travel, commute, or race and need a quick field-repair option to get back on the road. Frame builders, shop technicians, and home mechanics will appreciate the repeatability and precision of a Wheels Manufacturing hanger — it restores factory alignment and prevents ongoing drivetrain headaches caused by bent or worn hangers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if Dropout 110 fits my Cannondale frame?

Check your frame’s derailleur hanger number (often stamped or listed in the owner's manual) or compare the shape and mounting hole pattern to the old hanger. If your frame specifies hanger #110 or matches the Dropout 110 profile, this is the correct replacement. When in doubt, contact Forest Bikes with your frame model and year for verification.

Is this hanger sold with mounting hardware?

Hardware inclusion can vary by listing. The hanger itself is CNC-machined aluminum; many customers reuse the original frame bolt or replace it with a stainless steel bolt. Inspect the product page for current hardware details or keep your factory bolt if it's undamaged.

Can I straighten a bent hanger instead of replacing it?

Minor bends can sometimes be corrected with a derailleur hanger alignment tool, but repeated bending weakens the metal and alignment may not be perfect. For reliable, long-term shifting performance we recommend replacing a bent hanger with a new Dropout 110.

Will a new hanger fix persistent shifting issues?

If shifting problems are caused by a misaligned or bent hanger, replacing it with a correctly machined Dropout 110 will usually restore shifting precision. However, also check derailleur adjustment, cable stretch/housing condition, and chain/wear items to ensure all drivetrain components are sound.

What tools do I need to install this hanger?

Typical installation requires basic hand tools — the correct-size hex or Torx driver for your hanger bolt, a torque wrench to tighten to the frame specification, and a hanger alignment tool to confirm straightness. Clean the mounting interface before installing to ensure a true fit.

Is the material corrosion-resistant for wet conditions?

Yes. The 6061-T6 aluminum body with a hard-anodized finish resists corrosion and wear in varied weather conditions. Nevertheless, avoid leaving salt or grit on the mating surfaces and periodically inspect the hanger for damage after winter or wet rides.

Buying Guide

When buying a derailleur hanger, accuracy is more important than price. Identify your frame’s hanger number or match the physical mounting pattern and orientation to ensure compatibility. Prefer CNC-machined replacements from reputable manufacturers for consistent geometry. Carry a spare hanger on long rides or bikepacking trips — they’re small, light, and inexpensive insurance against a crash that would otherwise end your ride. For installation, keep the original hardware if undamaged and use a hanger alignment tool to guarantee perfect shifting after replacement.
