Product Details

Dropout 116 Overview & Technology

Dropout 116 from Wheels Manufacturing is a direct-replacement derailleur hanger made to the exacting tolerances modern drivetrains demand. CNC-machined from heat-treated 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a corrosion-resistant surface treatment, this hanger restores derailleur alignment and shifting performance after damage or wear. The precision machining and dimensional consistency reduce lateral play and shifting error, so your cassette and derailleur operate as the frame manufacturer intended. Lightweight and durable, this hanger is an OEM-style part specifically indexed to Scott frames that use the #116 hanger profile.

Key Features & Benefits

Accurate fit for crisp shifting: The Dropout 116 is manufactured to match the original Scott #116 geometry, which keeps the derailleur in the correct position relative to the wheel and cassette. That accuracy means fewer adjustments and consistent gear changes under load. Durable, serviceable construction: CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum provides the stiffness needed for stable shifting while remaining sacrificial compared to frame material. The anodized finish resists corrosion in wet conditions and everyday road grime. Sold as an individual hanger—verify your bike's mounting hardware; bolts are typically reused or available separately.

Fit, Installation & Compatibility

The Dropout 116 is designed to replace hangers stamped or catalogued as Scott #116. To confirm fit, compare the silhouette of your old hanger to product photos or check the stamping on the existing hanger. If your frame originally used a removable hanger with a single mounting bolt, this part will usually install in the same position without frame modification. Important: this hanger matches a specific Scott dropout interface and does not change axle standards. If you ride a thru-axle or bolt-on axle, the hub/axle remains the same — the hanger simply mounts to the frame. After installation we recommend checking derailleur alignment with a hanger alignment gauge and performing a quick tune to ensure optimal shifting.

Who This Hanger Is For

This part is for road cyclists who own a Scott frame that uses the #116 hanger profile and need a reliable, OEM-fit replacement after a crash, crash avoidance, or wear. It's also for home mechanics and bike shops who prefer precise, CNC-made replacement parts to restore factory shifting geometry. If you frequently ride in traffic, train with group pace lines, or tour with heavy loads where a misaligned or damaged hanger can ruin your ride, keeping a Dropout 116 as a spare will save time and get you back on the road quickly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if Dropout 116 fits my Scott frame?

Check the stamping on your existing hanger — many Scott hangers are numbered. Compare the shape of your old hanger to images of the Dropout 116 or consult your frame's parts list. If your hanger is listed as #116 or matches the silhouette, this is the correct replacement.

Is mounting hardware included with this hanger?

Dropout 116 is sold as an individual hanger. Many bikes use the original mounting bolt and it can be reused, but hardware availability varies by frame. If your bolt is damaged or missing, buy replacement bolts separately or contact Forest Bikes for compatible hardware.

Can I bend a damaged hanger back instead of replacing it?

While minor bends can sometimes be straightened, realigning a bent hanger is often temporary and can leave metal fatigued. For reliable shifting and safety, replacing the hanger with a new Dropout 116 is the recommended solution.

Do I need a hanger alignment gauge after installation?

Yes — after installing a new hanger you should check alignment with a hanger alignment tool. Even a correctly fitted replacement can be slightly out of plane; small adjustments ensure the derailleur indexes precisely and prevent premature wear.

Will this hanger change my axle type or derailleur compatibility?

No — the Dropout 116 matches the frame's intended dropout interface and does not alter axle standards. It also keeps the derailleur mounting position consistent with the original, so drivetrain compatibility remains unchanged.

What material is the hanger made from and how long will it last?

This hanger is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with a corrosion-resistant finish. Properly installed and undamaged, it will provide long service life. It is designed to be the sacrificial part in a crash to protect the frame and derailleur.

Buying Guide

Replacing a damaged derailleur hanger restores shifting precision and prevents drivetrain damage. When buying a hanger, prioritize an exact match to your frame's hanger number and profile — generic or mis-sized hangers can cause poor shifting and chain drops. Look for CNC-machined parts from reputable makers like Wheels Manufacturing for consistent tolerances and long-term reliability. Also confirm whether mounting hardware is included and plan to check hanger straightness with an alignment gauge after installation. If you're unsure about fit, take a photo of your current hanger or bring it to a local shop or Forest Bikes' customer support for verification before ordering.
