Product Details

Overview & Technology

DROPOUT-366 from Wheels Manufacturing is a precision replacement derailleur hanger designed specifically for Scott frames that use a standard-mount rear derailleur. Engineered as a sacrificial, replaceable link between your frame and derailleur, this hanger is intended to protect the frame's dropout in a crash or impact and restore factory shift geometry after replacement. Material and construction: the hanger is CNC-machined from high-grade aluminum alloy (commonly 6061-T6) and finished with a corrosion-resistant anodized coating for long life and dependable fit. The precise machining and controlled dimensions ensure consistent derailleur alignment and repeatable shifting performance when installed correctly.

Key Features & Benefits

Purpose-built fit: DROPOUT-366 is shaped to match the original Scott standard-mount dropout profile so it slides into place and indexes the derailleur as designed by the frame maker. Replacing a bent hanger returns chainline and shifting accuracy without expensive frame repair. Durability and serviceability: CNC machining and an anodized finish resist corrosion and wear while keeping the part lightweight (approx. 0.046 lb). As a sacrificial part, it prevents damage to the frame and is quick to swap at home or in the shop.

Fit, Compatibility & Installation

Compatibility: This hanger is specified for Scott frames that use a standard mount for the rear derailleur. The Wheels Manufacturing part number DROPOUT-366 (SKU 270867) matches the OEM profile—confirm fit by matching the hanger silhouette or checking Wheels Manufacturing's online hanger fitment tool against your Scott model and year. Installation notes: Install with the correct M-bolt or mounting hardware and torque to manufacturer specs. Verify derailleur alignment with a hanger alignment gauge after installation. If you’re unsure which hanger your frame requires, compare the old hanger’s shape or contact Forest Bikes with photos of your dropout for fit confirmation.

Who This Hanger Is For

This part is ideal for road cyclists who own a Scott frame that uses a standard-mount rear derailleur and need a reliable, exact-fit replacement after a bend or impact. Mechanics and home wrenchers looking for an affordable, OEM-profile spare will appreciate the precision machining and easy install. Keep a spare on hand if you travel for group rides or races—having a direct-fit hanger like the DROPOUT-366 in your toolkit can turn a potential day-ending issue into a quick roadside repair.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know this hanger fits my Scott frame?

Compare the shape of your existing hanger to the DROPOUT-366 silhouette or use Wheels Manufacturing's online hanger lookup with your Scott model and year. If in doubt, send photos of your rear dropout to Forest Bikes and we’ll confirm fit.

What material is the DROPOUT-366 made from?

The hanger is precision CNC-machined from a high-strength aluminum alloy (commonly 6061-T6) and finished with a corrosion-resistant anodize. That construction balances durability, weight, and predictable deformation to protect the frame.

Can I install this myself, or do I need a mechanic?

A competent home mechanic can swap the hanger using common tools, but you should torque fasteners to spec and check derailleur alignment with a hanger alignment gauge. If you don’t have the gauge or aren’t confident, a bike shop can install and align it quickly.

Does the hanger include mounting bolts or hardware?

Check the product package contents at checkout; many Wheels Manufacturing hangers ship as the hanger only. If hardware is not included, use the original hardware or order compatible M-bolts and stainless hardware separately.

Will replacing the hanger fix shifting issues?

If shifting problems are caused by a bent hanger, replacing it will typically restore proper indexing and chain line. If issues persist, check derailleur limit screws, cable routing, and drivetrain wear.

What are the package dimensions and shipping weight?

Shipping dimensions are approximately 3.1" x 4.5" x 0.4" and the weight is about 0.046 lb, making it a compact, lightweight spare to carry on trips.

Buying Guide

When buying a replacement derailleur hanger, confirm exact fit by model and year rather than assuming all hangers are interchangeable. Use manufacturer part numbers (this is DROPOUT-366, Wheels Manufacturing SKU 270867) and visual comparison. Consider buying matching stainless mounting hardware and a hanger alignment gauge for installation and maintenance. Choose CNC-machined aluminum hangers for consistent alignment and proven sacrificial behavior. If you travel or race frequently, keep a spare hanger in your kit to avoid a broken ride turning into a long walk home.
