Product Details

Precision CNC replacement hanger for Scott frames

DROPOUT-372 from Wheels Manufacturing is a direct-replacement derailleur hanger machined from 6061 aluminum and finished in hard black anodize. The one-piece CNC construction preserves the exact geometry needed for clean shifting while keeping weight to a minimum (0.06 lb). The hanger is engineered for frames using an M12x1.0 thru axle and accepts standard-mount rear derailleurs. It replaces Scott part #254092-222 and is made to restore alignment and protect the frame in a crash or after a bent/failed original hanger.

Key features and real-world benefits

Materials and finish: CNC-machined 6061 aluminum offers a high strength-to-weight ratio and consistent, repeatable tolerances. The black anodized finish adds corrosion resistance and a clean, low-profile look on the frame. Design details: Attaches with a single special M5 flat-head screw (fastener not included) and interfaces with M12x1.0 thru-axle forks/frames. The precise pocket and bolt locations keep the derailleur in the correct plane for accurate indexing and reduced chain drop risk. • 6061 aluminum for stiffness and low weight • Black anodize for corrosion resistance and durability • Replaces Scott part #254092-222 for a guaranteed fit on compatible frames

Fit, compatibility and installation notes

This hanger is specifically profiled for Scott frames that use an M12x1.0 thru axle and a single M5 attachment screw. It is intended for standard-mount rear derailleurs (most Shimano and SRAM standard-hanger mechs). Before ordering, confirm your bike uses a threaded M12x1.0 thru axle and cross-check the original Scott part number. Fastener not included — the hanger uses a special M5 flat head screw. If you don’t have the original fastener, use the correct M5 flat-head replacement intended for your frame or source the matching screw from Wheels Manufacturing. For installation, hand-start the screw, snug to secure the hanger, then final-tighten to your frame manufacturer's torque specification. Always check alignment with a derailleur hanger alignment tool after installation.

Who this hanger is for

Trail and mountain riders who own Scott frames with M12x1.0 thru axles will find the DROPOUT-372 essential as a repair or spare part. If you ride aggressively, carry this as a lightweight spare to avoid a ruined ride day from a broken hanger. Mechanics and home wrenchers who value precise shifting and a true replacement for Scott's part #254092-222 will appreciate the CNC tolerances. It's a straight swap that restores derailleur geometry and protects the frame from direct derailleur impacts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the mounting screw included with the hanger?

No. The DROPOUT-372 requires a special M5 flat-head screw to attach to the frame. The fastener is not included, so either reuse your original screw or purchase the correct M5 flat-head screw from Wheels Manufacturing or your frame manufacturer.

Will this hanger work with my derailleur (Shimano/SRAM)?

Yes—this hanger is designed for standard-mount rear derailleurs, which covers most Shimano and SRAM models. If your derailleur uses a direct-mount interface or an atypical hanger geometry, double-check compatibility before ordering.

How do I know if this replaces my Scott hanger?

DROPOUT-372 is a direct replacement for Scott part #254092-222. Confirm compatibility by checking your frame's parts list or comparing the old hanger to the replacement. The listing also requires an M12x1.0 thru axle frame.

Can I straighten a bent hanger instead of replacing it?

Minor bends can sometimes be corrected with a derailleur hanger alignment tool, but once a hanger is cracked or too deformed it's safer to replace it. A new CNC hanger restores the original geometry and is inexpensive insurance against repeat shifting problems.

Do I need any special tools to install this hanger?

Installation needs only the correct M5 screw driver/hex driver and a torque wrench to the frame manufacturer's spec. After installation, check and fine-tune derailleur alignment with a hanger alignment tool and run the drivetrain through the gears to verify indexing.

Is this hanger suitable for e-MTB or heavy loads?

The hanger is made from 6061 aluminum and built to the same dimensions as the original Scott part. While robust for typical mountain and e-MTB use, hangers are sacrificial parts meant to protect the frame; for extreme loads or repeated impacts, inspect often and replace when necessary.

Buying Guide

When selecting a replacement derailleur hanger, match the part number and axle spec first. DROPOUT-372 fits Scott frames that use an M12x1.0 thru axle and replaces Scott part #254092-222. Confirm your derailleur uses the standard-mount interface before ordering. Choose a CNC-machined aluminum hanger if you want precise geometry and lightweight durability; ensure you have or source the proper M5 flat-head screw for secure attachment. Carry a spare on long rides and use a hanger alignment tool after installation to restore crisp, reliable shifting.
