Product Details

Overview & Technology

DROPOUT-392 is a purpose-built replacement derailleur hanger from Wheels Manufacturing engineered as a direct swap for Scott frames using part #264483. Machined from 6061 aluminium on precision CNC equipment, the hanger delivers tight tolerances and repeatable alignment to keep modern drivetrains shifting cleanly after a crash or during routine maintenance. The part features a hard black anodized finish to resist corrosion and abrasion while keeping weight to a minimum (0.04 lb). It is designed around an M12x1.5 thru-axle interface and accommodates Shimano Direct Mount rear derailleurs for modern 1x and 2x setups.

Key Features & Construction

Materials and machining: DROPOUT-392 is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for an ideal balance of strength, ductility and light weight. Precision machining controls the derailleur hanger geometry so the derailleur sits in the exact intended position relative to the cassette. • 6061 aluminum body for reliable impact resistance and fatigue life. • Black anodized finish for corrosion protection and low-profile aesthetics. • Designed for M12x1.5 thru-axle frames and Shimano Direct Mount rear derailleurs. • Attaches with a single special M5 cap head screw (fastener not included).

Fit, Installation & Compatibility

DROPOUT-392 is a direct replacement for Scott Part #264483 and fits frames designed around an M12x1.5 thru-axle and Shimano Direct Mount rear derailleur interface. Before purchase, verify your frame's hanger shape, axle thread pitch (M12x1.5) and that your derailleur uses a Shimano-style direct-mount interface. Installation is straightforward: align the hanger, insert the M5 cap head screw and torque to the manufacturer's specification. Wheels Manufacturing parts are machined to tight tolerances, but always use the correct length and grade of screw and follow your frame maker's torque specs (typical M5 fastener torque ranges are 4–8 Nm depending on screw length and frame material) — consult the frame manual or a pro mechanic if unsure. Shipping dimensions are compact (2.75" x 1.25" x 0.5") and the unit is ultra-light (0.04 lb), making it an easy spare to carry on rides or keep in your toolbox.

Who This Hanger Is For

This hanger is ideal for mountain bikers, shops and mechanics who need a reliable, precision replacement for Scott frames that used Part #264483.

Also suited to trail riders running modern drivetrains with Shimano Direct Mount derailleurs and M12 thru-axles who demand OEM-fit performance from a high-quality aftermarket part.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is DROPOUT-392 compatible with my Scott frame?

If your frame lists Scott Part #264483 as the derailleur hanger or uses an M12x1.5 thru-axle with a Shimano Direct Mount interface, DROPOUT-392 is a direct replacement. Verify the part number or compare the hanger shape to your current part before purchasing.

Does this hanger include the mounting screw?

No — the fastener is not included. DROPOUT-392 attaches with one special M5 cap head screw. Use the correct length and grade specified by your frame manufacturer or a stainless M5 cap head screw with appropriate torque.

Can I use this hanger with SRAM direct-mount derailleurs?

DROPOUT-392 is designed for Shimano-style direct mount interfaces. Some SRAM derailleurs may require different mounting geometry or adapters. Check derailleur mount compatibility or consult a mechanic if you plan to use a non-Shimano unit.

What torque should I use when installing the hanger?

Torque depends on frame material and screw length. A typical range for M5 fasteners is roughly 4–8 Nm, but you should follow your frame manufacturer's published torque spec. If unsure, have a bike shop fit it to avoid overtightening or thread damage.

Can I carry this as a spare on rides?

Yes — at 0.04 lb and compact dimensions, DROPOUT-392 is small enough for a saddle bag or pack. Carry the correct M5 screw and a short multi-tool so you can replace a bent or broken hanger on the trail.

What warranty or quality assurance does Wheels Manufacturing provide?

Wheels Manufacturing is known for precision aftermarket components and stands behind their craftsmanship. For specific warranty terms, contact Wheels Manufacturing or Forest Bikes customer service; we can assist with returns and compatibility questions.

Buying Guide

Choosing the right derailleur hanger means matching the exact hanger shape, axle interface and derailleur mounting style. Look for OEM part numbers (Scott #264483 for this unit), confirm your thru-axle thread pitch (M12x1.5), and ensure the hanger supports a Shimano Direct Mount derailleur if that's what you run. When buying a replacement, prefer CNC-machined aluminum hangers for consistent geometry and durability. Always pair the new hanger with the correct mounting fastener and torque settings, and consider carrying a spare on long rides — a broken hanger is a common, fixable issue that can otherwise end a ride early.
