Product Details

Overview & Technology

Wheels Manufacturing Dropout 60 is a direct-fit derailleur hanger replacement engineered to match the factory geometry used by Bianchi, BH and select Jamis, Kona and Raleigh models. Manufactured from CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a corrosion-resistant anodize, this hanger delivers the strength and lightweight performance you expect from a quality spare part. Precision matters: the Dropout 60 is produced to tight tolerances so the derailleur mounting surface and hanger alignment mirror the original part. That accuracy reduces shifting issues after installation and protects your frame from damage in the event of a crash or drivetrain impact.

Key Features

The Dropout 60 combines a robust material set with practical design elements that make it an ideal replacement hanger: • 6061-T6 CNC-machined aluminum — excellent strength-to-weight and consistent tolerances. • Black anodized finish — corrosion resistance and a clean, factory look. • Exact-fit geometry — matches factory mounting points and derailleur hanger angle. • Lightweight — shipping weight ~0.05 lb, keeps bike weight negligible. These features ensure you regain accurate derailleur positioning quickly, restoring crisp shifting and protecting the frame's dropout area from damage caused by a bent or missing hanger.

Fit & Compatibility

The Dropout 60 is listed for #60 fitment and is commonly compatible with Bianchi and BH models as well as certain Jamis, Kona, KHS, Diamondback and Raleigh frames. Wheels Manufacturing provides this part as a direct replacement that uses the same mounting holes and spacing as the original factory hanger. How to confirm fit: compare your existing hanger number (stamped on the part) or check hole spacing and bolt pattern against the Dropout 60. When in doubt, bring the old hanger to your local shop or check frame manufacturer fitment guides — correct fitment prevents shifting issues and keeps the derailleur at the intended chainline.

Who It's For

This hanger is for road riders, mechanics and shops who need a reliable replacement for common Bianchi/BH-compatible frames. It's perfect as a maintenance spare for riders who travel, commute, or compete — a lightweight, strong part you can carry or keep in the tool drawer. If you own a compatible model or work on multiple frames from the brands listed, the Dropout 60 is a practical, cost-effective way to avoid being stranded with damaged shifting after a crash or impact.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I know if the Dropout 60 fits my bike?

Check the number stamped on your existing hanger or compare the bolt-hole spacing and mounting shape to the Dropout 60. The part is specified for #60 fitment and commonly fits Bianchi, BH, Jamis, Kona, KHS, Diamondback and Raleigh frames. If unsure, remove your old hanger and match it visually or consult your frame manufacturer or local shop.

What material is the dropout made from?

The Dropout 60 is CNC-machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and finished with a corrosion-resistant anodize. This combination gives a high strength-to-weight ratio and consistent machining tolerances for accurate derailleur alignment.

Can I install this hanger myself?

Yes — installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable with basic bike maintenance. Remove the damaged hanger, clean the mounting area, bolt the Dropout 60 into place using the original fastener(s), then check derailleur alignment and shifting. If you're not confident, a shop can install and tune it quickly.

Will replacing the hanger fix my shifting problems?

If shifting issues are caused by a bent or damaged hanger, replacing it with an exact-fit Dropout 60 will often restore correct indexing. However, persistent problems can also come from cable stretch, worn cables/housing, or a misadjusted derailleur — inspect and service the whole drivetrain if shifting doesn't return to normal.

Should I carry a spare hanger on rides?

Yes. Carrying a spare hanger like the Dropout 60 is a small, lightweight insurance policy for road rides and bikepacking. With a spare and basic tools you can replace a broken hanger roadside and get back to rolling, avoiding a costly tow or ride home.

Is the Dropout 60 compatible with modern 11/12-speed derailleurs?

Hangers are primarily about geometry and mounting, not gear count. The Dropout 60 restores the correct mounting position for modern 11- and 12-speed derailleurs as long as it matches your frame's original hanger specifications. Ensure derailleur hanger alignment before using high-cassette setups for best performance.

Buying Guide

When choosing a replacement derailleur hanger, prioritize exact-fit geometry and material quality. Look for hangers made from 6061-T6 aluminum with precise CNC machining to match factory alignment; a poor fit can lead to persistent shifting problems even after replacement. Always confirm compatibility by matching the hanger number or comparing hole patterns. If you ride frequently or travel with your bike, buy a spare and a small hardware kit — they’re inexpensive and can save a ride.
