A rear hanger, also known as a derailleur hanger, is a small but vital bike component that connects the rear derailleur to the frame. It plays a key role in ensuring precise shifting and protecting the frame in case of impact.
Usually made from aluminum or carbon-reinforced materials, the rear hanger is designed to bend or break under stress—sacrificing itself to prevent damage to the bike frame or derailleur during crashes or falls.
A properly aligned derailleur hanger is essential for smooth, accurate gear changes. Many bike brands offer replaceable hangers to make repairs easy and extend frame life.
For riders who tackle rough trails or high-speed descents, keeping a spare rear hanger on hand is a smart move.
