FAQ

How do I know if I need the RD-H4 or RD-H6?

The RD-H4 is a disc brake frame kit for standard Factor rear derailleur mounts. The RD-H6 is for direct-mount rear derailleur setups on disc frames running Shimano-compatible derailleurs. Check your frame and derailleur style before ordering, or contact Dialed Cycling Lab and we will confirm the right part for your bike.

When should I replace my derailleur hanger?

Replace your hanger any time the bike takes a significant impact, after a crash involving the drivetrain side, or if you notice sluggish shifting or derailleur misalignment that persists after cable adjustment. A bent hanger is not always visually obvious.

Can a bent hanger damage my rear derailleur?

Yes. Riding on a bent hanger stresses the derailleur cage and can lead to damaged pulleys, bent derailleur arms, or a broken derailleur in a future shift. Replacing the hanger promptly is much cheaper than replacing the derailleur.

Best For

Factor O2 VAM, Ostro, or One owners who want a genuine OEM replacement hanger with CNC-precision fit, particularly riders who race or ride in groups where crash exposure is a real consideration and being off the bike for a bent hanger is not acceptable.
