FAQ

What is a Dropout Claw Hanger?

A Dropout Claw Hanger mount attaches the derailleur directly to horizontal or semi-horizontal dropout slots in the rear dropout, rather than to a standard threaded hanger bolt. This style is common on older and simpler bikes where the frame was not designed with a replaceable hanger.

How is this different from the direct mount version?

The only difference is the mounting style. The dropout claw version is for frames with horizontal dropout mounts. The direct mount version (ERDTY500SGSD) is for frames with standard 10x1 threaded derailleur hangers found on most current bikes.

Can this handle a 34t cassette?

Yes. The long SGS cage handles cassettes up to 34t maximum low sprocket with 43t total capacity.

Best For

Budget entry-level MTB, commuter, and older bikes with horizontal dropout claw-style hanger mounts that need a 6/7-speed long cage rear derailleur for wide-range cassette setups.
