Overview

Why choose the Wheels Mfg Derailleur Hanger 167?

The Wheels Manufacturing Derailleur Hanger 167 replaces the OEM hanger on many Giant, Liv, and CO-OP frames, and it outperforms the original in the ways that matter. It starts with CNC-machined 6061 aluminum held to tighter tolerances than the offshore hangers most bike brands ship. A stiffer hanger keeps your derailleur truer to its indexed position under pedaling load instead of flexing with each stroke, which translates directly to crisper, more consistent shifting. The black anodized finish resists corrosion and keeps the hanger looking clean through seasons of real riding.

Like every Wheels Manufacturing hanger, the 167 is made in the USA and acts as a properly sacrificial part, absorbing damage to protect your frame dropout in a crash or impact. This hanger requires two fasteners and does not include mounting hardware, so note that carbon frames use M3x8 flat head screws and non-carbon frames use M3x10. Because manufacturers sometimes change hangers mid-production year, confirm fitment by matching your existing hanger to the product photos before ordering. Keep a spare in your kit and a bent hanger will never end your ride.

How do I confirm the 167 hanger fits my specific bike?

Match your existing hanger shape and bolt pattern to the product photos. The 167 fits many Giant, Liv, and CO-OP frames, but manufacturers sometimes change hangers mid-production year, so visual confirmation is more reliable than model year alone.

Does this hanger come with mounting hardware?

No. The 167 requires two fasteners that are not included. Carbon frames use M3x8 flat head screws and non-carbon frames use M3x10. If you are not reusing your old hardware, add the correct screws to your order.

Why does a stiffer hanger improve shifting performance?

Your derailleur's indexed positions assume the hanger holds its angle precisely. A flex-prone OEM hanger introduces micro-movement under load that throws off shift timing, while a stiffer CNC-machined hanger keeps the derailleur planted where it belongs.

Should I carry a spare derailleur hanger?

Yes. Hangers are designed to be the sacrificial weak link that protects your frame, which means they can bend in a fall or dropout impact. A spare is cheap insurance on any ride where a bent hanger would leave you stranded.
