What Sets the Wheels Manufacturing 172 Hanger Apart From OEM?

The Wheels Manufacturing Derailleur Hanger 172 replaces the stock hanger on a long list of alloy Trek frames, including FX alloy from 2015 to 2017, Dual Sport from 2013 to 2017, CrossRip from 2013 to 2017, Verve from 2014 to 2016, Neko from 2014 to 2017, plus the 720, Allant, Conduit+, Lync, Shift, Transport, XM700+, and Zektor. It also fits the Giant AnyTour E+ from 2021. It attaches to the rear dropout from the derailleur side with a single M6 chainring bolt, and that fastener is included, which is not true of every hanger in the Wheels Mfg range. Match the shape against your current hanger before ordering, since bike makers change hangers mid year and one frame name can take two different parts.

Each 172 is CNC machined from 6061 aluminum in Wheels Manufacturing's Colorado shop and finished in black anodize. Wheels Mfg builds these stiffer than most OEM hangers, and a hanger that flexes less holds the derailleur in a truer plane, which is what cleans up shifting across the cassette. It is still the sacrificial part, designed to bend or shear before your frame or your derailleur does, so a spare in the parts drawer is the difference between a ten minute fix and a lost weekend. It carries a 1 year warranty. If you are not certain the 172 is your hanger, bring the old one in and we will lay it against ours.

Does the Wheels Manufacturing 172 hanger include the bolt?

Yes, the Wheels Manufacturing 172 ships with the one M6 chainring bolt it needs. Not every hanger in the Wheels Mfg range includes a fastener, so this one saves a second line on the order.

What Trek part number does the 172 hanger replace?

The Wheels Manufacturing 172 replaces Trek part W301608. If your bike is not on the fitment list, that part number is the fastest way to confirm a match against your frame.

Why choose a Wheels Manufacturing hanger over the OEM part?

Wheels Manufacturing CNC machines its hangers from 6061 aluminum in its Colorado shop and builds them stiffer than most OEM hangers, which improves durability and shifting precision. They are made in the USA and carry a 1 year warranty.

Best For

Best for owners of alloy Trek fitness and commuter bikes, the FX, Dual Sport, Verve, CrossRip, and Neko families in particular, who bent a hanger or want a spare on the shelf. It is also the one to keep in stock if you run a family fleet or a shop bike built on those Trek platforms, because a single part number covers a large share of them.
