Introducing the Random Derailleur Hanger of the Month Club
From Wheels Manufacturing: Because There Are Thousands, and We Make Most of Them
Rear Derailleur hangers: they’re small, oddly shaped, and absolutely essential to how your bike shifts. And here’s the kicker, there are literally thousands of different kinds.
That’s not an exaggeration. Over the years, bike brands have developed unique rear derailleur hanger designs for different models, frame materials, axle types, dropout geometries, you name it. The result? A never-ending catalog of aluminum dropout widgets that all do the same job in slightly different ways.
At Wheels Manufacturing, we’ve spent decades cataloging, machining, and distributing rear derailleur hangers. Today, we make tens of thousands of these unique hangers per year, precision CNC-machined right here in Colorado.
And now… we’re making them collectible.
Introducing the Random Derailleur Hanger of the Month Club™ a completely unnecessary but oddly satisfying subscription service that delivers a new random hanger to your door every month. It might not fit your bike, but it’ll definitely start a conversation.
What’s in the Box?
- One completely random rear derailleur hanger
- A collectible spec card with facts like: “Allegedly fits a brand we couldn’t verify, possibly made during a lunar eclipse in the late 1900s.”
- A monthly opportunity to say, “What the heck is this one for?”
- And absolutely no guarantee it fits anything you own
The Hanger Hall of Fame™ Display Case
For true rear derailleur hanger aficionados, we’ve designed the ultimate shrine:

This April 1st, celebrate the obscure, the over-engineered, and the oddly essential. Because rear derailleur hangers may be small, but they matter. Why not make most of them!
