Bike Derailleurs

Bike Derailleurs at Decathlon Ireland

The bike derailleur is a crucial component that plays an integral role in the smooth functioning of a bicycle's drivetrain system. It serves as the mechanism responsible for shifting gears, allowing cyclists to effortlessly transition between various gear ratios to adapt to changing terrain and riding conditions. Comprised of both front derailleurs and rear derailleurs, this intricate system ensures optimal efficiency and performance, making it an essential part for any avid cyclist.

The hanger bike, also known as the derailleur hanger or dropout, is a small but crucial part of the bike derailleur system. Made from durable materials such as aluminum or steel, it serves as a connection point between the derailleur and the bicycle frame. Its purpose is to provide a secure and stable attachment for the derailleur, ensuring proper alignment and smooth operation during gear shifts.
