Wheels Manufacturing Derailleur Hanger #619 is a direct CNC-machined 6061 aluminium replacement for the sacrificial hanger that bolts the rear derailleur to the frame — the part that's designed to bend or snap in a shift-into-the-spokes crash so the frame and derailleur don't have to.

Compatibility & fit

Derailleur hanger fitment is frame- and year-specific — match Hanger #619 against the old hanger (or the exact frame model and year) before ordering. The Tune workshop can fit a new hanger and align it on the bike; derailleur hanger alignment is a workshop service, not something to skip after a hanger swap.
