- I have fitted this nice looking direct mount hanger from Sigeyi to my Canyon Ultimate, it came from Aliexpress for little more than £40.
Is it worth it or it’s just another pointless upgrade?
In this video I am wearing Siroko SRX Pro Tirreno jersey and BX Umbrail bib shorts, both in Large. I’m 185cm tall, 86Kg.
The glasses are Siroko photochromic K3.

Ordered the same one that was fitted to my Aeroad yesterday.
Sounds promising and sometimes silly upgrades are fine as long as you get out on the road👍👍
Not to mention the placebo effect 😂
You've convinced me to get one for my Supersix. If you makes you happy then you should always go for it.
Great 👍👍
If it makes you smile, then it is a worthy upgrade in my opinion. Looks good!🙂
👍 👍 😄 😄
Direct mount derailleur hangers primarily make wheel replacements easier/faster, most important to pros and their mechanics in races. The kink between the two links is eliminated, which makes sliding the cassette/axle in place a bit less of a hassle
Looks cool. Always wondered what these things did.
Looks cool and works well so far!
Well, old hangers were threaded on the bottom of the drop out. When they bent they'd have to be bent back or the whole drop out replaced. So Giant and eventually everybody engineered replaceable hangers designed with softer aluminum, so that derailleur pulleys would not bend out of alignment in a crash. Can't see how it gets any better than that, mechanically.
Seems like direct mount positions the derailleur further back on the cassette, giving it wider reach on the large gears. I'm probably missing something. What's the subtle advantage the racers are getting here, smoother shifting?
Not sure really, but so far I like it 😄
I believe the (touted) benefit is more accurate/precise shifting and possibly quicker actuation as it has a stiffer foundation. For pros I believe it also facilitates quicker wheel changes (the derailleur is further out of the way).
Looks like that another bling upgrade for the bikes! I need 3 of them though🤦🏽
Bling is everything 😂
Have you tried an oversized pulley cage for the rear derailleur? Wonder if that’s hype or an effective upgrade.
No, I haven't, but if you watch what Hambini had to say about them you can class the oversized pulleys into the non effective upgrades. They look so cool though! Too expensive for me to try on for now.
What ever it does, it looks good 😎
Mission accomplished 😄
how tight did you torque the hanger? The original one has 1Nm specs written on it but my torque wrench can only go as low as 2Nm
Did not use a torque wrench, only by hand, enough for it not to move. I used some medium firm loctite thread locker just in case.
Last year I broke mine for the first time and was DEVASTATED! I thought I broke my whole frame. Turned out that piece was MADE to break off. Such a pleasant feeling of relief that this piece was made.
Yes, it's horrible to hear that crunching noise when it happens!
Never really paid attention to those. Maybe if I need to replace mine ever it might be something to try. I guess it might be more risk in a crash or tip over event, but those situations are so case to case the regular set up might be the same risk. 🤙
I got curious as most pro teams use them, but as they say we should not copy them!
I wanna get one, too! 😁
What is the model you got for your ultimate? I'm also riding an ultimate.
I got one for rim brake of course, has to be the one with 2 bolts, QR2. At least for my latest version.
Ciao Federico, regarding the breaking of the hanger, the very important thing is the material used for that hanger. In general the hangers are using very soft materials so they break easily. Those materials are so soft that even trying to bend them back, after a crash for example, always ends up with a crack.
I don't know what's the material of that new hanger but the geometry of the structure seems to be a lot stronger. I think, in case of a crash it will pull the screws from the threads in the frame. There is again soft material to not bend the frame joint.
I personally would not do something like this.
Ciao Marco, yes, I thought about that, but close to the frame they are similar actually. The frame is not threaded, the hanger is.
i was thinking the same thing
@@fede1275 you are right. Which kind of material is it?
@@marcocasamassima389 same aluminium, so it should do the same job in case
I'm putting mine on tonight.. Nice Video.. No reason to take the chain off.. 👍🏽
Make sure you grease the surface to avoid galvanic corrosion near to the frame!
@@fede1275 Any particular greese you used?
@@andrewlabat9963 no, see my video here when I had to change it th-cam.com/video/Jejck7Cnf4A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=dO_2BCHIMeEwPuw-
The NHS can take a huge sigh of relief 😉👌🏻
😂😂
👍🏻
Next you will be buying oversized jockey wheels 🤔😁😁
Even more pointless! But too expensive for now
Can i put it on my CinelliSuperstar? When is aesthetically better always worths the upgrade :D
Need to check if there is a version for your bike. If so definitely yes!
@@fede1275 I check already but see only few frames support direct mount hanger. I wonder if there are other brands that fit on my frame.
@@Godspeed961 must be, maybe under a different brand name
did you buy this online ? if so can you please provide the store ?
I got it from Aliexpress, Chaser store.
@@fede1275 cheers!
What lube do you use ? 🧐
I have been using Squirt wax based for a while now
Should’ve sent it to Hambini 😅
I'm sure Velobuild frame would not survive a few seconds with Hambini...
Now if the hanger breaks it will be done in style 😂😂
Style is everything 😂
It’s not about 20s year pro let’s get that out of the equation. It’s about efficiency anywhere it can be found.
4:59 Spending 40 lbs - lets face it the bike looks better...Fede, you are now officially "infected". Cheers
There no way back 😂
Very nice looking and as you said weight and gear changing efficiency...the only thing that I would do in your place...erase the chinese brand with softly rubbing with acetone nail paint removal..
I know, but I actually don't mind. Proud to be cheap 😄
@@fede1275 its not a suggestion because of the price - looks very well made and it's a piece of aluminum- only for stealth look purposes...!
@@Panos_Sfa_Gr stealth is a good reason then! Will think about it!
@@fede1275 😉 cheers my friend
Pointless yes looks cool also yes 👌
Then totally justified!!
“ pointless upgrade “ 😅😂
I'm becoming an expert in those 😄
Not pointless on all bikes on my Bianchi Xr4 after I put a direct mount on it is much easier to remove the wheel because hanger doesn’t go straight down
@@christerohlsson9034 of course, and actually the shifting is better too!
Yeah, No.
I don't get it, so my vote is for 'pointless upgrade'. Still, if YOU like it, that's all that counts.
Yes, absolutely 😄
Nike shirt? Traitor
They give me a weird look when I am always in Siroko lycra...
Two ways to spend money, One, buy a useless part for the bike that offers no tangible benefits. Two, take the wifey out for diner and get a nice surprise when you get home. There's more to life than that stupid bike. 😉
I'm glad my wife doesn't read these comments 😂
@@fede1275 Glad or Lucky?🤔
