Product Information
Full details
The Burgtec UDH Hanger is an essential upgrade or replacement component for mountain bike riders using frames compatible with the SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) standard. It offers superior durability through a forged and machined design while protecting your derailleur via an innovative impact-rotation feature; however, users must verify their specific frame requires the UDH standard before purchase as it is not backward compatible with non-UDH systems.

FAQs
Is this hanger compatible with all mountain bikes?
No, it is only compatible with frames designed to accept the SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH) standard.
Does this hanger work with eMTBs?
Yes, the Burgtec UDH Hanger is built to handle the extra forces associated with both standard MTB and eMTB drivetrains.
What tools do I need for installation?
You will generally need a set of hex keys (Allen keys) to remove the thru-axle and the hanger mounting screw.
Why does the hanger rotate?
The impact-rotation design is intended to prevent the hanger from snapping or bending when struck, potentially saving your derailleur from damage.
Does it include the mounting screw?
Yes, the package includes the hanger, the mounting screw, and the necessary washer.
Troubleshooting
Poor shifting performance after installation
Check that the hanger is fully seated against the dropout and confirm the thru-axle is tightened to the correct torque specification.
Hanger does not fit the frame
Verify that your frame is explicitly listed as compatible with the SRAM UDH standard; this hanger will not fit standard threaded dropouts.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation of the Burgtec UDH Hanger is a straightforward process. First, shift your chain to the smallest cog to reduce tension. Unscrew your rear thru-axle and remove the rear wheel. Unbolt the existing hanger using a standard hex wrench, clean the mounting surface on the frame, and install the new Burgtec hanger using the provided mounting screw and washer. Ensure the hanger is seated flush against the frame dropout. When installing the thru-axle, ensure it is tightened to the frame manufacturer's specified torque rating. Regularly inspect the hanger alignment after significant impacts to ensure smooth shifting performance.
