Mountain bikers listen up! If you've taken a spill and bent or broken your derailleur hanger, this replacement #183 is here to get you back on the trails. Specifically designed for Santa Cruz bikes, this bad boy replaces part number SNZ0261 and fits a bunch of models including the Blur LT 2 (2008-2013), Chameleon (2007-2010), Heckler (2007-2010), Nomad (2007-2010), and several others from those years.
This isn't some cheap cast piece - it's CNC machined from 6061 aluminum, which means it's strong, precise, and built to handle the abuse that comes with serious riding. It comes with the M5x10 flat head screws you need for installation, but here's a crucial pro tip: before you install this (or any derailleur hanger), check your rear dropout alignment. If your dropouts are bent, you'll just keep breaking hangers until you get that sorted first.
The fit is absolutely critical with these parts, so always compare the photo of this hanger against your broken one. If they don't look identical, it won't fit properly. But when you get the right match, installation is straightforward and you'll be back to smooth shifting in no time. Don't let a broken hanger keep you off your Santa Cruz - keep one of these in your toolkit as a backup and avoid those frustrating trailside repairs!
