ABSTRACT:
A device designed to replace the existing mounting bolt and snap-ring on most derailleurs. A head and barrel are connected to retain the spring and tension adjusting components of the derailleur and to serve as a receptacle for a pin. The pin attaches directly to the derailleur hanger of the bicycle and is designed to withstand normal pedaling forces, while assuring separation prior to excessive yielding of the derailleur. The pin is manufactured with an opening so that a tool can be inserted in it to easily remove the separated pieces. As a result, damage to the frame and derailleur is prevented and the bicycle can be easily repaired by replacement of the pin.
