Salsa Alternator 1.0/2.0 UDH Plate Kit for SRAM Full Mount Derailleur Upgrade

The Salsa Alternator 1.0/2.0 UDH Plate Kit offers a precise and reliable upgrade solution for riders seeking to enhance their compatible Salsa Alternator 1.0 or 2.0 frames. This kit enables the seamless integration of SRAM Full Mount derailleurs or the SRAM Universal Derailleur Hanger (UDH), delivering improved drivetrain performance and shifting accuracy. Designed specifically for flat-mount brake systems, it ensures optimal alignment and maintains the integrity of your bike’s braking setup.

By repositioning the rear wheel 17mm further back, the kit refines your bike’s geometry, contributing to enhanced handling and ride stability. It preserves native compatibility with 140mm flat-mount disc brakes, ensuring consistent braking power without compromise. The inclusion of a non-driveside upper mounting bolt, tailored for steel and titanium frames, alongside a lock nut that replaces the IS brake adaptor, guarantees a secure and durable installation.

Installation is straightforward when used with a 12mm thru axle and SRAM UDH or Full Mount derailleurs (sold separately). The design also allows for the reuse of existing hardware or the option to purchase additional components from the Alternator 1.0 or 2.0 Hardware Kits, providing versatility and convenience for frame upgrades. This kit is an essential component for riders looking to maintain and enhance their bike performance with trusted, manufacturer-specific parts.
