My frame doesn’t allow for me to attach a direct mount derailleur, it only allows me to attach derailleurs that have a hook that you slide into the dropout then tighten. I found this sort of “derailleur hanger” that would allow you to attach a direct mount derailleur and would widen my options when looking for a new derailleur. Most derailleurs that have that hook mount are cheap garbage. Would this conversion hanger be a good idea? In the comments I will attach a photo of my bikes derailleur so you can have a better understanding of what I’m talking about.

This is my bikes derailleur. You can see that there is a hook that mounts the derailleur onto the frame. It is secured to the frame with a bolt and nut with the frame being sandwiched between them, then it is further secured with the axle nut.
