It's usually a separate piece, but I think also usually there's a way to secure it to the frame. Really curious to see what this one looks like, OP can you post a picture when it arrives?

Sucks to have to wait for one piece in the mail when you're trying to do your bike build. Recently got delayed for 2 weeks waiting for a derailleur barrel adjuster. The person who gave me the derailleur had kept the part in case he needed it for his conversion to eTap.

It's the same concept as a derailleur hangar. It's a disposable/replaceable part that you can replace if it becomes damaged.

it's probably worth collecting a spare or two, just like with derailleur hangars

Hangar: large building for storing airplanes. Hanger: something from which you hang things.

How do you know he doesn't have airplanes flying into his derailleur.

Part finally came. The fit is very loose but it's staying put with added retaining compound (no regrets, I hope). Just waiting on the BB and a minor modification on the crank for the PM spider before I complete build.

Thanks for posting, the mystery was killing me personally. Interesting that it's one piece, I agree with other posters that ordering an extra is a good idea.

Did you try it on with the whole wheel including disc in brake caliper before using whatever compound you used? A little play might be necessary to get things seated right before tightening?

Only the thru-axle when I affixed it with retaining component. I assumed that it should be like the front with no zero play. Put the wheel on w/disc & caliper after a day of curing and there's sufficient play for adjustments. Part is on back order but will be ordering a spare along with the hanger once available.
