French term or phrase: anti-dérailleur
From a description of a new mountain bike.

"Côté technique, on a profité du nouveau anti-dérailleur développé pour les SUBSIN, qui marche à merveille, silencieux, léger et avec un look discret et agressif, exactement ce qu’on avait besoin pour [this bike]."

The entry for "anti-dérailleur" in the glossary doesn't seem to fit this context.
