Cycling gear's allure: ride when excited (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

derailleur

'cycling gear's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'allure ride when excited' is the wordplay.
'when excited' indicates an anagram.
'allure'+'ride'='allureride'
'allureride' anagrammed gives 'DERAILLEUR'.

(Other definitions for derailleur that I've seen before include "may go on bike" , "Cycling gear" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
