Submitted by Nelson Ho a cross-country rider from Potomac, MD

Bottom Line:


The Accents alum. rear derailleur bolt is designed as a break-away bolt. It's supposed to break when you crash hard on your
rear derailleur, so you don't bend the derailleur hanger. Well, they need to make them break a little more
easily. After wrecking on my rear derailleur, the bolt didn't break. My hanger was bent, and so was the bolt.
So, I rode with a bent hanger and a derailleur that won't pivot freely to tighten up the chain slack when I'm using
small sprockets. $5, what a jip. Well, maybe I didn't crash hard enough. :-)
If it breaks, then my hanger would've been saved.
