I've put my rear derailleur through some abuse, the hanger too, in the 9 months I rode the 5 Spot. The hangers is true, as far as I can tell and the derailleur aside from some nasty scratches, is fine as well.
Fast forward to the Six Pack I just took for a little spin. I still have a fever and my stomach flue keeps me within 15 minutes of my bathroom, so I just rode around familiar neighborhood urban terrain. Nothing big. I ditched my bike on one manouver as my balance is off. It hit the ground, derailleur side, from zero velocity, I pick it up and ... take a look. It sucked double as I had to walk over 20 minutes back home, barely made it...
DT said that people complained that the derailleur hanger on their frames was too beefy and wanted it more fragile. Well, I hope you guys are happy. I want old school hangers back!
