That was the factory derailleur, and I've done a LOT of climbing on it. Supposedly, heavy duty shifting puts a lot of stress on the derailleur. The metal sheered right off. The guys at Wheat Ridge were amazed at the damage! And, as Iron Needles said, it didn't throw me. It very well could have. Then this report would be totally different from a totally different mindset, as I was moving pretty fast when this happened.Snowcatcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06360228352528558176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7672125489692725745.post-7497102922271027032010-06-22T02:09:20.580-06:002010-06-22T02:09:20.580-06:00You went with the mountain bike hybrid?
