This is my second one that broke in 6 months!! First one I thought nothing of it, it's just one of them things but 5 week after having my second one this has also broke! Will they be under warranty? Surely they'll just say I've hit it too hard on a rock or sumat? This is getting expensive and I can't afford to be replacing them at the cost they are.

Set your gears up properly and stop crashing into stuff.

The first one cracked by the pivot point near the x second one completely snapped middle of the arm, gears all nicely set up no major crashes, been riding bikes with mechs for 20 year and never had problems that weren't without a good reason before.
No pics teasel, don't know how to get them on here anyhow.

I had mine twist and snap with a twig going through the spokes, on the first ride out with it! Expensive bloody twig that was. I'm very unsure about their strength but the fact is there is nothing else that replicates their function as well on a 1x10 drivechain just now.
