Out of general interest I've been getting my head around DRD derailleurs and found this explanation on the Orange website

The hanger takes the place of the upper link of a conventional rear derailleur, connecting the frame to the upper pivot of a DRD specific mech and eliminating the weakest part of the system.

The thing is, to my eye, it just looks as though the system consists of a new hanger, I can't see how the derailleur is directly connected to the frame.  Am I missing the point?

You remove the b link from the mech and attach the mech at the b pivot to the longer style mech hanger.
