On my touring bike, I went through several derailleurs until I splurged on a Duopar; since then I've worn out several chains and a cluster but the Duopar is just as good as new. I just bought one today for my mountain bike too. The steel version is very durable. I'm told the titane is less so (does anyone know if this is true?). I haven't seen the original posting, but whenever I thought I has a problem with the Duopar, it's been something else (cluster, chain, dropout). matt "I accept all responsibility for the above mistakes.
