	I agree.
	I am very rough on derrailleurs. 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).
