Mine did not completely collapse but I could see how it could happen to Oosbahnd&Weefay. I could plainly see the Rocket Adjuster compress when shifting and I would assume it is because they are not built to very precise tolerances. I could also see that after some time the compression/uncompression cycles could be a preliminary cause of total failure.

I am happy to be rid of mine.
