The D/A chain ($50!!) that broke on me one month after I bought it? Oh, yes, my friend that went over his bars when his D/A caliper broke, then the arm dug into his rim? Yeah, real durable stuff there......
BTW, I still use D/A derailleurs on one bike, but I wouldn't waste a penny on anything else with the D/A name-not unless somebody is sponsoring me.
He asked about hubs.Where is hubs mentioned in your response. How could Shimano stay in business making that kind of 'junk'. Sure,DA cogs may wear fast because some are Ti, and any Ti cogs will do that.
