Nice. I wonder what caused the problem?

I had a RD fly apart on me once. It had about 80,000 miles on it, so one of the pins holding it together may well have come apart. What I'll always remember is the nasty sound coming from the back of the bike, and watching one of the little idler pulleys scoot ahead of me while I braked to a stop. Never saw it again.
