Hi. I was originally thinking I would swap them out for hangers that met spec, but the retailer is backordered. If I ride em, or break em, or it is weaker from aligning, then it's out of my pocket. It's kind of annoying because I figured by having a good sample set, I would no doubt have at least one good one, and backups.

One other thought I wanted to throw into the discussion is I'm riding a triple crankset. Just thinking out loud, but it seems the more angled chainlines possible on a triple, combined with the longer arm of a medium cage derailleur, may add some additional lateral force to the derailleur and hanger. I'm sure 95%+ of CAAD10 riders use doubles. I avoid extreme crosschaining for the most part, but it accidentally happens once in a great while. No idea if this is relevant to the conversation - just throwing it out there.
