i dont know what their road set is going to be like, but i shute hope its stronger than their MTB set! several occurances of derailers exploding at a weak point. i think its caused by the fact that they wont move verticly like a shimano one will , hence it just brakes the derailer at the weakerst point when theres stress applied ( like a big stick!). from experience a Shimano derailer will jam, probably bend the hanger but survive.
