Had friends on a recent ride where they busted 2 of them. Was a good reminder for those who didnt carry one for their bike to go and get one ASAP. Im not sure I want a more 'robust' hanger? The whole idea of the hanger is to save your frame/derailleur from getting completely mangled. If you make them too strong and they dont snap, then they are really doing their job. I think the 'shadow' part of the new derailleurs plays a part, in that they dont stick out as far, but the cages do seem to drag a lot lower.
