My far-from-expert understanding was that the core purpose of the hanger was so that, when the inevitable happened, it happened to a cheap replaceable part instead of to the RD or the frame. That seemed like an eminently worthwhile purpose. So I'm confused about SRAM's basic vision here of why removing the hanger is a good thing, and I'm confused about why others don't share my confusion about it. I must be missing something obvious.
