<p>I bought a new bike in 2011 for a cx race bike and was going to keep this for a training bike. I got hurt & haven't been able to race since '11 so I don't need 2 bikes & this one has to go. It really hurts to get rid of this, It was a lot of fun. Got a lot of compliments on the color too.<br></br> <br></br> Original Equip: 2006…</p>

<p>In two consecutive races, my girlfriend and I have broken our rear derailleurs in similar fashion. We're both riding 2011 Kona Jake the Snakes (aww, how cute, matching bikes...). Her's was built up from a frameset and has a Shimano 105, mine was running the stock Ultegra. Mine broke at the Cross Crusade race at PIR, where I met another 2011 Jake the Snake rider with an identical broken derailleur; and her's broke at Kruger's Crossing. </p>

<p>Limit adjustment and chain length had been checked, and both derailleurs were shifting well. Whatever the cause of the damage, we'd both have preferred to have the derailleur hanger sacrifice itself to save the rear derailleur. Is that an unreasonable expectation? Are the Kona derailleur hangers too strong? </p>
