After reading this again I realize I am coming off as a shill for
Nashbar, sorry not my intent. I'd rather buy from RWB and I am glad

I wore out the pivot assembly on an XTR M95x. The upper pully was

I've never worn out a rear derailleur, although I have had to replace jockey

All this talk about longevity me thinking: How long does a rear
derailer last? Since the RD gets used the most, is hanging in the
breeze, and has constantly moving parts, it should wear out sooner
