제조사로부터의 답변입니다. (MTBR에서 긁어왔습니다.)
요약하자면 작은 충격으로부터는 보호하지만, 큰 충격에는 디레일러나 프레임에 손상이 갈 수 있다고 합니다. 하지만 또 그정도 충격이라면 니 몸부터 걱정하라고 하네요 ^^;
You are correct. By reinforcing the derailleur hanger, the chances of damage elsewhere in the system are increased in some circumstances.
Many times the derailleur is impacted against something during a ride. Sometimes there is a big impact with a lot of damage, and sometimes a smaller impact. In the case of a smaller impact, without the hanger banger, the derailleur hanger bends. Sometimes you can bend the derailleur hanger straight again, sometimes you must replace it. Sometimes, when the chain is on the biggest cog of the cassette, and the derailleur hanger bends in a little bit, the derailleur goes into the spokes, causing a lot of damage to the derailleur, frame, and even the wheel. I have also seen many cases where the derailleur hanger bends while not riding the bike, such as on a car carrying rack with other bikes, or in parking against other bikes.
The hanger banger will eliminate all problems stemming from these smaller impacts. The hanger banger will also make your shifting work better.
In the case of the large impact to your derailleur, the hanger banger will hold the derailleur secure, sometimes causing the derailleur to break, and in rare cases causing the frame dropout to be damaged. However, in these cases, quite often this would have happened with or without the hanger banger, and you might have to be more worried about injury to your body and greater damage to the bicycle over all.
The short story is that you are correct, and that in an extreme case the hanger banger may cause a problem, but this is a rare case and you can be the judge of whether or not you wish to have a hanger banger.
I hope this answered your concerns. We have not yet made the indestructible solution, we have just reduced the chances for damage in most cases.
