Because I think a derailleur wearing out after 3000k isn't unreasonable if you've been riding a lot of wet gritty trails... wet grit will destroy anything - mechs, headsets, BBs.
Indeed, it seemed a lots quicker if your previous bike were a fixed wheelers (I kept forgetting how long they last for in comparison).

The CdA I'm looking at comes with 2x10 gearing though. All my mountain bike are 1x10 or 1x11 and I love it, I guess 2x10 gives the range needed for all-day climbs as well as road descents (put a 24t chainring on my 1x10 Krampus for that very reason, low gear of 24-36... nuts)
What sort of riding have you been doing to knacker it? And do you mean 300k or 3000k? Because I think a derailleur wearing out after 3000k isn't unreasonable if you've been riding a lot of wet gritty trails... wet grit will destroy anything - mechs, headsets, BBs.
Any other negatives, durability and gearing aside?
