I always break things, snapped the bloody chain this morning....
I may even be heavy than your good self (but not as charismatic or powerful) and I’ve always been hard on components/frames.
Whilst not covering continents tweeting, I do a fair mileage and give the stuff a going over.
I just expect things to work, give or take wear and tear, I put nearly 9000 miles into 10s apex and it was faultless, 1000 miles on this shit and it’s toast.

What are you doing to your components? My early Ultegra/785 combo of shit has been flogged across the US twice, Europe twice - RD swapped to get a long cage, the original is is still fine, killed a set of rotors but that was my own fault for starting a hilly 400k with worn pads and chewing shit out of the discs (used for commuting now). Scherrit killed a one of the calipers while doing a rebuild once so the rear is a cheaper 105 version. I do still hate the lever throw on the R785 but they work and so I haven't swapped out my new Ultegra levers yet.
