Deraillers only "malfunction" due to being damaged (crash, etc) or poor adjustment (most gimps don't know how to adjust gears). On the ToI I was amazed at the quality of the cyclists and also amazed at how many rode with clicking, out of adjustment gears. I'm fucking lazy with my bike maintenance and my machine shifted like 'buttah' even without cleaning/lubing for 5 days riding through all weather.
Fit fit fit! Test ride everything.
