there is not a heavy duty derailer, but the you can get one identical to the one you just broke for a few dollars. Look for Shimano Alivio 8 sp derailer at www.nashbar.com or some other online retailer.

Very true, girlscout runs a X9 with a 8speed cassette. Most of the time 8 speed stuff is cheaper than 9 speed. I should have said that in the first place.

), the chain slaps down, rebounds and the derailer wraps up in a nice little bow and goes for a walk. Putting on a more expensive derailer would just mean a more expensive bit of junk to throw out when it biffs too
I agree, find the problem and then fix it.
