Maybe his riding conditions are different than yours, and this is something he has actually experienced. It turns out that not all of us have the same experiences. It seems to me like you're the one that has over-blown elcruxio's comments into "fears" and "nightmare scenarios". Mechanical issues aren't necessarily catastrophes, but just something that has to be dealt with. Such is the nature the bicycle machine.
