Add possible overheating at the factory... That's where many dropouts have broken before. Campy Strada 1010s and 1010Bs are known for this. The hole right at the point of minimum cross section isn't a help either. The cheap fix is to add a gusset spanning the two stays and avoids the chain. The better fix is to replace the drop out. Andy
