Thanks for the info. Hmm, I guess it was a poor assumption of me to think, well they are selling well, they must have tested the design. Sounds like not. The ones with the post held by only the one screw from underneath, looked weak to my eyeball. My earlier design Litepro, stronger design, is working well going on 3 years and a lot of shifts. But it does require grinding off the forward-most part of the FD cage inboard lip, for sufficient clearance, and thats for just a 2X, would be impossible for a 3X, with the small ring even more inboard. I hope the earlier design Litepros (top right in pick above) will be available going forward. However it doesn't fit Shimano FDs, that's a problem.
