I hope you didn't mean carbon gives you more chances to show your mettle, but I suppose it does.

Anyone else notice that some roubaix bikes have steel derailleur hangers,
Trek is experimenting with hardened steel derailleur hangers on team bikes to gain a little extra shifting performance and better durability in crashes.

alu stems and bars, and the sram teams use steel caged front derailleurs instead of the stock lighter ones?

'Guess Svein didn't get the memo. :?

PS I have a few steel hangers, but they're attached to frames.. 8)
