| Feb 5, 2018 at 18:37 | comment | added | David Richerby | We don't give product recommendations but, anyway, I'm not really sure what you're looking for. "Road riding" and "trying jumps" sound like two completely different things, to me. | |

| Feb 5, 2018 at 18:15 | comment | added | Grigory Rechistov | You could start with specifying exact name and brand of your bicycle and the model of derailleur. There are a lot of variables in the game. You should think about compatibility between derailleur and the rest of drivetrain first, not about its "sturdiness". It is no good to buy an expensive part that will not work with the rest of the drivetrain. | |
| Feb 5, 2018 at 18:13 | comment | added | Grigory Rechistov | A "sturdier" derailleur in a case of a crash will not only break itself but will also damage spokes, resulting in a broken rear wheel and an even more serious crash. In fact, not a single derailleur is qualified for surviving crashes, it is the task of the derailleur hanger to break first and save the much more expensive frame. | |
| Feb 5, 2018 at 18:13 | comment | added | user36494 | What do u mean land on the derailleur? And no i own a minelli or something along that spelling. Its a 21 speed. Looking at doing some upgrades just not sure where to start | |

| Feb 5, 2018 at 18:08 | comment | added | Grigory Rechistov | Hello and welcome to the Bicycles SX! Please take some time to look around this site to learn the rules about what questions are likely to be answered. People manage to make it with all types of derailleurs just fine, even without any derailleurs, that is with internal gearing systems or even singlespeed. Have you considered compatibility with your bicycle, or do you do it the other way around: first buy a derailleur and then choose a bicycle that is compatible with it? As for jumps, you are not planning to land on the derailleur, right? It is not designated for it in any case. | |
