Vex appears to have attempted to address that issue, but I'm always wary of being the test-monkey on an expensive product that goes into a place that is as critical as the drive train is.

On another note, the modifications they've made to the ball shifter has me drooling. I hate dog gears with a passion after this past year.
Just curious, what problems did you have with dog gears?
