I thought of one step further- deadly part synergy.
Early Lamberts had, along with the death fork, a very ungainly steel plate Suntour copy rear derailleur. It worked badly.
True story. I have my head down looking at the misbehaving derailler when I bump, at 3 miles per hour, into a parked car and snap the fork!
