That does suck. If I were you I would definitely contact Campy to see if they'll replace that under warranty. Since Campy no longer markets or sells Xenon, you'd likely get the Veloce RD as an upgrade.LeeDome said:

A few years ago I was testing a new set of wheels for a wheel manufacturer when I hit a pothole at speed, and the wheel took the rear derailleur and part of the replaceable hanger off. Fortunately the rear wheel didn't lock. As it happened the RD was a Campy Record 10spd, but the RD wasn't to blame. It was the wheel design that had pathetic lack of lateral stiffness.
