FD spring

The spring on my front derailleur broke this weekend. The groupset was adjusted about a week ago. Is it possible that this readjustment of the groupset could have caused the spring to break, or is it just something that happens?

The two incidents are not related. When you adjust your derailer, you fiddle with two limit screws or the clamp.

I cannot think how, even with a big screwdriver, one would break that spring by forcing it. It has to come from within.

Your bike shop is innocent.

Thanks, I figured it is just something that happens with fatigue, but needed to make sure.
