Hi All,

Looking for advice, I did this going up a very small hill

The rear mech has completely sheared. The rear mech will have to be repaced along with the chain but will the cassette be ok?

Thanks

    Looks like you've not set the low-limit screw correctly on the rear mech and the result is that the mech has been dragged into the spokes when searching for the low gear. Cassette should be fine.

    Cassette and chain should be OK. The rear hanger on the frame may have been bent and the wheel needs checking out - even if its still true make sure that the spokes haven't been damaged so that the are likely to fail later.
