Hi!
went out on a ride on my gt avalanche yesterday and came of, going down a set of steps. I think I may have either bent the rear mech or bent the jockey wheel cage out of position. :(
I was wondering if I need to get a new mech of if I can bend it back?
it is a shimano deore 9spd.
When you look at the cassete from above it looks like the mech is out of line with the chain, the top of the mech is also touching the frame and bangs as I ride.
road: carrera tdf ltd 2012
xc: gt avalance 1.0 2008

love cycling :)

    you may have just bent the mech hanger.

    but get it looked at.
