Ouch...my new bike damaged. Help!
Two months ago I bought a Ritchey Break Away cross bike and brought it over to Italy with me. I went for a ride today and stopped at one point to relieve myself on the side of the road. I leaned my bike against a street post and when I stepped aside a gust of wind knocked it over. I was bummed that it had a scratch on the derailuer but figured it was no big deal. I started riding and it worked fine, then started shifting rough. Next thing I know I am coming to a halt because the derailuer got hung up in the cassette. It mangled the derailuer and bent the dropout tab in quite severly. I am wondering what to do. Anyone straighten a badly bent tab? I have little in the way of tools since I'm far from home but I do work at an Italian factory and could possibly borrow some of thier tools. I'll look for a vise tomorrow, only thing I can think of is put it in a large vise and bend it back.
