Okay; cool, cool.
After you mentioned bending you derailer in a crash, I remembered too that I managed to tip over on the drive side while clipped in (don't ask). I'm not sure if my derailer hit or not, but I just went out and checked it. Has a small ding on it but that could have been the previous owner. Anyways, it appears to be straight when I use a plumb and eyeball against my cassette, and shifting to my untrained reflexes feels fine. Think I should be in the clear as long as it looks/feels right? Or is it worth taking it in to have the alignment checked professionally?
I know. Worry less, ride more.
