I'll have to check that at home tonight. It did seem when I fiddled with it this morning that I could move the RD around but when I tried to tighten the screw it seemed to push the screw out of proper angle alignment. Could it be the RD is too loose in the hanger?

I see that works well for many folks, but I was kind of trying to avoid removing the RD if possible...I didn't want to muck about too much with the adjustments since - aside from issues with the largest 27t cog - it's been shifting pretty well. If this recent development means I need to mess with the hanger bolt anyway, maybe I should try reversing it (for better chance of the screw making proper contact against the drop out?)?
