hack method for straightening a bent derailleur hanger
Had a minor dust up on yesterdays ride. Guy in front of me touched wheels and went down. I couldn't avoid him and managed to stay upright but my bike took a tumble landing on the derailleur and bending hanger.
I ordered a new one but it won't be here until Tuesday. I adjusted the limit so I can get use the first 10 cogs. The derailleur just barely touches the spokes in the smallest cog and I cannot get into the 11 cog with the limit screw backed all the way out.
Anyone know a way to straighten it without the buying the $150 Park DAG-2.2? I can live without the 11 cog for a few days, but the rubbing spoke issue concerns me a bit. the hanger is held on by two tiny screws so I don't really want to pull on it. I was thinking about taking it off, put it in a vice and give it a couple taps with a hammer.
