You guys recommending hangers be replaced for minor bends, obviously never worked in a shop.

1) Hangers are realigned on a daily basis at the shop level, for non excessive bends
2) I can remember one maybe two times we replaced a hanger for a minor misalignment -- in 10 ******g years
3) There is NO way to determine once the bike has left the shop who was at fault, the customer aka YOU could've bent it anytime it left the shop. Some hangers, on cervelos or other manufacturers are EASILY bent.

And just to remind people, I worked in a high end road shop that dealt with these kinds of bikes, on a daily basis.

If you were a good customer the shop might take on the full repair cost, but there is ZERO way to know who was at fault here.
