replacing derailleur?
Hey all
Here's my story:
While riding my bicycle through random bushland I noticed my rear derailleur suddenly fell apart. This, in effect, completely cut my derailleur out of the driveline. I managed to recover the small gear that started at the end of the derailleur arm, and was just wondering whether it would be possible to somehow get it back in there, or whether i have to replace the derailleur completely. If I had to replace it, how would i do so?

Yep, the pulleys are no problem; you can probably get some for free from your LBS old-parts bin. But be sure nothing is bent or twisted; the "cage" that holds the pulleys might have been tweaked, and will cause no end of shifting problems.
