Theres a bend in my rear derailleur. All the rear gears are working nicely. Although when I want to change into the highest (9sp) the chain doesnt seem to be catching the chain ring to go into gear. This I think is because of the bend....anyway it can be bent back?
You can try and bend it back but it'll be a nightmare to get it perfect again
could try to, but then this could put stress on the bend and snap something. just undo the screw on the mech half a turn for the chain then to sit on the 9th gear
