The cage looks twisted outboard, is this some new technology or is my derailleur just bent? It shifts to every gear but doesn’t seem to shift well under load. Pics are taken in the small chainring.
no, it’s not supposed to be bent like this. It looks like the cage is bent near the top, close to the upper pulley wheel, whereas it is supposed to be bent a bit near the lower jockey wheel, end definitely not this much.
