Hey guys,
I had some crashes lately and I think I might screwed my drauilleur. I tried to set it up unsuccessfully. A guy at the bike shop tried the same and told me it's screwed.
To me it looks a little bent. So far I didn't try to bent it back "into place". Before I try this I wanted to hear your opinions.
Ride on
Sorry for the bad pictures (mobile), I hope the problem was well visualized 😅

Looks like it’s entirely the hanger that is the problem imo not the derailleur. The hanger actually looked likes it already semi failed.
Looks like derailleur hanger is quite badly bent. A fresh one should fix your issues. Find the right one for your bike here: https://wheelsmfg.com/derailleur-hangers/manufacturers.html
Some shops will say screwed and tell you to get a new one. Some shops have tools and skills to fix pretty easily.
You can try bending it back but it might just snap off. Put an allen key in the bolt and slowly bend it back till it’s straight again.
I would still order a new hanger and use the old as a spare.
