Was 5.5 miles in to my ride when this happened. Really hoping warranty covers it since it's only 2 months old. 🤦♂️🤦♂️😬😬

How did it bend?
this really only happens when the hanger is bent which is caused from dropping the bike on the derailleur.
sometimes it comes bent from shipping but the store should be able to fix it before it’s on the floor
I ride a lot (up to 5,000 miles a year) and I’ve had that happen twice. In both cases it was my error: pedalling too hard while shifting.

Bent hanger or rear derailleur not adjusted properly….
That’s a bent hanger. Won’t be too much to fix but you’re probably not getting that covered by the warranty.
Really only a couple ways to do that, dropping the bike, crashing the bike, or shifting while putting a ton of force on the pedal.
