Well, early Saturday I went on a group ride that started and ended at the LBS; left the RD on the 4th cog, chattering away back there, and did the whole ride in 4th/inner and 4th/outer, and kept up (I usually ride alone, so it felt a bit strange). After the ride, the LBS was open for business, and they adjusted the hanger but I have not tested the results yet but it
looks right.

This would have been tempting! Only, however, with a "sacrificial" derailleur; otherwise, with my luck, I'd bend the Nuovo Record, and that's unacceptable.
