A bridge too far for 1x with X5
I was setting up a budget 1x system and screwing down this B screw to clear a 42T when it wandered off the stop. The side force bent the boss in the knuckle, and removing it with the side load boogered up the hanger threads too. When I tried to bend it back it snapped. Replacement hanger and NX RD now on order. It stings throwing out new stuff.

Throw that thing my way. It still has useful parts for the next screw up. Andy
