Pretty worried
Both the derailleur and derailleur hanger broke and got caught in the wheel. It happened at very low speed in a parking lot. Of course, I stopped immediately to inspect.
What worries me: the paint was visibly chipped around the axle insert due to contact with the bent derailleur. I’ve since applied touch-up paint. It looks cosmetic and I’ve seen the paint react similarly to other small chips but I can’t stop overthinking it.
Any insights would be appreciated. How likely is it that the chainstay is structurally compromised?
