Alivio derailleur adjustment

Hanger was a lot harder to bend than I expected

 

If that sorted it, you will need a new hanger at some point, it was so hard to bend for a reason, you've now weakened the molecular structure by bending it, and it's gonna go at some point. Hangers aren't that expensive though - but get it replaced before you do a 20km bush run with mtb on your back. I have done that, is no fun, I promise

Why not just push the bike back?

 

Secondly get two new hangers, one to keep with her tools that she rides with and the other as a spare at home.

Too slow, not enough of a workout

Fancied getting myself one of these but it costs too much for something I will use rarely

Anyone know of a cheaper brand that won't break the bank?

Thats a pretty interesting tool, I wonder what the mechanics have to say about it.
