Possibly dumb question: have you taken a good look at your chain? It ay be

Andre attempted to make some further adjustments, the chain still skips. I
tried installing a Deore XT M771 and that was a little bit better but the
chain still skips.
I called Riv and talked to Grant who was eager to see some pictures. Will

Patrick: Sorry about that Fargo but glad to hear it could be repaired.
Replaceable hangers seem helpful!

FWIW, I had a similar experience with a Fargo when a stick jammed the rd:
the hangar was bent 90* inward (and jammed into the cassette; no
single-speeding home). The good news, and the point: a LBS was able to
unbend the rd to usable status again. The replacement rd worked fine. Of
course, YMMV.
Many thanks, John. I'll check out the spokes.
I've been texting with my local mechanic friend, Andre. We're going to try
and bend the hanger and see how close we can get it. Considering a drop out
saver from Wheels Mfg.
If that fails I'll see about having a new dropout installed. I gotta
Wow Eric, that was a bad one, glad your ok and the Sam is on the mend.
Don't forget to check the spokes for nicks, could break easy if they are.

Thanks Brian and Danny!
I got the mech freed. The parallelogram housing is twisted, too. The limit
screws aren't in plane, they're twisted! It's a huge mess. Still have many
good screws, bolts and springs worth saving. Jockey wheels, too. I'll leave
it as-is and pull parts from it as needed.
Sorry about the hanger damage, but good to hear that you're ok. Even in its
pretzelized state, it's a good looking derailer sculpture!

The damage is waaay out of proportion to the fall.

Wow... the most important thing is that you're fine, Eric. The bike stuff
is "just" bike stuff, repairable or replaceable.
I saw your subject line and glanced at the pic before reading your story,
and at first I thought, "dang, did he get that thing to actually work?!?"

Jared: Thanks! I'll share again when I have some updates.

Glad you're okay and it's now another part of that Sam's history.
Looking forward to seeing your repair updates.

Wow, I’m glad to hear that it was only a minor tumble, but I’m sorry to
hear about the derailler… again. That’s quite the pretzel you’ve made,
though! I’m not sure I’ve seen such, save for deraillers that went through
a far more severe crash.
I might be crazy, but restoring a busted up mech like
