pushed the limits of the rear mech limit screws a touch
I ordered one of these problem solvers for another project. It says when fitted you may lose your last one (or two) sprockets due to the RD being offset. The offset should be 6mm (the thickness of the added hanger piece), but is the min/max allowance of the RD limits screws usually big enough to make up for this?

This is a really funny coincidence, I just had an identical frame (except in blue) with exactly the same issue come into the shop i work at.
In the end i cut off the old hanger completely as it was totally mangled,then i used one of these

It worked fine, pushed the limits of the rear mech limit screws a touch, but was all good
