So today my broken rear mech came in the post
Here you cab see that the jockey wheels are pointing up (the wrong way) and part of the cage is completely broken (torn off), you also cant see that 2 of the teeth on one jockey wheel have ripped off. what made the up pointing derailleur worse was that the spring sprung the wrong way, instead of pulling the wheels down and back they would pull up and forward as in picture.
As you can see in the title i managed to partially fix it, i didn't weld or sellotape the ripped of part back on and together. Instead i used some parts of old mtb rear mechs. Took an old jockey wheel of a shimano alvio mech and the (long) cage of a shimano deore.
And LOOK AT IT NOW!
(yes, i know the chains a bit small)
All fixed (i hope), i haven't tightened the gear cable and tested the gears yet, I'm not sure if it will work or not but I'll be so happy if it works perfectly.
