Not being careful

[OakLeaf]

Definitely check and make sure nothing is bent after your fall, but most likely it happened to begin with because of a maladjusted low limit screw.

What kind of RD do you have? It's a simple adjustment.

Glad you're okay anyway!

Ill take a look tomorrow to see what I have. I'll see if I can find a place to bring the bike for a look.

I found a local bike shop. The wheel was out of true, they fixed that. They adjusted the low limit screw--good catch OakLeaf. Now it is rolling and shifting nicely. They also adjusted my brakes.

No charge.

Great folks that let me ride in and they stopped what the were doing to fix my bike.

Wow!! It didn't bend the rear drop out and it didn't tweak the rear derailleur pentagram

You are very lucky!! I sucked up the derailleur into the rear wheel while on a training ride out in eastern sierra between mono lake and mammoth mountain. Ended up pretzeling the rear derailleur pentagram, bent the rear drop out. It was not a fun ride back to mammoth mountain...

If you have to lay down your bike, whether out on a ride or to put it inside a car, ALWAYS lay the bike with the derailleur side up!! and NEVER stack another bike on top even if you have a thick blanket to keep the bikes from scratching each other.

I think I was lucky to not wreck the derailleur. Guess because I was going so slow. Yup, I put it in the car derailleur side up.
