Bent Instigator
Was wrong, wasn't the mech that was causing the bad shifts, but the frame itself. Hard to imagine how any trail stack could bend one of those Surly drop-out plates, however, the mech side is bent 8mm in. Throws out the wheel alignment somewhat. Brake side has a kink in the frame too. R.I.P. Instigator frame #1. Hope Rösch can turbo-order frame #2. Shit happens(usually to me).
