I adjusted the indexing cable to wrong direction, ended up getting the derailleur stuck in the wheel and bent off. I am a moron, I know.
Now, I obviously need to replace the derailleur hanger, how about the chain and can you see any damage on the rest of the derailleur? The pulleys spin just fine, cable seems fine. Is there any specific damage I should look for?
Other than straighting the derailleur arms back again and checking the derailleur hanger alignment just in case I think it's fine, those non-gazillion-sprocket derailleurs from back in the day are quite sturdy. We all do stupid things voluntarily or not so don't be worried
