What’s the frame? Is it possible that the “mech hanger” is simply out of alignment and is too far from the centreline of the bike?
I’m pretty sure that’s exactly the problem (the hanger is 8mm wide out from the 142mm face rather than the 135mm face where , by rights, it ought to be) but speaking to the builder it’s the same design of dropout he’s been using since he started and he’s only had a few have this issue so I’m wondering if it’s specific to my transmission choice/vintage and trying to figure out what the lowest impact way of fixing it is. He has now fixed it for ongoing production and I like him so I’m not going to name him to save any embarrassment.

of an alternative Goat link type thing being fitted to an SLX equiped bike suggests that there’s a narrower link piece and washer that if compatible would solve the problem by simply switching the washer to the other side. Does anyone have a dead DM Mech with one of these I could buy and try?
