[#6835117]

Was packing up my bike for travel last night, and went to remove the rear derailleur - a Shimano XT. Accidentally undid the bolt [i]next[/i] to the one that attaches to the mech hanger - and a thin little perforated shim on the spoke side of the bolt dropped out.

Of the many things I don;t know, here are the top three:

a) what it is
b) how to put it back
c) how significantly it might alter the performance of the mech

Feel free to wrap any advice in withering derision.

Thanks

Im assuming its the circlip in part 1 and did the same in a rush to get the mech off. Just popped it back on, using a flat screwdriver to push it in place

Edit. In that case ignore me
