On the smallest stick going about 2 inches long got sucked along the chain

Bugger. Some people carry a spare hanger in their pack for that reason..

thats what they are supposed to do - think your self lucky you don't have any MTB's with brazed on hangars. I just carry a chain splitter to shorten the chain- luckily I have only ever had it happen once.

like this bromich MTB

Or a cable tie to prevent a 3 mile walk home ?

i had cable ties they didn't help .. had a chain tool but no pins or spare link

Annoying, but it's doing its job, way cheaper than a new rear end. Cheap and light enough to carry a spare with, especially if you're riding in that sort of place

I've cable tied the mech to the frame hanger hole and used to in fixie mode to cruise home before.

i have a bolt through axle and the derailleur was badly bent like 2 hrs straightening bent and i'm not sure if that will even work. To Be Continued.........
