Has someone managed to do a roadside 11 speed chain and cassette singlespeed conversion? Or is everything to close with 11 speed?

Yesterday my derailleur wrapped itself around the cassette. Might be because I was to lazy to really check chain length, might be that one of the pulley wheels broke. 11 Speed 5800 with 11-32 cassette.

I tried to single speed it on two different cogs, but the chain kept shifting. So I walked to the next train station.

What do you mean?
Single speed conversion.
Did you just ride in one gear or break, re route and shorten the chain?
Not sure why it would move between sprockets unless rhe mech was still part of the chain

Hanger broke off, so no more derailleur. Shortened the chain and choose what I thought was the cog that gave the straightest chainline.
I know that works on 8 speed, but I am not sure it could work with 11 as the cogs are so close and the chain just hits the ramps and climbs/shifts.
