Can't get my rear mech to shift into the largest cog. The barrel adjuster is unscrewed all the way out, bottom jockey wheel is about 2mm away from the spokes but it looks like the upper jockey wheel doesn't move across far enough. I can force it across by hand by pushing the mech and it'll stay on the right cog but it won't shift there using the shifter.
What's wrong: bent mech hangar, dodgy rear mech or something else I'm missing? groupset is a mix of 8-speed veloce/mirage with a 9-speed rear mech fwiw.
