I mean, how does a pothole cause your RD to go into your spokes on a correctly setup bike?

Rear hanger bent in transit but not noticed on arrival, due to excitement of upcoming event? Happens to the best of us * cough *
Saying that it wouldn't be pothole related.

I've dragged an RD into a rear wheel but that was because the wheel was new to the bike so the limits were just a bit off and when it snagged I was already angry so just slammed the pedals causing total destruction. Normally you'd hear something was off (benefit of not using headphones) and avoid the 1000W death pedal.

Yes, on the way back from Brighton last year, went into bottom gear for devils dyke and heard the twanging. Immediate stop pedaling and dismount. Then remembered niece had knocked my bike over a few days before = bent hanger
