It was the hanger, sorry for the delay.

I really need to get my own alignment tool. I hate having shops work on my bikes.

The twitching was the chain pins catching on the cage, fwiw.

No issues now that it's been fixed. I'm about to make a big tools order on Amazon since I don't have a campy cassette/BB tool and chain cleaner either.

I bought a NEW UNIOR DERAILLEUR ALIGNMENT TOOL for under $40.00 and it was awful, sloppy tolerances in the slider/gauge, not accurate.
Returned it and got the Park DAG-1, way better!

Amen! The machining tolerances on the HAG are incredible. You could literally spend three hours and get that hanger PERFECT.

Takes less than 5 minutes once the RD is off the hanger.

We will have 3 more at Sea Otter latter this month. I'm also keeping a list of interested people should we make them again.

To follow up:

In order to allow my wife to ride her bike on the trainer, I "eyeballed" a quick straighten using a Allen key in the RD bolt hole. Worked like a charm and I didn't go too far. It eliminated the chain jumping off the lower pulley.

Then the shop straightened the hanger.

I saw one instance of the chain jumping off the pulley during a ride afterwards.

Then I got the tool and checked it, it was out front to back. I called the shop, a little hot blooded but they told me that the stock hangers for Cervelo and others are so soft that they just go out of alignment and that I should replace with a Wheels Mfg one (which I had already ordered as a spare). I straightened it with my tool. The Wheels Mfg hanger is still in the tool box.

She has since ridden a bunch and won a race on the bike without issue.

I should check it again this week. Has anyone ever heard of hangers just going out of alignment? I certainly haven't.

Also, I used to clean chains with a rag, then re-lube. Now that I have the park chain washer (kick-ass BTW) I run it through a few times but it still has the degreaser on it after lots of wiping down. Puddles in a race on Saturday. Yesterday I rinsed it with water afterwards and it was sparkly. I then applied lube and wiped down after 15 mins and some pedaling. Also cleaned cassettes, pulleys, and chainrings. We rode after and the chains were pretty loud (they're only a few hundred miles old). I haven't had a chance to as much as look at one of the race bikes since then. Did I just need to apply more lube than normal because they were totally de-greased?

So you're one of those customers. Rad.

Yes, some hangers are made from 6061B, B for butter and bend if you look at them the wrong way.

Those Cervelos had weird issues. Multiple customers who own those french canadian turds have had the same issue when switching to 11 speed from 10.
