I finally figured out why my chain kept dropping on the big ring

Last week after three rides in a row with the chain falling off, I took a closer look at my derailleur setup. In my experience, 90% of drivetrain issues happen because of cable tension or limit screws. I had my H limit screw backed out too far, letting the derailleur push past the big ring. Any of you found a sneaky cause for chain drops that took you way too long to spot?

Picked up a bent hanger once that was so subtle I almost missed it (maybe 2mm out of true). Took me way too long to realize a tiny crash I'd forgotten about was the real culprit, not the limit screws at all.

@norag66 dude ive been there. that tiny misalignment drives you nuts chasing ghosts in the derailleur.
