Take the chain & look from the back of the bike & see if the pulleys line up. If they don't, you can bend it with your hand back in place. If it's really bad crescent wrench/pliers can be used.

After that take the rear derailleur hanger off lay it on flat ground see if it bent, if bent take a hammer & flat it out, flip it over & repeat. If bent get a new one, but the ghetto way will work.

Also take photos in Macro mode & we might be able to see more clearly, what might be bent.

If all else fails for you, I've got an old XTR rear derailleur you could have for $40.

the fucking awesome guys a Zumwalts figured it out... bent derailleur hanger, tweaked cage and and worn out jockey wheel. They kind of all combined into a perfect storm of fail.

Thanks for all the help guys.
