Used a few of those mike  :D infact i lost one of the bearing washers on my rear derailleur jokey wheels about 3 months ago and its still bodged  :D worst one i had to do to get home was bend the forks on one of my racing bikes in the early 90's , while out training in the ice xmas morning (yes i was obsessed)  :D i came off and bent the forks, i used a gutter to bend them back, plus bent the ali derailleur hanger so had to use a small adjustable spanner to bend it back, the bike was a vitus 979 , worked fine after but i replaced the forks later on ,

I think one of the beauties of bicycles is that they respond so well to fudges and fixes :)

yeah as i said on another post you can bend stays out etc but not too often  :D ive had some pics from the 90's and then upgraded the gearing so had to fit wider axles, im more careful on ali frames though , metal fatigue is worse than steel,
