Sylvan Island 4:30 or so and a little help?

Thanks Gunchinator. Unfortunately, they didn't give credit at my school for Bike Mechanic 101. I guess it wasn't that kind of school. I've been trying to get the chain to the highest (biggest) cog but can't get the derailleur to go there no matter how much I adjust the set screw. That's my #1 problem and the rest of the stuff won't work 'til I get it there. I'm running a 1 x 9 which should simplify the adjustments. I just need to get that B to slip up there and I think I'm money. This thread should prob be in "Equipment" but oh well. Good to be here, too, I guess as I will be riding my bike for the 1st time today come hell or high water. I will definitely refer back to your tutelage once I get Step 1 figured out.

Could be a bent derailleur hanger. So the chain is long enough, it just won't move over, right?
