Given that it was well used, could well have been just
overall wear.  You set the low gear limit back when it was
less worn, but now all the pins and pivots are sloppy. Only
takes a couple of millimeters more travel to go from normal
clearance to engaged on a spoke.

Thanks for that expert opinion. Makes me feel good about having
changed out my old derailleur at just under 35,800 miles.

Mine had quite definite signs of wear, though nothing was
loose.

I didn't see any wear on it other than the jokey sprockets.

That was the first 13 years worth on the Catrike. Now I'm at 40,000.

I suspect that 40,000 miles is not that unusual for the RBT crowd.
Hardcare riders, they seem to be.
