I figured the medium was right because it was rated for 34T, but i thought i'd check with those who knew more. Thanks specialized for providing an accurate spec of your very expensive bikes... 🤦 | |

The jockey wheels do wear out, so in the unlikely case that the OP actually killed the RD, he at least has a pair of jockey wheels with not too many miles. Also, as emphasized more in the other answer, it actually is more likely that the derailer hangar is bent, and the actual derailer is just scraped. | |
