So who has one of these? Is there a better, more active page for this model? I'm really curious to see how these are in the real world.
The thing is that when I try to shift up(while pedaling) the chain gets pinched and it blocks the movement of the pedals.

Answering my self here., I got it right on the second attempt/order of a directmount hanger, so this is a buying tip for those of you with compatible RD:s and an interest going the directmount route.
I orderd https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005946829585.html?gps-id=pcStoreJustForYou&scm=1007.23125.137358.0&scm_id=1007.23125.137358.0&scm-url=1007.23125.137358.0&pvid=4f84ad9f-55e6-41d2-92bd-72a29fbd4629&_t=gps-id:pcStoreJustForYou,scm-url:1007.23125.137358.0,pvid:4f84ad9f-55e6-41d2-92bd-72a29fbd4629,tpp_buckets:668%232846%238110%231995&pdp_npi=4%40dis%21SEK%21472.80%2189.80%21%21%2144.49%218.45%21%402101e58b17085265557644453e9815%2112000034975814437%21rec%21SE%21173424834%21&spm=a2g0o.store_pc_home.smartJustForYou_2004123779662.1005005946829585
You'll probably have to copy the link text and paste into your browser to get to the product, this bord does things with pasted links.

- Those are trim positions to prevent chain rub on the front derailleur when in crosschained gear combos. See https://www.youtube. com/watch?v=CR8jyNgoS0U for a good little visualization (remove the space in the URL - youtube links are really weird on this forum.)
- The chain getting stuck between the front derailleur and the chainring is how shifts happen - the chain is forced into the big chainring which picks it up and deposits it onto the teeth. Of course, this only happens when pedaling - nothing will happen if the crank isn't rotating.
