Have you checked your front derailleur limit screws, or maybe recently bent something (if it's only just started to happen?) Take a look at the following:
http://www.cyclingnews.com/tech/fix/?id=frontmech If I remember correctly, it's always a good idea to make sure your rear derailleur is set up right before messing with the front one .. that's detailed here http://www.cyclingnews.com/tech/fix/?id=rearmechadjust

i just noticed it recently .. the problem with it is not so much as in front pedalling but if i were to back pedal the chain is bound to drop off or to the inner chainring...

Is there some non-bizarre reason to use the large chainring in 1st gear?

The angle of the chain will cause everything to wear out faster, its also not as efficent. cheers |
