[font=Arial]I'm not very good on tech stuff so I hope someone can help me out. I've been having problems with my chain falling off on both inside my chainring/frame and between sprocket and spokes. I recently almost lost it going down a hill 33mph, the rear locked up and of course I lost a brand new tire in the process. I have a Campy Chorus RD long cage & a triple Centaur in front w/Record triple chainring.[/font]
[font=Arial]I don't know whether it's the components, adjustments or chain length. I figured it be best to start with the simplist of the three, CHAIN LENGTH - how do I measure? After that I become lost, HELP! :eek:[/font]
I'd say it's adjustments. Perhaps the high & low level screws are set wrong. Park Tool should be able to help you with this, or your friendly neighborhood LBS mechanic could get you sorted out in just a few minutes. Good luck!

I think the problem is probably with derailleur adjustment in the front and rear derailleurs. See the parktool repair site for assistance.
Even though it is probably not the chain length, you asked so see this page:
Thanks so much for the input guys; I have no problem riding, but I'm not that great at fixing bikes, but I'm gonna give it a shot and if I can't get it, I'll ask my husband, or take it to a bike shop.
