Here's a new one: yesterday during a particularly wet & muddy MTB ride I managed to get a full link
of my chain wedged between the granny and middle chainrings. It was so far stuck that I had to
remove the rings to get the chain out. Any ideas how/why? Perhaps the MTB gods were simply not
smiling on me and whacked me with a one-in-a-million-shifts glitch? I've been riding a long time and
never had that happen; I'd prefer to keep riding and never have it happen again, so if anyone has
suggestions I'd love to hear them.
BTW it's a Shimano 9-speed XT drivetrain, with a Sram 9-speed chain. Nothing is worn either - the
bike has fewer than 500 miles.
