Took my new bike out for the first real ride today. It happened while I was climbing a pretty steep hill. I shifted to 53x26. After a few pedal strokes, I got out of the saddle. Then the chain felt like it skipped, or jumped. It didn't go out of gear. When it skipped, there was no longer any tension, so I spun out. This caused me to lose balance, and since I was going slow, I tipped the bike over and crashed. What would cause this? My first assumption was being in 53x26, the chain was at a weird angle, so when I got out of the saddle and put power on the pedal, it skipped. Does that make sense? Anything else?
