Getting a bend in your front chain ring from riding over rocks, logs, etc. Is this just part of mountain biking or am I doing something very wrong? I've done this a couple of times this season and had to "adjust" the chain ring with a wrench.
I wheelie up to an obstacle (lets say a large metal hydration pipe as was the case this weekend) but when the back wheel hits the obstacle the front wheel drops down and there's no clearence for the chainring. If it were flat terrain or downhill I could probably hop over it or at least get the chainring clear, but what do you do when you're climbing? Is it possible to bunny hop while climbing? If so, please tell me what planet you learned to ride on.
Any information would be helpful.
