Hello all, I am new to these forums, this is my first post....any help would be appreciated.
I have just gotten a nice Cannondale Bicycle after many years of not biking at all, and have been putting some good mielage on the bike.
3 weeks ago I found out the hard way why not to keep the chain on the 2 smallest......upod shifting I bent the chain to the point where it kept skipping and popping off. I brought it back to my Bike store and they replaced the chain and adjusted the gears for me, and everything rode fine. At this point I mainly keep the front gear in the middle and shift with the rear.
So today, I am on a middle gear riding up a steep hill and decide to move the front gear to the small one and once again the chain pops off......is there something I can do to avoid this problem from persistently occuring? Thanks in advance for any help.
