this past week my Vision R40 LWB USS took a small detour off road and hit a
fairly large dip. I went airborne, but did not crash and just kept
pedaling. I noticed a strange noise coming from the chain near the rear of
the bike after this bump.
Today, I finally figured out the source of the noise. The chain is now
rubbing against the frame when I have the bike in low gear (large rear
sprocket).
I have looked at the frame and can't see where it is visibly bent, but I can
only assume that something changed to cause the rubbing. Has anyone ever
seen this before?
Any ideas as to how to determine if and where the frame bent?
Any way to straighten this if it is bent?
Thanks for your help. This has been a great bike and hate to retire it
early (I've had it for 2 months).
