Went out this morning, on my Surly stream roller, loving the ride, I cycle to Newbury from Abingdon, and on the way back, flying along the downs, I was going for it , just got to top speed, 30mph and my cadence just over 155, my chain wrapped itself around the the rear clog, locking up the rear wheel, I managed to hold upright, but, then I went down like a sack of spuds, , what fun,! after getting up feeling very silly, I checked out the bike,the chain was stuck ,Well I managed, to get chain out of the back wheel but with one broken spoke and well buckled, otherwise it was ok, managed to carry on.
I was very lucky, but I wish I checked that chain tension, not doing it has cost me , a new chain, lbs to replace spoke and straightened out the wheel, new leggings, new over shoes, and a new top.
Amway kept it fixed.
