Hello everyone
Just wanted a bit of advice please.
On my way home from work bit tired stupidly changed to the front top chain ring whilst at a stop and then when pushing away too hard heard a big clump...not good. I could at this point hear a strange loud zipping noise where the chain was going round on the front ring, got further down the road and the pedals jammed, I quickly unclipped and stopped turned the bike upside down and can only describe the mess as the chain trying to fold in half. I had a strugle to pull it back through the front mech and back on the ring, the rear derailure needed bending back slightly also where the chain must of pulled it out of shape.
Any way got home and saw a small but deep chip on the bottom part of the frame going to the cassette where the chain must of hit as it sort of come off, its about 0.5mm deep should I be worried about this chip !!??, I dont want it getting weak and eventually failing it is only small and the misses looked and laughed but I wanted to check. Bike is a bad boy 700
Thanks
