Hey guys, I've just bought a CX bike for commuting and a bit of fun, an upgrade from a 10yr old cheap MTB.
When having my first little ride around (just doing loops around the neighborhood to get used to the new style of bike) I noticed that often when I try to change from the small front gear-thing (sorry, I'll pick up the lingo eventually!) to the big one (my gears are 2x8 speed) the chain falls off back onto the small one.
I believe this is probably to do with choosing the wrong combination of gears and putting the chain under to much pressure or something, but could anyone enlighten me and suggest how I can change gears better to prevent this from happening?
