The above was exhilarating but not something I want to experience again.
I'd let my chain get a little bit slack but I didn't think it was that bad at the time. The chain line looks good to my eye but what I'm wondering is does the direction a chain comes off the sprocket tell you anything about the chainline? ie if it comes off to the right (away from the wheel) you might benefit from a spacer at the back?
