Oops. Very odd. Was some odd noises coming from the rear mech today, fiddled with the barrel adjusters while riding, then pulled away from some lights in mid block, 10 metres later something exploded, snapping chain in process.
Anyone explain? Chain snapped causing it to wrap around the mech? I know the most likely explanation is the limit screw and shifting into the spokes but I've put weeks of riding into it since I last adjusted the limits...
Mech hanger looks ok and the spokes have lost some ano.
