Shirt fell from my bag into the wheel, got trapped between the sprocket and the chain, and by the time I stopped the chain was out of the sprocket. The wheel did not move, so basically the chain got stretched quite a bit.
Other than the chain now being quite loose, it seems like the rest is fine. How evenly it stretched or whether it got twisted at some point, I have no idea. What should I do? move the wheel back and keep riding? Replace the chain (it's fairly new)?
What happens when the wheel is all the way near the end of the dropouts so you can't tense the chain further?
Any advice appreciated.
