Bike destroyers tell your story here...

I managed to screw my STI lever when trying to shit between my front double. Chain got lodged yet i stubbornly continued trying to shift, something gave in the lever, now gear shifting doesn't work with it. I went for months without the use of the small chainring, i like to think my legs are now huge but i doubt it.....

I rode for about 15 years in the big ring on my old Apollo.. the BB or cranks were bent so in the small ring it would either grind or drop the chain.
