Agree, didn't realise the chain had to be quite so taut, assuming this caused it to lock. Was going too fast around a corner with terrible surfacing and very pumped tyres too; all in all not the best idea. Helmet saved hospital trip. For now.
My crap bike I was using in the meantime got its tyre slashed from the bike locks at the back of Clapham Junction, left from about 11AM-9PM. So er suggest avoiding these, unless it's just me... So if anyone happens to be selling 2nd hand tyre to suit Specialized Crossroads, would be cool.
