So my roadie just bucked me off and luckily I had just turned a corner so was going slow. This morning the chain kept slipping from the top to the middle ring (triple) if I hit rough road. Each time I had to get off and reseat it (I failed at fron derailluer adjustment class) due to rubbing.
Anyway it's been unable to change for ages but it's never kept bumping off. When it was in the middle it would slip if I put any power down but never go onto the granny too.
Now my big ring is bent to fuck and rubs the front derailluer at certain o'clocks.
Can I just buy another 52 with same bcd or is there something else at play?
I don't want the fucking thing but cannot afford another so spending money is one of those neccessary evils.
I'd rather have snapped up the Harry in classifieds than spend money on this a part out the rest.
