After getting up to about 55km/hr down hill in my biggest gear I decide to keep the momentum up when it flattens out and starts to go slightly uphill so get out of the saddle, had noticed before that the chain was rubbing on the front mech slightly but didn't think it would be a problem, wrong, chain came off, suddenly i'm trying to peddle air, massive wobble from the handlebars and brown trousers time. Need to sort my gears I think!
