Chain came off, no damage that i can see..

[Mike_420]

Normally id check the chain before going out riding, but today i had forgot,

I was just making my way back to the car on my bike when i could hear the chain rattling and knew id have to tighten it up soon,

but just as i was getting the bike to the car, the chain came off, i was in first gear and luckily just riding at walking pace,

I could see no damage to the chain or elsewhere it hadn't snapped just simply slipped off, i presume ive done no damage ? i got it back on and pushed it back to the car

its a standard stomp chain, i now know to tension the chain up before each use!

is it quite common to re-tension the chain up after say 2 hours riding ?

[Tappety Tom]

Yes as its still stretching

Just check it never slapped into your spokes

It will need adjusting every two hours riding for the rest of its life with the stomp chain, if you find it annoying id reccomend buying a renthal

I usually go over the bike before riding anyway, lubing the chain up etc so its not a big deal having to do it,

ive probably only had around 8 hours of riding on it from new so im guessing that will play a part in it too ?

as i say i was riding at walking pace and noticed it slip off right away, didnt hear any banging etc, everything looks fine,

another day, another lesson learnt !
