Chain or Gear issue

mattyg2004

hiya folks.

At grizedale last weekend and flying down some singletrack and my chain kept jumping off the granny ring. It did it twice so popped onto middle ring and all fine. Does that sound like adjustment??

I should also add it did it once at the rear (didn't half make a noise on my brand new spokes)

Just jumping around. Either don't fly down stuff in such a low gear or get a tensioner.

I kinda expected that. Its just never done it before. But then I've probably never been in such low gears before.
Do tensioner's work with 3 chainrings

Downhill and being in the granny gear is just wrong......

Nope, rider issue.

Ok guys point taken

What is it they say about bad workmen and their tools

I'll keep an eye on what gear I'm in. That'll also stop me from dropping my reverb instead of changing gear
