Was cycling up a short but steep hill today. Went to click down a gear. All of
a sudden no forward momentum of bike, but a blur of whizzing pedals. Chain had
come off. Cue frantic, wimpy girlie wails as I realise my predicament as the
bike stalls and I try to unclip foot from pedal doing what feels like 180rpm...

Luckily I managed to retain a small amount of dignity, unclip and sto properly
without falling off and being a total lemon :-)

Cheers, helen s

Just the opposite for me today!

I had my chain slip off and bind up and wind around the inside of the inside
chain ring, and could not move the pedals in any direction.

I too fortunately was able to unclip and come to, what some might call, a
graceful stop!

Yanked the wound chain out of the double winding, put the derailleur to the big
ring position, turned the pedal a few times and it caught the teeth, and I was
on my way.

Strange - never happened before!

Hi, I just recently had this happen, but I didn't unclip and had an
Arte Johnson moment. This was on my DA triple, I had the same problem
on a Sora double. In both cases I installed a N-Gear Jump Stop. Why
take a chance, when the solution is simple.
I emailed Nick on a Sunday and I received the Jump Stop on Wednesday.
He will send you one with a stamped return envelope to send your $10
payment. A good product, fair price, and great service. Here is
N-Gear's website:
