It's not /too/ bad if you can undo it without having
to resort to using tools. Either way, it gets your
hands grubby.

And it always seems to happen at the worst spot to
lose the hill that caused ya to shift to the granny,
which is generally when chain suck happens.

If it's pouring rain, chances of being inflicted
with chain suck seem to be increased umpteen-fold.

If anything sucks, it's bent granny rings.


cheers,
Tom


How can I possibly ride a bike and not know what the hell chain suck
is? It happens when you shift granny so it must not be pleasant. I
think I should google this.

Chain suck occurs when the teeth of the sprocket refuse to release the
chain drawing it up and over. OK...I know as much about chain suck as I
did before. I need to just keep riding my bike and stop thinking about
all this stuff. I'm taking my designer purse and leaving this
newsgroup. And don't tell me not to let the door slam me in the ass as
I go. I can read your minds by now. But you know I will be back
eventually. I am a pain in the ass you know. But a cute one. ;-) Even
at my old age. ;-) BYE!!!!!!!!

Why are you referring to a non-existant topic?

Does not look like it... it sounds more like a intelligent discussion at the
White House just before the Iraq war... ;-)


LOL...

Allow me to add my .02$ on Maggie's behalf:

Chain suck SUCKS...because:

-Broken Chains
-Bent Sprockets (particularily Granny Gears)
-Broken or Chipped Sprocket Teeth.
-Chewed-up Rear Derailleurs

and occaisionally,

-Broken Spokes

I've had all the above occur (except the broken spokes), and been thrown
from the bike on one really BAD one...(crest of a hill).
