Chainsuck - where did it go?

[brocklanders023]

Poor design would be my guess as certain frames were very prone to it. These days with narrow/wide rings and clutch mechs it really shouldn’t be a problem.

Almost every day we put novice cyclists on £500 hybrids, tourney chainset& mech/ezfire front shifting, and away they go, no problem

And off they go up the road to the thrrrrrrp-thrrrrrrp-thrrrrrrp sound of the front mech scraping the chain.

It can still happen in the right (wrong) circumstances unfortunately.
This was down to the thick claggy clay based mud round here. Was a bit annoying but shit happens. Thankfully just the paint.
