Hey all,
2 months old bike (see sig). Today out on the trails the chain fell off. Checking into why it turned out the front chainring was wobbling - and I mean really wobbling. You can hold it in your hand and wobble it by over a centimetre sideways movement. As soon as I put the bike into a gear which pulled the chain at all sideways the chain just fell off the chainring. I had to cycle home in 2nd gear to keep the chain attached.
It seems like a serious issue. Is it? Anything I should look at or is this just as case of taking the bike into the LBS?
Attached is a .MOV file recorded from my iPhone to show how bad it is (zipped up as the forum does not allow .MOVs to be attached)
Thanks!
