And yet, 1x7s and 1x9s are known to throw the chain. Some bikes do it so often owners have claimed their bikes are possessed by evil spirits. Here, for example http://www.foldsoc.co.uk/mchaink.html is an article about a chain keeper devised to prevent AM-7 and AM-8 Alex Moulton bicycles from thowing chains. Trust me, if it didn't happen nobody would bother with devising such things! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
