So I get to BC for the early morning ride. I go about 50 yards into the trail and my chain pops. I get out the chain tool to take out the busted link, refasten the chain and try to put my wheel back on only to find out that I threaded the chain improperly through the rear deraileur.
Out comes the chain tool again, off comes a link and proper threading of the chain through rear, on goes tire spin pedals....Damn!! I forgot to put the chain through the front deraileur. :madmax:
Out comes the chain tool, off comes the chain, on goes the chain threaded properly in both places. Finally...half an hour later...I'm on my way....Look OUT!! TURTLE! :yikes:
Yep, I lock up the front brake on the next turn so I don't run over the little guy, but now I am laying on my back...like a turtle. Brush myself off, check the bike (specially the chain) and move the little guy to the side. :thumbsup:
What a way to start a Saturday morning ride...should've stayed in bed!
