This really helped me out! I changed my chain in spring and it started jumping off the large chaining often when changing gears. I tried adjusting the derailleur positions and limit screws, but it didn't help. It never came to mind that the chain was the issue. I put another chain and now the issue is solved!

Really good troubleshooting advise , didn’t even realize that every bit of fine tuning has a big effect on the functionality of the components. 👍

I appreciate your video and the clear explanation of the many possibilities that could cause chain drop. I have been having problems with chain drop on my city bike ever sense I bumped the front chain guard, and thanks to your video, I now have a few different ideas of what to check to fix it. Thanks for posting!

Really enjoyed this video - you are clearly very knowledgable about this and do a great job getting the info across!

Thank you! I have nearly given up on my '84 Miyata that has been my go-to for touring. In its (and my) old age, it has been dropping the chain regularly, and having just gotten back into cycling, I have foolishly kept pedalling or even backpedalled, jamming it between the front rings. I will more confidently try to adjust it again. Thanks!

Many thanks for the video. My problem was #1, and you told me how to fix it.

Thanks you so much, This video did help me to fix my chain drop issues, each time when i went downhill i had this hesitation while changing the gear or else it could slip and drop off majority of times, and then i had to go down road and try to adjust it all in together but now there's no such issue. - Happy rider indeed

that sound before the storm it always scares me the chain sound

Thanks for the video man! Super helpful

Very detailed and helpful! Thank you!

This problem is so annoying. Thanks for sharing what you know.

Fantastic. Super-detailed and informative !

Great knowledge my friend...music is not needed...its an extra layer that deminishes yr excellent content....fyi

Great video thank you

Very interesting and informative. Learnt a lot. Thank you.

Easy to setup. A little difficult to get used to using.

When I stop pedalling, my chain slacks then reattaches itself back on. What might be the problem? Please help guys

I did pedal backwards while cornering at high speed today, good thing my bike was not damaged. Thanks for the explanation!!

Only one thing you forgot to say how to adjust the cable tension of the front derailer. Otherwise very helpful as my bike's chain drops to the inside on the front sprockets kinda often. From what you said - could be a bit of user error and derailer some adjustment.

I'm using a 105 groupset with an extender for the RD to accommodate a 40t cassette, a bike I use for touring carrying 20Kg loads. The chain drops when I peddle backwards when going downhill while taking a bend. Something I need to remind myself when I'm on my touring bike. I didn't want to spend more money on a newer groupset that can accommodate a bigger cassette. That's the price I have to pay. Other than that it never happens. However I will try using an Ultegra or 105 chain to see if it might help. Currently using a KMC. I will see if it makes a difference.

I broke my ankle Because of chain drop,the chain dropped and my chain got caught on the rim and I lost balance and fell and trust me that was not fun

I experience chain drop when I am in a large-toothed cog on the cassette and I shift into the large chainring in the front. This would happen when I am cresting a hill and I don't shift into a smaller cog, but I do shift quickly back into the large chainring. I have stopped doing this... but is there a better solution?

Thanks a lot

You have quite the assortment of component brands on your road drivetrain. The Ultegra/Dura-Ace and Praxis chainrings are forged and higher quality than many CNc rings. Also the tolerance of higher end KMC, Shimano and Campy chains is better than SRAM. Personally I'd recommend staying with one brand of drivetrain.

I realised while adjusting my chainset (ultegra 6600) that it just doesn't let me have the full rear cassette if I adjust the limit screws So my problem is that often as I get up a nice climb I shift my front gear and my chain just goes flying off if I'm under the 5th gear in the back, so I adjusted front derailleur but that way I got noise whenever I shifted to the highest gear(I mean smallest back) from the chain touching the derailleur so I guess I'll just have to live with it and shift more consciously? I mean the chain always seems to touch either the largest or smallest gear with the ideal paired front gear, I suppose this crankset wasn't designed for the 13/30T cassette I have in the back for mountain reasons so I guess I'll just sacrifice my highest gear so he chain would stop falling off maybe

I have an Calypso Jazz bike by Trek my chain key coming off I can only ride in first gear it only has 6 gears. Can you help in very simple instructions. It would be greatly appreciated. Thank u

Chain drops in my case happens whenever i get on my ride and start to pedal. Are chain drops related to derailer alignment ?

How about when shifting down from the large chainring, the chain always lands in between the big CR and small CR., I need tips

You are a god send. Thanks for the help.

my front deraileur slams to lower gears and it requires a ton of force from shifter to shift down. I get a feeling that it can break something realy bad in the shifter

My chain comes off on the front to the inside, just peddling not changing gear. Please help.

Hello, when I change my left gear (the front ones) to 1 when climbing some elevation the chain drops any fix for that?

I need some help and was not able to find a decent answer. I run a 3x9 setup I recently ugpgraded to a 11-50t 9spd casette and a set of hubs but my rd is still an 8spd shimano tourney (was planning on buying a shimano alivio rd with it but my local bike shop was currently out of stock). The hubs and the casette works just fine. Problem is, when I freewheel or backpedal, my chain slacks and sometimes the lower chain pulls my rd forward. Also, when I release the pedal, it spins with the wheel. One friend told me that it might just be because of the new hub, either the grease was dry or is still so new that it needs some mileage to loosen it up a bit. Another told me that maybe my rd cant handle that casette or the hubs. I can still ride but it's kinda scary, might break some spokes. So until the shop stocks up, I'll be sticking with the problem. Any input on what makes this happen will be so appreciated. Help a beginner out. Thanks!

I have experienced chain drop on the front on 3 occasions. At the front it comes off between the small ring and the frame. Bianchi infinito. It’s difficult to free the chain it jams not much space between crank and frame. The chain drop only occurs when I double shift. I will try gentler shifting see if this solves it.

+1 on riding style, i experience strange chain drop where it drop to inner side when i shift from small ring to big ring. Everytime when it occur i was shifting 3 cog up on back end at the same time as shifting from small ring to big ring on the front. After this observation i shift it one by one, rear first then spin one round then front and this chain drop never happens again. ... Until i think that i still want to do both shifting at the same time for smooth cadence transition, so i bough a chain catcher and continue my bad habit without getting fear that my chain might drop ever again.

really helped

Really fantastic video

i have a a fat tire cobra modiefied with a spring to for suppsenion now so when i ride it it is very heavy to move and it has very hard presure on my feet when i move but it can go really fast when i try to race with my friend that has a racing bike and modified with a spring and gear changer he when i race with him and get in a really high speed my chain slips off and and i can't brake coz i have the brakes in the pedal (when i reverse the pedals it stops but when the chain slips i can't stop it so can u help me make it stop sliping i have went to so much people and say stop pressing hard on the pedals and ride slow and i live in iraq and not all streets are perfect coz most are unfinished streets like the just put stones and dirt that my street and when i try to go racong with my friends it always slips can u help they always leave me behine my friend has another bike like me and he can race and his chain doesn't slip like mine and i have to go fix the chain everytime for it coz i can't find the right tools for it !

thank you for the info

This is my first road kzfaq.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and I have taken it out a handful of times and so far it is exceeding all of my expectations. I didn’t want to break the bank on a first bike and the herd is a great option for getting a fast bike with reliable components. I plan on riding this bike for many years to come. Thank you Sava!

can you make a video about loose spokes, before every ride I check spoke tension and its fine but after I hit the road some spokes starts to rattle and unwind

I am have a rear chain drop issue on my 1x7 system and my limit screws are set perfectly. I leave the clutch on most of the time. any ideas?

I never get my chain stuck like so. My adjustments are always perfect for the top to bottom wall adjustment. However, it regularly happen that my chain while stuck/stick on the front lowest gear ratio because the tooths are too old compared to the oldness of my chain. It's a pain for the frame of the bike when it happen.

Put the diffrece is when I psych presure it pos an go's down an deralwr has the Chan ridding off the jockey wheels what u sujjest I do.

I am experiencing major chain drop the last two weeks with my 1X drive train XT and oval Rotor. My guess now is that 1. The wear of the chain is the cause. A very loose worn chain will cause sideways movement a lot more. 2. Worn teeth on both sprockets, front and rear, won’t do any good either. The proper fit on the system is gone. I think it’s rather soon (9 months of very intense riding but good maintenance) I’m installing a new set now and hope it solves the problem. It must do so, but it is rather soon that I have to in my opinion. Thanx!

I just changed my chain, cassette and chainrings and my chain drops a lot of times between cassette and frame from the smallest cog. Could be that the chain is too long or because i don’t have that derailleur clutch anymore,it’s broken?

+cannondany i have like a problem on my bike and dont really know the issue, when i am upshifting on the 3rd gear (front chainring), then go like some meters like that and then stand up and accelerate, the chain is dropping. I changed the chain, but im not sure if i need to change the chainring, to me it's looknig pretty ok. Any help is appriciated. Thanks

Would if my chain falls off in every possible way except between the rear gears and the spokes.

My brand new 105 Cranks have pretty ugly scars now because of the chain coming off

My does my mountain bike chain sag in the smaller cogs but is fine in the larger cogs what is wrong

I trashed my rear derailleur and came close to messing up my rear spokes when this happened.

You could get a chain catcher that goes on to the front derailleur. Good security measure, especially if you have a carbon bike.

reason why it drops its because its too lose to fix it untighten the backwheel and put soflty back as much ad you can then tighten it while holding it in same position this has worked for me over 7 years and never happened since then

My chain has only gone where it shouldn’t twice. First time shifting from 3rd to 8th to fast and it jumped off. And the second i was going down a curb and my pedals swung backwards so when the chain drooped down it then swung back up and off a and i smashed my solid metal flat pedal into my knee with all my body weight behind it, luckily it only brushed for a bit and healed before i got back home and looked at it.

How can I avoid chain drop while cycling between traffic and roads with lots of potholes?

On my cycle the shifter can't change to the smallest crank set what could be the problem?

I only have one at the front but my chain rubbing on frame at the top

I still dont know how to fix the 1st problem. I have the chain jammed all the way down and it can barely move, I cant handle it or move it like you do at 3:59

I've noticed this moment on Saturday. What was a reason of falling chain down? Did you turn crankshaft counterclockwise for a moment? Or vibrations?

When back spin the chain hit on the frame what is the issue? The rd ?

Im using 1x when a pedal fast and stop chain jump

The problem with my cycle is that my chain only drops when I’m going FULL speed on the top gear and if I’m not sitting on the seat when it drops then I’m screwed

Very impormative🚵🏻‍♂️

I think the cause of my chain drop is high cadence when i shift the front gear. You explain it at 11th min. Tks so much.

I am having the same problem a country

Iam on a mountain bike and I just bought it when I jump off an edge or a jump the chain comes off

my chain keeps dropping from the biggest chainring towards the frame

What are the reasons for the chain's exit?

My bike chain keeps breaking, and while I’m riding it, I hit my knee on my bar handle

The chain on my mtb dropped outwards and locked up my pedals, making me fly over. I got soooo hurt.

I broke my spokes once..just hurtful 😔

I though you were going to show how to fix the problem????

Why do you use those orange cable ends?

Does anyone know why my bike is extremely hard to pedal????

My chain drops when I pedal backwards just once. Why? How can I fix that? I use high gear.

👍

That broke my bike

I don’t have spokes lol

My chain stocks. How to fixz!??

U know this is impossible with out a fancy bike prop show a way us normies can fix it

How about not just talking for 1year . You show how its done . Some people have no clue about what you are talking about. They just need the video clip to show what to do .

Piece of junk bicycle.
