Yes forum this is what 20 Watts of power will do to an unmaintained chain while climbing a hill ;)

No way. I'd say at least 30 W.

I hope that that was not your bike. If it was, you should be banned from the forum. :bike: :)

[Germany_chris]

Yes I must admit that is the chain on my commuter..

Hi my name is Chris and I'm a bad mechanic :p

[firerescuefin]

Bane...you're banned. :no: Mod's let's make it happen.

They're going to love you over at V Salon. Say some BS that makes you sound like a late 70's pimp riding a Colnago and you'll quickly become an ICON. :cool:

Good luck...and good riddens ;).

[AgilisMerlin]

I thought "awesome power" was a new Colnago frameset. doh!

[MattTuck]

I hope you weren't out of the saddle when that chain 'malfunction' occurred... for the sake of your gametes.

[firerescuefin]

I hope you were wearing a helmet. :fight:

[mike p]

Hope he was wearing a cup!

You know better than that..I saved myself from a terrible walking pace collision with the asphalt but using my cat like reflexes ;) and putting my foot down..

I think a swore a bit about crappy old chains though..

I don't think you can blame the chain for that one. :no:

[Bruce K]

Did I hear something about someone needing banning?

:rolleyes: :cool: :beer:

Wipperman, been there :rolleyes: Glad you are OK.

[Germany_chris]

Wipperman, been there :rolleyes: Glad you are OK.

I honestly don't remember what it is and Wippermans do tend to be my favorite chains..I just tried to scrape some gunk off :o to see if there was a marking and I don't see one..Maybe it is Wipperman

Big deal, I can do that just by mishifting.
I can't put out 20 watts, though. PM me with your training secrets.

Your hired to spin the wheels at my home to have electricity.

Glad no serious injury occured !!!

[Germany_chris]

So when I told my wife about the walk of shame, she attributed it to my increased girth not my amazing power ;)

Actually she sorta laughed a bit when I talked about my awesome power :crap:

Did you hit your nutz???

Late last summer a broken Ultegra chain threw me to the pavement at 5:40AM during a standing climb... It hurt like hell. A couple days ago I spoke to an orthopedic surgeon about pain in my shoulder joint. He asked I had taken an impact there in the past few months. Once I explained the incident he said, "Yup, that was it. The bad part is that this pain may be here for a year" :crap:

I keep very clean chains and inspect them regularly nevertheless they can break without warning.

No I wasn't going fast enough..

I broke my collar bone in a DH snow race in 02 I'd get strange pains in my shoulder for a couple years so I do understand
