Well I've got a modern Wilier road bike which I have had for two years and has performed faultlessly right up until today
I flicked the chain off the big ring to the little ring and it fell off! Then within seconds the rear mech took up
the chain slack and then to my shock and god knows what happened next but the rear mech' went up the gears
and the bottom of the pulley cage engaged the spokes resulting in the hanger bending and the rear mech' snapped in two and bending the chain to death.
The rear mech' was adjusted so it cannot foul the spokes but somehow it did, but looking at it the chain had gone over the lower part of the cage.
I've seen many modern bikes do this and never thought it would happen to me :cry:
Its going to cost £90 for a new mech' + Chain + Hanger :twisted:
