Hey Bike Buy. I've been working on my fixed bike project for quite some time and am in the finishing stages. I recently had a problem where my chain hopped off the crankset though and the chain wound up tearing the spokes on the rear wheel as I tried to come to a stop. I've reused a road double for the task and was originally going to keep the original 53t chainring, but I'm thinking the chain probably came disengaged like it did because of the tooth profile on the chainring, designed to facilitate indexed shifting. Any thoughts? If so, I was thinking of getting a 53t Litepro chainring with the integrated bash guard, running it facing inward, and installing a standalone bash guard (one of the Driveline units) on the outboard side. Basically to keep the chain captive. How does this sound?
Also not pictured is the chromed dork disk that I just installed on the rear wheel. Had to take out the ruined spokes and replace them all. Never again.
