All of a sudden no forward momentum of bike, but a blur of
whizzing pedals.

Just the opposite for me today!

I had my chain slip off and bind up and wind around the
inside of the inside chain ring, and could not move the
pedals in any direction.

I too fortunately was able to unclip and come to, what some
might call, a graceful stop!

Yanked the wound chain out of the double winding, put the
derailleur to the big ring position, turned the pedal a few
times and it caught the teeth, and I was on my way.

Strange - never happened before!

Was cycling up a short but steep hill today. Went to click
down a gear. All of a sudden no forward momentum of bike,
but a blur of whizzing pedals. Chain had come off. Cue
frantic, wimpy girlie wails as I realise my predicament as
the bike stalls and I try to unclip foot from pedal doing
what feels like 180rpm...

Luckily I managed to retain a small amount of dignity,
unclip and sto properly without falling off and being a
total lemon :-)

Cheers, helen s

Hi, I just recently had this happen, but I didn't unclip and
had an Arte Johnson moment. This was on my DA triple, I had
the same problem on a Sora double. In both cases I installed
a N-Gear Jump Stop. Why take a chance, when the solution is
simple. I emailed Nick on a Sunday and I received the Jump
Stop on Wednesday. He will send you one with a stamped
return envelope to send your $10 payment. A good product,
fair price, and great service. Here is N-Gear's website:

Congratulations! When I first got my clipless pedals this
same thing happened to me, and I didn't manage to clip out
on time (the pedals were still a bit stiff, and I hadn't
lubricated them). I put the chain back on my bike, got back
on, geared down, and ... yes, I did the same thing less than
a minute later.

I *think* I managed to avoid omitting any "wimpy
girlie wails" 🙂

I felt very fortunate that no one was around.
