Last sunday, my friend experienced a chainsuck, just when he was taking
a turn. He fell quite badly on his elbow (docter thought there could be
a crack).
There was already a thread on chainsuck, but I missed most of it. So,
does it (chainsuck) happen due to bad maintenance, bad chain, bad front
blade...?
Any pointer to more info is gladly appreciated...

Thanks,
M.

I've spent most of my money on mountain biking and windsurfing.
The rest I've just wasted.

If you know there's been a recent thread, you can always go to
groups.google.com and search within alt.mountain-bike for a particular term --
in this case, chainsuck.

It's cause is quite simple....the best remedy is to start riding a SS.
