  1. My bike has two speed controls next to handles. One wire connects to front big sprocket, which has
    three layers of sprocket. Another one wire connects to the hind sprockets, which has a couple of
    more layers of sprockets.

    My problem is the chain easily falls off front sprocket without doing anything, specially the front
    sprocket during up hill or down hill. Then the entire chain falls off. Please help guide me how to
    do some adjustment to make it not falling off too often.

    Thanks a great deal.

  2. It might not be an adjustment, but possibly a bent link in the chain, bent or missing tooth on a
    chainring, frame or drivetrain alignment issue etc. The front derailleur really doesn't do a whole
    lot of work to actually keep the chain from coming off, except when shifting.

    What type of bike is it, what condition are the parts, etc?

    It could be the type of thing that a shop could recognize very quickly.
