Yeah, one little push to your gears, and they can get between your wheel.
It’s screws up the whole bike.

At least I got it fixed completely for free, but the 30 minute walk with the bike and my backpack was not a lot of fun!

@Nick,

Thanks man, I learn everyday something new
Fortunately my bike gets fixed. Now I just need another way to get some exercise and burn the calories.

Cheers

Bummer about your bike

The thing that moves the chain is called a “derailer”, as in it de-rails the chain from one gear to another (I think).
