Nothing ruins a climb faster than the crunch of a dropped chain. You lose momentum instantly and scramble to unclip before falling over.

Most riders think it is just bad luck but it is usually mechanical.

Worn components are the most common cause of the problem. As the chain stretches and teeth wear down they cannot mesh properly. Shark fin shaped teeth on your chainrings mean you need new parts.

Your derailleur limit screws might also be set incorrectly. These screws stop the chain from being pushed too far off the rings.

A dirty drivetrain is another frequent offender. Gunk and old grease create friction that prevents smooth shifting.

Even a slightly bent derailleur hanger can cause major headaches.

But often the issue comes down to shifting technique. Changing gears under heavy load forces the chain to derail.

The secret is to soft pedal for a split second as you shift. This helps the chain lock into place before you apply power again.

Still celebrating National Girls & Women in Sports Day. 💪🏾🚴🏾‍♀️

Last Wednesday, our Cycle Sistahs gathered at Trek Bicycle Newark for a Flat Tire Repair Clinic—and it was everything: learning, laughter, confidence-building, and community.

Huge thank you to Ben Meeder, store manager, and the entire Trek team for creating such a welcoming space and for being genuinely open to future partnership events and projects. This is how we grow the sport, support women, and keep each other rolling. 💚

Grateful for spaces that invest in women on and off the bike. More to come 👀🚴🏾‍♀️
