My brand new sram force chain failed this morning as I was riding out of my drive way. I didn’t realize what had happened, was barely moving so of course fell over. Scratch my right hood up and damage the tape. I hope nothing else is damaged, but it was 4 am and dark. I did fall on the drive side, but my body took most of the fall and my drive way has a fairly steep pitch.
looks like the quick link failed. The quicklink was still together but it’s like it didn’t hold the chain together. I don’t think I put the chain on backwards but I also couldn’t tell which direction it was supposed to go.
