What To Do If The Chain Drops While Riding
In the process of riding, the bicycle will inevitably have problems. Instead of worrying about something going wrong, learn the tricks to troubleshoot early.
Dropping the chain is the worst nightmare for novice cyclists, but the chain drop actually means that the chain is not properly stuck on the gear, and falls on the flywheel or the inside and outside of the large plate.
When the chain is dropped, don’t pull it casually, otherwise the more the chain gets stuck in, the harder it is to take it out. First, observe the position where the chain fell, take out the chain, and put the nearest chainring to complete the repair. It’s very simple. However, if the bicycle often falls off the chain, it may be that the limit screw of the derailleur needs to be adjusted again, you can go to the repair shop to check and repair.

If on a group ride claim you have no idea how to fix the problem and hope some kind hearted soul will get their hands dirty while you watch...

I do it purposely with a flourish of my arms in the air so other cyclists can see that I can overcome when I don't maintain my drivetrain properly.
