A Wheelie bin

And a broken bit of Firestorm spoiling the view.

Jesus, bloody lucky you noticed. Are the cush drives knackered, this would account for stresses on that part of the chain.

last 12 months since OP Storm Scotland, this must be at least the 4th broken chain........... and till then I hadn't heard of one happening!

2001 bike, under 8500 miles, original chain, cush drives are fine. It happened last week at Brands Hatch although not that different from road riding and wheelies and stuff, I guess track stresses are different on the over run, flat out 2nd gear down graham hill bend then shut off at max revs and into the left hander would have stressed it quit a bit. Not acceptable on a new chain but this one is old.

Really didn't want to be spending on a new chain though, it was hardly stretched and I'm not using the bike much


Might have to make Devon storm cut backs, one loaf and a yoghurt pot of chilli might have to feed us all

Good find. Could have been nasty if you hadn't spotted it.

I knew of a guy who could feed a thousand on a loaf of bread and some fishes. If you can part the waters, that'll be good enough for us :

lucky man indeed... and as Al said there seems to be an outbreak of storms busting chains. i check mine now before i go out every time.

If you aren't in a rush, I'll PM you a good deal I've found for a chain.

EDIT: Looks like they've taken it down, I better go check what arrived today!

[bald_pig]

They've sent the correct thing, I guess they just didn't want people buying £44 X-ring chains

Already got new chain and sprockets just need to find some time to fit them.

Nice shot of the wheelie bin through the wheel like that

Luck was on your side when you spotted that before it let go Malc,
