IT ALL STARTED WITH A CASUAL RIDE IN THE COUV... I HAD THESE SWEET-TARTS IN MY BACK POCKET... BUT NOT FOR LONG. OUT OF NOWHERE I FEEL A BUMP AND MY CHAIN FLIES OFF!
I STOPPED TO PUT IT BACK ON AND PICKED UP RIDING AGAIN. MY FRIEND SAYS. "WOAH! YOUR CANDY JUST FELL OUT OF YOUR POCKET AND GOT CAUGHT IN YOUR COG!!" I THOUGHT IT WAS CRAZY, BUT NOT IMPOSSIBLE. AS WE RODE ON, I FELT A HUGE CLICK IN MY PEDAL... AS I INSPECTED CLOSER I NOTICED THAT NOT ONLY HAD MY CHAIN BEEN DERAILED BY THE SWEET, BUT THAT SHIT BROKE!
I GUESS IT'S TO BE EXPECTED... THAT CHAIN WAS AT LEAST A YEAR AND A HALF OLD... A CHEAP ONE AT THAT. IT WAS IMMEDIATELY REPLACED WITH A PINTLE-CHAIN WHICH I SHOULDA HAD IN THE FIRST PLACE SINCE I RIDE SO HARD AS IT IS!
THE MORAL IS: WATCH OUT FOR CANDY CAUSE IT HAS A VENGEANCE AGAINST BIKE CHAINS... OR RIDE QUALITY SHIT. CHEERS!
