Man, we have had this discussion....
I know that it happens but I really can't wrap my mind around it. Every time someone loses a chain they,
A. ALWAYS claim that the chain and sprockets were perfectly maintained and that the chain was correctly adjusted.
B. ALWAYS claim that the chain was correctly installed using a rivet link and the proper tools.
C. ALWAYS claim that the chain wasn't showing ANY signs of wear, kinks nor was worn/stretched out.
I have never honestly had this happen nor have I personally seen this happen. I am FAR from being a chain maintenance fiend. Heck, I maybe, lube my chain every oil change (no bs) or when I want it to look good.
I definitely don't adjust it much, maybe twice a season or when I change the rear tire. In fact, almost never other than tire changes and not always then.
