chain problems
i was just recently riding my fixie, and my pedal skipped on the ground on a turn. the problem is that my chain fell off. so i walked all the way home. my question is, how do you go about putting the chain back on?

no way! wrong!
all he needs is a new crankset, perferably one of the "cottered" kind the kids are talking about these days.
why make him go through all that trouble?

You could always undo the master link, but that is more work than just losening the back wheel.

I had this happen to me once, it was quite scary since I was going through traffic. Anyway, I consulted a bike mechanic friend of mine and he said the only way to get the chain back on with the correct chainline is to relace your wheel to a Deep V. Blue, gold, pink will suffice. Non machined only.
Safe Riding!
