I throw my chain about every other ride if I am not careful moving from the large to small chainring.
I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one... This is happening to me as well on my '09 with 105 (standard 105 crankset). If I apply any power at all shifting from big chainring to small, it's a guaranteed Andy Schleck. I've changed the cable tension and taken it to my wrench who's more than capable, no dice. Short term fix has been a K-Edge chain catcher, long term is a swap to Rival.
