well thanks for the help... what doesnt make sense? the chain popped off in the middle of traffic causing me to crash and **** up the fork and i am wondering what would be a good replacement? i am not sure what companies make 28 mm rake forks and its proving hard to find that out. and i would also like to know why the chain popped off so many times if it was tight.. was the back wheel seizing? or did the wheel have to have slipped forward?
