The teeth of the chainring get slightly hooked, so instead of the chain smoothly coming off the bottom of the chainring to go to the RD, the teeth hold onto the chain and pull it up into the bottom of the FD.
- Yes this is what lead me to either my chain being to short (I cut and installed) or the large chain ring is worn.
I will post a picture here in a little while showing at least a straight on shot of the chain ring..they look really warn to me. (I bought the bike recently and now I'm working with this issue).
Thanks for the help guys!!!
