I perodically get enquiries along the lines of 'can you fix carbon?'. Makes you wonder how many of those frame are currently landfill.
I had a rear wheel lock-up once that was caused by one of the drive pawls in the freewheel snapping off, so that could be a possibility, but that didn't cause any damage to the frame. Does sound like chainsuck to me though, can't think of what else it could possibly be.
I'm not sure if the actual chain or the deraileur caused the actualy gash. But there's some little hacks further up so it looks like it was the line of the chain.
I continued on and it's didn't do anything else for the 110 km it took to finish the ride so it was definitly strange.

Is your damn removable link on the right way? some of them are directional..!
Yeah, mines a directional sucker. As for if I've got it on the right way, I hope so. I threw the instructions to it out a long time ago. Pretty sure it's right though.
