Dont be a deutchbag... put on at least a front brake.

dont be a "deutchbag" and condescend to people. i could be chain tension...if you're using a road crankset with a smaller bcd, it is possible that you flexed the chainring (not exactly likely, put possible). glad you're not dead. I've done the same thing on a few occasions, and i ride a pretty tight chain...doubt me if you want, but i'm pretty sure i just flexed something that I wasn't supposed to....yeah, i dunno.
