How true, how true, how painfully true. This AM I stomped on my pedals at a green light and the worn chain fell off of the worn chainring and the big ring chewed into the back of my calf. Eight holes of various sizes. I am a big horse of a rider, former weight-lifter, and have a few sprockets with teeth broken off and broke a crank arm once. First time the bike bit back. Replace what you can.
