Chain issues
I just got a bike from a friend, and am having a problem. Everytime I pedal hard, either from a stop or from a slow pedal, the chain falls off the front gears...EVERYTIME!
Any ideas**********
Thanks

Probably be best to give more of a description of what you're riding: How old is the bike, what kind of a bike is it, are the parts old or new, etc.

It could be any number of thiings, but first make sure the front derailleur is properly adjusted. If so check for a loose BB, such that when you push hard the crank flexes over causing a shift, You can check by looking down for the movement while pedaling hard.
