One or more chainring bolts got loose / broke and fell out = tacoed chainring due to plate buckling.

Too much HTFU juice, not enough CYFB [check your f**k**g bike] jam

Green chains are known to be corrosive.

Exactly.

krapes 11-18-11 06:42 PM

Haha. It's actually my friend. I thought it might also be the quality of the crank- but no one mentioned that so I guess it's probably just my br3h ma$shing too hardz. Is this a common occurrence though?

Sure, for people who don't know how to use an allen wrench.

Done that before. Learned to periodically check my chainring bolts.

And for the record, never ever had that happen before. Not one time.

Guy at my LBS had that happen when he swapped chainrings and forgot to fully tighten all his bolts after just getting them started. He actually lost a whole arm off his spider too because of it.
