Chain kept jumping off, and chain rub at FD and other fitment pains of 2 b by

Wheels of Happiness

Rizal Philippines
5.19.2021



The chain kept falling off the front chain ring.  I was tempted to go to the LBS mechanic.  
I found out the cause - the high position of the front derailleur relative to the largest chain ring.  Since the large chain ring has been removed, the clearance between the lower edge of the FD and the tooth line of the chain ring should be at least 2 mm (a coin thickness)  The current clearance is about 150 mm.  

So I lowered the front derailleur.  

Furthermore, there is a chain rub that would not diisappear despite the adjustment of the limit screws.  There is where the barrel adjuster was useful.  I turned it CC or CCW until the sound disappeared.

Two problems solved..  No need to go to the mechanic.

I rode well yesterday despite feeling ill last Sunday

Wheels of Happiness

Rizal Philippines  | April 3, 2015

               Smith lent me his yellow helmet to complete the all yellow stuff: watch, eyewear, shoes,


I think I did well in the Bisikleta Iglesia yesterday, despite being unable to get off from the bed last Sunday  (March 29, 2015)  That may be due to:   fatigue from Calapan travel Thursday, and Friday and high blood sugar

I was in front, at the peloton at the following stages:

1. From Angono to Taytay (hence I was able to take picture at Iglesia Taytay;

2.  From Junction to Karangalan (together with VM)

3.  From Padre Pio to Sta Clara church  (VM and I were first in the church)

4.  Going down from Balara to Tumana (I was with Gerry Y)

5.  Well I was tasked with showing the way from Concepcion church to the church of the abandoned in San Roque,

and exiiting from San Roque to Tuazon, Sta Lucia and to Junction  (that is why I was able to take their picture at Junction)

Still strong at 64 (senior citizen hehehe - puede pa)
