45
Chain/belt
Check that the chain (Fig. 45) or belt (Fig. 46) is still on the front chain-
ring and the rear sprocket and/or the front and rear belt drive sprockets,
respectively. If your CS fell over to the chain side, verify the proper func-
tioning of the derailleur gears. Ask a helper to lift the CS by the saddle and
carefully shift through all the gears.

Pay particular attention when shifting to the small gears and make sure
the rear derailleur does not get too close to the spokes as the chain climbs
onto the larger sprockets.
If the rear derailleur or the dropouts/derailleur hanger are bent, the rear
derailleur may collide with the spokes. This can result in damage to the rear
derailleur, the rear wheel and the frame.
