out for a road ride today with my son, his drive chain is used but was working fine, got to top of a hill he was in middle of rear cassette and changed up at the front, mech ripped of hanger, hanger bent into the cassette and chain everywhere. mech is in bits. I assume caused by chainsuck. the cassette and chain were nearing end of life, i obviously need to buy a new mech hanger, rear mech chain and cassette, could it be caused by front rings as well? any thoughts welcome
