| mine snapped last week - from pull away @ low speed.
The bike is new to me (first bike) and i dont think the guy who had it before me coulda looked after the small things on it, as the sprocket retainer turned out to be missing.
Ironically i was on my way to pick up a new rear sprocket when it snapped.
I ended up replacing the lot (front and rear sprockets and chain) which is a good thing.
oh and for sheer comedy timing value (i already posted this in the week so sorry for repeating myself) as i stood on the road side getting ready to push home, my gf rang me and dumped me.
Glad your pal wasnt hurt! It really sucks about the damage to your bike!
