Hey everyone. I just bought a brand new Trek Fuel Ex 8 today. I was excited to get it home and start riding, but now I'm faced with an annoying problem. Under heavy load, the chain jumps off the rear sprocket. It doesn't seem to jump from sprocket to sprocket, just jumps on the one gear.
This really sucks when trying to sprint, and I can only imagine what it will be like huffing it up a hill. I searched for someone else with the issue, but in all the cases it was an older bike with worn chain/sprocket. This shouldn't be happening on a brand new bike.
Does something need to be realigned? I might just bring it to a bike shop tomorrow to have it checked out.
Thanks.
