Chain Slapping and Falling off
Hiya,
New to the sport and have a recurring problem. I am riding a 29er hardtail and keep dropping my chain when riding on rougher terrain, usually downhill. It slaps about pretty hard as well.
I have looked up chain guides and the like, but note that they seem to work for one or two chain ring set ups, where I have 3. Also, I was wondering whether a chain tensioner might do the trick - or both.
I would appreciate any advice anyone has on what I can do equipment or set up wise to try and minimise this.
Tyre choices and Chain Guides
Just wondering what the 27.5 guys are running and where to buy. Currently have Schwalbes Racing Ralphs which for the front are ok and the rear is dreadful and have worn down in a couple of months riding.
Great if you want to slide into the berms but let me down on the looser stuff.
Also want to know some more info on getting a good chain guide for my 1 x 11. I think I have 34teeth on a SRAM X01 and want to make sure that puppy is protected. Looking at the MRP G3 but would like some opinions out there in NobMob world.
4WD top of 100 mtr hIll today WTF....
Around 3pm where 100 mtr Hill meets main trail up from Maybrook and past the Abo carvings a ute & Suzuki 4wd's.
Kids looking for a way around to Cromer.
I did advise them they would be heavily fined if caught, I was more impressed with the fact they drove down and up from Maybrook.

Manly Dam update for 29 Jun
Very busy and not as dry as I was expecting but certainly green.
Watch out for the new section of trail. The "black" line does need to be hit at speed. As others have mentioned a roll down will catch your drive train and a 1/2 committed crack at a huck could end up in a super man into the bushes. Also if you've watched the video the features fell about twice as big and the landings twice as sketchy when you're out there.
Have fun out there!

North Turramurra update for 28 Jun
I rode some of the North Turra trails today having stayed away for several weeks while they did a lot of fire road maintenance. Happy to report that the work between Jubes and McRae Place, Stonecrop Road and Samuel King Oval seems to be mostly finished and the trails are as smooth as I've seen them in over two years. Lost a bit of "character", but never been faster if that's your thing. The short, steep climb from Lover's Jump creek is now very rideable, but I doubt it will stay that way for long.
