Yeah, I was riding my home trail. Maybe I should be raking my forest.
![]() I broke the chain I apparently tweaked in the previous ruckus this morning. Trailside repair was smooth though so the ride was not impacted.

If you like repairing bikes, then these happy ending breakdowns are part of the fun. Glad it worked out.

Can't the derailleur have a guard mounted, like a chain guard, to keep sticks from poking it?

I may have made some ground in the get Pete riding again department. She was a roadie but you can't ride the roads here anymore because of the hater factor. She was never comfortable on a mountain bike but I finally talked her into riding my full suspension. It is nowhere near as compliant as a modern all mountain being meant for xc racing but it does take the edge off. She came back stoked. Now I'm looking at modern used FS bikes for her on PinkBike.
