I took the (shimano) chain off and replaced as per this vid and all seemed fine, however I then went out for a ride and just outside the village the chain came apart, causing the chainset to grind to a halt, and me to fall off as I was clipped in. The broken chain had gone into the jockey wheels, pulling the rear derailleur back and up, bending it right out of shape and into the wheel and pulling part of the wheel bracket of the frame with it. Unfortunately I hadn't read this comment by Paul, and someone else has since told me that this was probably the cause of the break :-( Off to the workshop for me!

I done this and it seemed to work fine but now I've been told if you've pushed the pin through to the other side and re-connected the chain you also need to flatten off the edge of that pin as it can now come loose, is this correct?
