The risk
During up-shifting gearbox operation, excessive torque is transferred to the drive sprocket, rear axle and drive chain adjuster. Due to this force and insufficient strength, the chain adjuster can be deformed, which in the worst case may lead to the drive chain coming off from the sprockets and in consequence to an accident.
