Eeeek...the chain really was dangling at that point wasn't it! I did about 3500 miles in 3 weeks up and down mountains so it got some serious abuse. Also, coming from shaft drive bikes I didn't give it the proper attention it deserved

.
Just fitting a new chain and sprockets and Scottoiler before dissapearing off to France.
Denny, when I return I'll post some better close up shots of the rack. I have a few piccies in the Gallery here but I'm not sure if they include the rack.
Off now to hang my head in loose-chain shame...
