I also have another similar article coming up about "when it is OK to cross chain" ;) Good point Rob, I do try to go as big/big as possible to keep the chain in place on those rough descents.

I also have another similar article coming up about “when it is OK to cross chain” ;)

I don't think I've seen anything that shows it so clearly. I do think there's one time when cross chaining is a good thing. On fast, rocky descents on a mountain bike, using something at least close to the big ring/big cog keeps the chain from slapping into chain stay so much. It also reduces the chance that the chain will come off. Great job of showing cross chaining. I don’t think I’ve seen anything that shows it so clearly.
