Anyone had any adverse experiences with tight spots on bike chains?

Apart from making a horrible racket (it didnt to start with, but it is
now), is it really likely to go bang?

Dont be such a pikey, if its fucked, then get it replaced. Do you
really want to find out when youre going round that left hander on a
busy road?

Yep, had a tight spot on the fatblade chain. It suddenly went from a
clicking to a banging noise luckily at low speed. The sideplate had sheared
off and was catching on the chain guard.

Buy a new chain.

Last time I had a bad tight spot, I took it into the dealers to find I
had a collapsed rear wheel bearing.

I had a little moment as I realised Id been flying to and fro on the
NCR to work for over a week with it!

Ive already got the bike booked in for a replacement on the 9th Sept
(I did this last Sat). It was the earliest I could do.

At the moment, Im using the cage, which whilst okay this week, is
going to be a pig next week when the holidays finish and France opens
for business.

Nah, Im not going to take the risk. The last ride will be a slow one
to the bike shop (about 4km away).

Among other things, its likely to fuck up the output shaft of your gearbox.
