When I turn the crank backwards, the chain jumps off the top (smallest) sprocket. The chainline isn’t optimal. How can I fix this? by Effective_Swing5230 Bicycle Bicycling Bike Biking Canyon Bicycles Canyon Bikes Cycling

teunnes on January 7, 2026 5:05 pm It is not something you can fix. It is normal that it dorps the chain when back pedaling. The cassette isn’t designed for that 😉
NielsD91 on January 7, 2026 5:12 pm It’s normal. You can’t fix it. If it shifts good, don’t change anything
Fantastic-Shape9375 on January 7, 2026 5:50 pm I’d suggest not backpedaling. Bikes are meant to be pedalled forward
