Hi,
I hopped on my bike yesterday and noticed that while I am pedaling, the bike is making a popping sound and the chain is losing tension. It is almost as if the chain is coming off of the gears temporarily. More specifically, it feels and acts the same as when I switch gears on the bike, but I'm not actually changing gears. It's just popping and losing tension. Does anyone know what causes this and how I might fix it? I would like to be able to fix this myself so suggestions are greatly appreciated.
