I have a Cannondale Adventure 400
When I am riding, and I stop pedaling and just "coast", keeping the pedals in the same spot, the chain bunches up and then sometimes comes off.
In doing some troubleshooting, I discovered the following;
1). If I take my feet OFF the pedals - the pedals want to still turn rather than just stay in the spot where they are. (I have another Cannondale and it DOES NOT exhibit that symptom)
2). If I rotate the pedals backwards - it cause the problem to happen quicker.
3). If I just walk the bike beside me, the pedals want to rotate too. (I have another Cannondale and it DOES NOT exhibit that symptom)
Any help would be appreciated.
