I ghettorigged my rear derailleur on my DJ bike to run SS since my shifter exploded. I was riding to work and the tension screw backed out, forcing my chain onto the frame, and making everything go STOP. Except me. Who was out of the saddle.

Really ****ty way to mess up my ankle.

If you nick your achilles that sucker will ache for a long, long time. I got mine a little with a rope cleat when I was moving a canoe and it took 18 months to stop hurting.
