SLX cranks
FSA DH unramped chainring
Superstar plasma device
10 spd mech/cassette/chain

chain keeps coming off the chainring and onto the outside of the bolt tabs

when i back pedal teh chain jumps down 2-3 cogs

Bent teeth on the chainring, if not obvious then bent spider on the crank.

How would the spider bend? it's ok when pedalling normally but comes off on really rough stuff

What takisawa2 says - bent teeth? Or knackered chain? Or rear mech spring knackered? Or a combination.

Freewheel, stiff again link or stiff jockey wheels?
Back pedal slyly by hand...

Sorted - bent chain links and chain too short hence rear mech hooking up on the cassette - before the bend in the link the cage JUST missed the teeth on the 36t, but after JUST caught it!

cheers all
