Steve,

I had the exact same thing happen to me last fall when I had a local 
mechanic (not a dealer) install a new set of sprockets and new chain (you 
will also notice the bike botteming out on rough surfacing and metal scaping 
here and there--its the chain agains all the surfaces that normally are not 
within its reach).

Didn't figure it out until I brought my bike into spoke a dealer for other 
work; he informed me that the concentric adjustor was completely turned out 
(or was it in?).

Anyhow, pretty sure all you have to to fix this is loosen your chain 
adjustment screw and use the spanner wrench that comes with your tool kit to 
return the bike to the its proper geometry (check your manual). I think you 
have to make sure you remove the chain first while you do the adjustment, 
then put the chain back on and re-adjust for proper tension.
