I just watched a NorCal video where guy had to spend all race in little ring because it snapped at the start line. Ouch!

As long as you have access to a phillips screwdriver, you aren't stuck in the little ring - you can tighten the high limit screw to pick your one gear (at least from the higher ones).

(Replying to wmitty) it happened to him at the start line. His choice was between DNS or little ring.
