If your chain jumps, or falls, off and if you're having problems shifting when you're putting the pressure down, the chances are that your front derailleur needs some adjustment.

The good news? This is a short, and relatively simple, job. All you'll need is a cross head screwdriver and a 5mm (maybe 6mm) allen key, plus, possibly, a little bit of patience.
