    Over enthusiastic gear changing

    Bit more than a little sloppy. but to be fair there was a small hole that had been worn by rubbing against the cat flange that led to complete failure about 50 miles from home, was in 3rd when it finally snapped so it stayed there for the rest of the journey. Easy enough to replace, but a bitch to adjust properly.
