We were using #25 chain and it was aligned from front to back fairly well, and was pulling perpendicular to the shaft until the wheel started to deform. Once the wheel was wobbling though, the chain just popped right off. It did have a fairly good amount of tension in it as well.
so wait...how many bearings did you have between the wheel and the axle? because with 2 bearings supporting it i don't think this situation has a likelihood of occurring.
