Incompatible crankset...

I have been having trouble keeping the chain on the large chain ring. It will come off for no apparent reason, but especially when I am climbing hills on a high gear. Came off twice on Saturday.

I took it to the shop Monday for an adjustment and front flat fix. The guys said they have another bike like mine that is having the same problem. They are in contact with Raliegh to solve the issue. They think the problem is that the hub and components are Shimano, and the crank is a Truvativ Elita 2.1 and that they are incompatible.

Anyway, they have ordered a Shimano crankset and are going to swap it out for me.
