This review is from: Deda Dog Fang 28.6mm *roadbike chain guide* (Misc.)

If you ride with a triple crank or a compact double with a really wide range, chances are you have dropped you chain off the smaller sprocket at some point, usually just when you really needed to shift onto that smaller chainring. This Dog Fang is a very simple, very effective device that prevents that from happening. It closes up the open space between the seat tube and the inner chainring, forcing the chain to land on the smaller chainring rather than on top of the bottom bracket shell.

It's not pretty but it is very well made, durable, and extremely simple to install. I would have prefered a metric socket head screw but the slot head works fine. It is cheap insurance for no missed shifts and for protection from the damage a chain dropped on the top of the bottom bracket shell.
