5.0 out of 5 stars Save my bike Key Chain Catcher, September 3, 2010

This is obviously a pricy product but worth every penny. This light and efficient catcher served two folds: it not only saves the bike bottom bracket from damages caused by a dropping chain on a race, but it also allows you to go on without ever having to have concerns about a chain drop... I will always have this device installed on a bike. I believe that this should come standard on all high end grouppo's.

Any bike can be subject to chain drop, and with today's carbon frames this can be fatal to your frame. The K-Edge was the first or one of the first to create a simple and effective solution to this common problem. There are cheaper versions out there, maybe not as adjustable, but if you are going to spend the coin, why not go with the company that came up with it, and keep your dollars in American pockets.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pricy but worth it! Saves your gloves from chain grease too., November 19, 2011

I hesitated to buy this because it's ridiculously expensive for what it is, a bolt, a washer and a bent piece of metal. But like paying an engineer to twist one valve, it's knowing how to bend that bit of metal, and that you need one is what you are paying for. ie It's the idea, and it's worth every penny!

Now if you own a bike like I do that is just a tool, it gets me to work everyday, and someone says, I've got a do-hicky that will save your frame from grease and scratches, well forget it. But when you are standing next to the side of the road with your fingers covered in chain guck putting your chain back on, while a farmer's dog is chewing on your leg and someone said, "hey! for a few bucks you could have made that downshift and ridden away from that dog." What would you pay for that?!? Well a lot more than this and you'd be happy too.

So save yourself some grief and grime covered fingers and a scratched frame and a missed shift and buy this gizmo.

Installation is pretty easy, just remove the shift cable, remove the bolt holding the cage, replace with this thingy and the bolt they give you, put the shift cable back, and tighten everything down making sure that the bit of metal just misses everything on the inside of your chain rings. (bolts, rings, the chain.) Then test spin it before you ride away.

Recommendation: Strong BUY
