K-Edge Chain Catcher is a great product
There is a good stretch of rode where I ride that is cobbles and uneven. I managed to drop my chain twice on my old aluminum bike. I have since upgraded to carbon and this was the one of the first after market pieces that I added. It has saved my frame and kept the chain from flying off my inner crank. Just make sure that your derailleur is the braze on type and not the clamp on. Installation was pretty easy and it gives me great piece of mind that I am not going to lose my chain anymore.

Great addition to any bike
I bought this because I recently got a carbon bike, and had a few instances where the chain jumped off the small ring. It happens.Now, after I installed this (10 minutes was all it took) I haven’t been able to make it happen at all. It’s great–don’t have to think about it at all.Some additional info: My bike is a 2013 Specialized Roubaix Elite Apex. I originally went to my LBS and asked for the Specialized part (they come installed on most of their $2500+ bikes, but not on mine) and they got me one directly from Specialized. It was the same as what goes on their other bikes–a rather simple black squiggle of aluminum, with a scalloped head to fit on the front derailleur. It looked good when I got it on, but it was too far away from the small cog–the chain would have fallen right through the gap, had it jumped with this thing installed. I would have had to bend the Specialized chain catcher to get it closer to the cog, because it wasn’t adjustable in any way. That’s when I decided to get the K-Edge product. Very glad I did–it is perfect, beautifully crafted, light as a feather, and completely adjustable. And, it came with a perfectly machined shaped washer that fit my Specialized/SRAM front derailleur perfectly.

Sleek Appearance, Easy Installation
As you would expect this is a quality product designed with seemingly keen attention to detail. Installation took less than 30 minutes and I am far from a professional mechanic. Since the installation I haven’t dropped my chain so far and it’s been about 120 miles with additional tests on the trainer intentionally trying to make the chain drop.

Works like a champ!
This thing works like a champ! When I upgraded from an aluminum triple to a carbon compact double, I was trying so hard to avoid the more frequent cross chaining that I instead dropped the chain 3 times in the first hour. Constant frame damage anxiety and grease on my white bar tape was not gonna cut it long term. Ordered, this, had the local bike shop install it, and haven’t had a single dropped chain in several hundred miles. Maybe I wouldn’t have needed it after a week or two of getting used to the double but this was cheap frame insurance in the meantime. I got the black one and it’s very inconspicuous. FYI the mechanic did say he had to adjust the derailleur a little when he put it on, in case you’re thinking of installing it yourself.

Does the job
I installed a power meter crankset on my bike that was a 10/11 speed compatible system. No matter how I set the limit screws I would still sometimes drop the chain. It even followed the crankset when I moved it to a new bike.The chain catcher seems to have completely solved the problem!Despite tightening the bolt really well, I can see that the catcher has shifted some since I installed it. It’s now resting against a bolt on the braze on. It still works great, but the single bolt attachment method is a bit suspect and may cause rotation after installation. The pro version solves this with an extra bolt, but costs more.There were no instructions provided in the package.I would recommend this product.

P.O.S. Just don’t.
I put this on a shiny new Cervelo Aspero. The frame has extremely tight tolerances, and a dropped chain would ruin the paint. Guess what. The damn thing doesn’t work. I’m a meticulous mechanic. I had this thing adjusted perfectly, only a fraction of a millimeter from the chain on the small chainring. But somehow the chain managed to get behind the chain catcher at least 3 times in the course of 11 months, and the paint around my bottom bracket was scarred. The worst part is once this thing fails, your chain is trapped behind it, and you can’t get it out without tools. Last time that happened I bent the side plates and ruined the chain getting it out. I took this damn thing off immediately and threw it away. It’s about as stiff as an empty beer can. It should be a crime for K-Edge to charge as much as they do for this POS. You are quite literally better off with nothing. Do not buy.

Saves your bike frame in case of dropped chain
If you value your expensive bike frame, then I strongly recommend this product. It prevents your chain from dropping off and jamming against your bike frame. It prevents it from gouging or scratching the paint. If your frame is carbon its even more reason to use this product. Derailed chains will rip through carbon layers and cause very costly repairs.This is a good product at a good price and is well worth the money when you compare to the price of your bike frame.

Perfect match
Exactly what you need to protect your frame from chain coming off the double ring crankset. Easy to install.

Why didn’t I buy this years ago?
For a long time I have had issues with the chain dropping off when shifting to the smaller chainring. How many times did I re-adjust the derailleur, shift to a higher gear in back before dropping the front to the inner ring, pedal in slow motion when shifting, nudge the shift lever as the chain moved over? Well, this totally solved the issue. Unbelievably simple device. No noise, no evidence that the chain even touches it, but somehow it totally works. I had no issues with the install. Just set up the derailleur as usual, and bring the arm close to the inner ring. I thought I would need to adjust it, but worked well the first go.

Recommend the Pro Version instead.
I really should have spent the extra $10 for the pro version for the additional adjustment. This “non-pro” version is a little janky to set up in that the chain catcher and the derailleur are both held on by the same bolt. Getting both the derailleur and the chain catcher 1mm off the lower chain ring is more difficult than one thinks. Definitely use a marker prior to installation to mark the position of the front derailleur if you can (even with a marker some adjustment to the derailleur may still be needed). If you swap chainring setups semi frequently avoid this version.To be honest I am not sure why K-edge makes this version…. maybe for the weight weenies or to meet a lower price point?!? 2/3rd the price for 3x the frustration IMHO.It is made in the USA though and is of high quality 🙂
