from Cardiff, Wales Date Reviewed: July 27, 2009 Strengths: Easy to fit and does the job its meant to do. I've been riding trails including a very rocky dried stream bed, hitting jumps, drops and tree stumps and nothing has managed to make this thing drop a chain. Didn't have any problems fitting it or following the instructions; there's only two bits to it and its pretty self explanatory. I did it with a few alan keys and socket set and took about 20 mins. Weaknesses: Rear shifting affected ever so slightly, but then i haven't tried to fix it yet so could be a non issue. The top curvey bit seems a bit pointless. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: The Whites Level, Glyncorwwg Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $120.00 Similar Products Used: None. Bike Setup: Lapierre Zesty 314, ISCG 05. 32t middle ring and granny.

from PA Date Reviewed: August 15, 2006 Strengths: This was a true set it and forget product for me. No dropped chains, full range of gears, stealthy looks, great price. Weaknesses: The roller is noisy, but I've come to enjoy it as it lets me know when I'm not pedalling hard enough. Also, it's only noticeable on hills and fireroads. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 6 months Price Paid: $60.00 Purchased At: pricepoint Similar Products Used: None Bike Setup: IH SGS, 7x7, basically a burly FR bike with a granny gear.

from bethlehem,pa,usa Date Reviewed: June 12, 2006 Strengths: It keeps the chain on. Weaknesses: The chain guide is fairly easy to mount. The directions however are completely useless. They have one set of directions for ALL of their guides which is no help for the Dewlie. The design of the guide is poor. The inner plate is almost the same diameter as the bash guard. Thus when you bash hard the inner plate takes the hit as well which can cause it to move. The roller is not wide enough. With the front in the granny the chain will bear on the roller. And this is with the correct bottom bracket setup. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $60.00 Purchased At: pricepoint Similar Products Used: First chain guide so take my review with a grain of salt. Bike Setup: Specialized Enduro Comp 130 2005, modified so it doesnt break.

from Bellingham, Washington, USA Date Reviewed: May 12, 2006 Strengths: Great guide, never drops a chain. Relativly light weight. The replacement rollers are cheap, but I havent had to buy one yet. The roller bearings stand up great to the mud that we get here in the Pacific North-West. Alot cheaper that a E-13 DRS, with the same performance. Weaknesses: A little difficult to mount on my bike. Blackspire web-site is pretty much useless.

from vancouver, bc Date Reviewed: April 1, 2004 Strengths: like jake said; if you're going forward it's awesome. Weaknesses: same thing happens to me. when i pedal packwards the chain drops to granny...i adjusted my front derailleur, even got a bike shop to look at it, and they say it's working fine. for one ride after a tune up it works, but then after that it goes back to dropping when i backpedal. so i guess it is just a product flaw.
