Strengths:
Solid performer - I have not even come close to losing my chain.
Weaknesses:
Noisy when 1st installed - it goes away as the upper guide wears in. I bashed into some rocks hard this weekend and my guard is crazy-cracked severely. It is still together, but I'm not sure for how long. I droppped a note to e13 - I'll post the response.

Bike Setup:

Bottom Line:
I plan to replace this with the same unit, and am hoping e13 will offer a decent deal. It was installed by my LBS with a torque wrench for those curious...
Even with a broken ring it's still the best system out there by far, but I've got to give 4 overall since I broke it.

Bottom Line:
this guide is magical. im a big guy and i have bumped and bashed the guard and it take everything. It is also good for grinding because it is quite slippy plastic. There is no other guard out there that gives the same amount of protection to your chain ring and with the same light weight design.
