from MONTANA Date Reviewed: March 1, 2012 Strengths: CHEAP Weaknesses: CHEAP. I run a 1x +bash and was expecting this to help with the chain jump issue. It does if the trail is smooth. Once it gets rough or I jump around abit, my chain still leaves, problem is now its stuck under the chain stop. I have run it as tight as you can with no avail. The chain will still get under it and that is a pain. A lot of ride time lost Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: DEADMANS Duration Product Used: 1 Year Price Paid: $10.00 Purchased At: JENSON Similar Products Used: None. I did try the disengaged deraileur trick and that worked better, but not perfect Bike Setup: Ellsworth Isis with stylo 32t up front and 11-36 in rear. Oh yeah, you can do that. Haro Escape, hardtail, same drive

from Austin, TX, USA Date Reviewed: November 17, 2005 Strengths: Stops overshifting, period. Easy to adjust. Well designed. Resists corrosion. Protects the beautiful paint job on my road bike from chain damage. Amazing warranty - if it every fails, they replace it or give your your money back. I love that. Weaknesses: I didn't have it adjusted right, and the chain slipped past and was hard to get back. That was my fault -- once I adjusted it correctly, I have never had another over-shift. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Duration Product Used: More than 3 years Price Paid: $10.00 Purchased At: www.n-gear.com Similar Products Used: Third-Eye Chain Watcher (which really, really sucked) Bike Setup: Road and mountain bikes both.

from Okemos, Michigan, USA Date Reviewed: April 28, 2005 Strengths: **Significantly** reduces the frequency of chain jumps. Weaknesses: Plastic mounting with a thumb-screw is rather flimsy. The protective plate may be pushed or bent. On occasions the chain still jumps and gets locked under the Jump-Stop plate. Pulling the chain out usually bends a link or two! Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: street Duration Product Used: 2 Years Price Paid: $10.00 Purchased At: http://www.gvtc.com/~ngear/ Similar Products Used: None. Bike Setup: Hybrid Trek 730 with a rather range of rings (22-44) and cogs (11-34), making occasionally the chain lose and susceptible to jumping. Bottom bracket is w/o flanges, so I cannot try the AJS FrameGuard.

from Wiltshire, UK Date Reviewed: April 9, 2005 Strengths: Light, unobtrusive, effective, simple to fit & use. Beautifully designed. It works really, really well - I don't bother setting the inner adjustment screw on my derailleur anymore - this does the job, only much better. I fitted a more modern front derailleur recently which had a much bigger cage, and all I had to do was lower the Jump Stop a couple of mm, and it continues to work just fine. Nick at N-gear was *very helpful*. You won't find better service anywhere. Weaknesses: None found so far. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Palatine Forest Preserve Duration Product Used: Less than 1 month Price Paid: $10.00 Purchased At: From http://www.gvtc.com/~ngear/ Similar Products Used: Tektro Anti-Chain Suck Device...although as Nick rightly pointed out - this is to address a completely different chain issue (which in my recent experience is clearly a less common problem than derailment during down shifts). Bike Setup: Cannondale SM700 (c. 1991), Shimano LX & DX (& now XT front derailleur). Early road/triathlon grip shift for front shifts.
