Strengths:    Precise machining and anodizing as is usual with Paul Components, very light, lots of adjustability.

Weaknesses:    Chain guide is very narrow, guaranteeing there will be some chain rub at the top or bottom of range when using a 1x9 set up. BB mount (version tested) could use some knurls on BB shell side to keep it from slipping while tightening BB cup.

Bottom Line:   
Works as advertised, but the rubbing is a little annoying. If the chain guide were about 2 millimeters wider, it would eliminate the rubbing and still not allow the chain to jump off. The middle 7 cogs work flawlessly. I am going to switch to SRAM 1x10, so I'll see if the narrower 10 speed chain plates help. The rubbing is not a deal breaker, as the wider guides (like the MRP) do allow the chain to jamb up sometimes. Like all Paul Components, this is a high quality piece, very precisely made and looks great. A little pricey, but high degree of adjustability in every direction makes it worth it.
