from Bella Vista, Arkansas, USA Date Reviewed: September 23, 2008 Strengths: Easy to install Weaknesses: Weak spring makes the unit flop all over the place when riding. The chain is not tight enough because of the weak spring. My chain bounces all over...even hitting my tire. Ghost shifting due to chain slop. A piece of junk... My bike is unrideable & I've only had this one on for less than 2 months. I should never have used this instead of my traditional SRAM set-up. Now I remember why I went to SRAM in the 1st place. Bottom Line: Expand full review >>Favorite Trail: Porcupine Rim: Moab Duration Product Used: 3 months Price Paid: $35.00 Similar Products Used: SRAM products Bike Setup: Cannondale Gemini
