Strengths: Works as advertised - stops 95% of chainslap in the roughest conditionsWeaknesses: Not sure yet - maybe a little finickyBottom Line: I've only ridden this twice, but it is an absolute game changer. It does a better job at stopping chainslap then my chain tensioner did, without the weight, drag and chain line penalty. If the durability and reliability are there, it will divide the bike world into two distinct eras - the old days when derailleurs did not stop chainslap, and the current state of the art - quiet chains that don't drop off the chainrings no matter how rough the terrain. I had read that the clutch puts a lot of resistance to shifting, but I did not notice any significant difference. I am using an XT shifter, and it feels (and works) just fine.
Let's face it, derailleurs have been pretty damn good since the invention of ramped cogs. There has been very little innovation since the early 90s - they shifted great then, and they shift great now. This is different. It adds a function that we all want - a quiet chain. For carbon frame owners, it's a must. I am sure SRAM will be introducing something similar (if not, it's buh bye SRAM).
