Strengths:
keeps chain on most of the time
Weaknesses:
flimsy, bends easily, makes annoyin noises in high gears due to chain rub, IMPOSSIBLE to set up as you have to tighten about 4 or 5 bolts at the same time, move one bit and the whole thing goes out of line. also, it sometimes lets the chain off and gets it stuck between the chain cage and ring, lucky its so easy to bend because it wouldnt come out otherwise, still takes ages though. not a good design.

Bike Setup:
rock shox, deore lx 9spd stuff, tioga factory 2.3 tyres, rhyno lite rim, avid, specialized stuff, etc.
Bottom Line:
do not buy new, its WELL not worth it, about 25 quid. i wouldnt pay more than 10 for it. even better, why not get something to keep your chain on, like some sort of pulley wheel shaped device?

Strengths:
kind of keeps your chain on if u set it up properly
Weaknesses:
when going from 1 side of the cassette to the other it rubs and makes a well annoyin sound, rubs on my tyre
Pretty crap to be honest, but for the money it has to be expected. It looks like something out of a Meccano set or a GCSE engineering project. Not the best design by any means, but if set up properly and not whacked with a stray foot it does the job. Sometimes.

Weaknesses:
CHEAP!! this thing bends SO easily. i'm glad i didn't pay money for it.
Bike Setup:
sram 8speed, norco 250.
Bottom Line:
well, it works, but if you catch it with a pant leg or something, it's screwed. period, it is really flimsy. but it works. i don't know what kind of value it might be because i didn't pay for it, but i was told it costs around 45-50 U.S. bucks. not worth it.

Strengths:
It looks pretty cool i guess
Weaknesses:
VERY hard to set up, one little knock means you need to re-adjust. chain rubs an awful lot. Cheap materials, says its strong but is weak.
Similar Products Used:
none, but ive just purchased a MRP slalom device.
Bike Setup:
Custom made slalom frame, bomber z5's, hydraulic rim brakes. Dmr seat, 24/7 bar and stem combo, the usual jump/slalom/downhill.
Bottom Line:
Dont even think of buying this, it may work well for a while but the chain will always fall off, and it will brake very easily, the cage metal is cheap, and the bolts and flimsy. Overall crap.
