What's wrong with a Dog Fang? I can only see these to be of use on frames with non-round seat tubes.

 

[mr-marty-martin]

dog fang's from what ive seen only catch the chain, they dont actualy direct the chain onto the ring when it drops down, and these do when you run them close enough

thats why brad wiggins uses them

 

[Will1985]

That's an incorrectly setup Dog Fang then. A proper one almost touches the side of the chain so there is no possibility of it dropping off.

 

[mr-marty-martin]

yeah put if it does drop of the bottom ring, wether it just does or its when it drops down from the big ring the chain can sit on the dog fang, and not get dirrected anywhere,

the k edge curve's down, so has no where at all for the chain to hang up on...simples

They do look pretty good, but £27. Also pretty useless if you run a band on mech.

 

[mr-marty-martin]

how there useless if you use a band on, it attaches by using a longer bolt, so when you bolt your mech to the band, the k edge sits in front of it and the bolt go's through it to the bolt...

Yes - but you'll need another 2.99 for the 'hard to fit kit', so we are now up to almost 30 quid! We need an enterprising (UK?) manufacturer/supplier to make one available at a reasonable price. By the way, the Dog Fang isn't without its' flaws - I couldn't get one that would fit my Ribble 7005SL frame without using a shim.

 

[mr-marty-martin]

you'll find most peaople have a longer bolt to fit somewhere in the box of bits...

£30 worth it, dropping a chain is bad crack, specialy with carbon, as it can rap around and damage the cabon, and how much did you pay for the frame...
