What is so wrong about the dog fang type?

What is so wrong about the dog fang type?

They are okay and better than having nothing at all. I have them on two of my bikes, but they are not 100% fool proof as I've discovered on more than one occasion. On the other hand, the N-gear by nature of its design is pretty much perfect, never had any issues with the bike that has it fitted or should I say had. It was on a bike that had a triple chain set and the dam thing was very prone to chucking the chain off when dropping down to the inner most ring.

I've never had a problem with dog fang chain catchers myself, they've always worked.

(I was going to write that I've never had a problem with dog fangs myself, but as one bit my finger tip off recently...)

Did you see my home made one on the forum posted yesterday under What have you fettled with today ? Made from a cycle light clamp.It works and cost me nothing. Just a thought.

Or just fit a another smaller chainring on the inside of your chainset - it'll catch the chain AND give you a whole nother set of gears! I think I might patent this idea and call it something catchy like 'Grandad Ring' or summat.

I got one last year from Condor - £7.99 for the 31.8mm clamp size;

Nowt, had one on my Surly but think the K Edge type look a bit neater. Anyway can’t find a K Edge or similar so a dog fang went on today.
