Initial Thoughts on: Fouriers Carbon Chain Catcher
By : Chris Sontag
Packaging:
The chain catcher came in a small plastic package along with the mounting
hardware and instructions.
Installation:
The chain catcher bolts inline with the braze on front derailleur. You place
the bolt through a washer, then through the chain catcher, then through a large
spacer and the curved spacer for the frame mount, and finally into the front
derailleur. Some finesse and trial and error is required to align both the
front derailleur and the chain catcher correctly.
First Use:
After reinstalling my front derailleur I did not correctly readjust the limits
of the front derailleur. Despite this mis-adjustment I never had my chain fall
of when shifting!
Feedback:
The chain catcher looks fantastic and is very light! If I were to improve the
product I would make a way to be able to adjust it separate from the front
derailleur. I propose a new part that would allow this.
