"Great product, I have since installed one on all my bikes and would recommend everyone to do so as well."Clempson
Ease of use
Very easy to use, once it is on the bike it works on its own.
Quality of Construction
Very good quality product. Machined from solid aluminum and comes in a variety of colors to match your frame or components.
Fit
Very adjustable on installation. There is a serrated plate interface which helps hold the catcher in place and prevents movement over time.
Adjustability
Very adjustable for use on every bike frame and crank.
Durability
I don't see this thing going bad over time, you will replace your crank before you would ever have to replace the chain catcher.
Value
I dropped chains in several races and training rides before looking for a solution. Since I have started using it I no longer have this problem. Worst case scenario i just pedal the chain back onto the small ring.
Appearance
Very nice finish and a variety of colors available.
Performance
Works perfectly. I haven't had a chain drop since installing.
Strengths
Great product that can save you a lot of time and prevent damage to your chain and frame if you get a chain drop.
Weakness
Installation can be difficult for anyone who doesn't like messing with or adjusting the front derailleur.

Ease of installation
The installation can be a little tricky unless you want to learn how to adjust your front derailleur since you have to remove it to add the chain catcher. It used a single fastener and shim which replaces your original front derailleur and shim.
