K-Edge Chain Catcher

[two_third]

Its a very simple design but is very effective. The chain catcher features two bolts. The top one is used to fit your front mech to the braze-on front mech hanger as normal, but also is of such a shape that it stops the chain catcher moving at all. The lower bolt actually secures the chain catcher to the adapter between it and the braze-on front mech hanger.

The key in set-up is to set the chain catcher as close to your little chainring as possible without any interference in any way, so we’d recommend that you’d best test it by honking out of the saddle in your smallest gear…

If you want proof that the Madison Genesis Team pros use them, well here’s one on this Dura Ace equipped, Reynolds 953 steel team bike we spotted at Ice Bike…

There’s not much more to say. In theory we should all have a K-Edge Road Chain Catcher on every bike we own – or at least the ones we really care about, which should be every bike we own. Its so simple, relatively cheap, very effective and you will forget its there. If you don’t have one, then like with the 853 frame in the photos, or like Andy Schleck and numerous others at the crucial moment in a race, you may regret it…

Retail price for the Road version we used in this review is £29.99, but they have versions to fit all frames and front mech hangers at various price points.

You can see the K-Edge Road Chain Catcher range on the Madison Website.
