Questions & Answers
The Dog Fang will fit correctly if it is sized according to the diameter of the seat post (on which it will be mounted). The posts should have a circumference of 115mm for a 35mm seat post. A diameter of 110mm equals 14 times 35, and the circumference equals pi times the diameter.

I purchased a Bob Jackson Olympus steel frameset and equipped it with Campagnolo Chorus 10 speed components last year. Everything had been running smoothly until I recently rode over a - Let's call it - To get to a bike lane, you'll have to cross an 'undeveloped' section of land. I wasn't paying attention to what was going on around me. When I went into this 5 meter wide section in the big ring, the chain shifted unexpectedly off the large chainring, past the small chainring, and onto the bottombracket shell, and when I went to power up the other side of this depression, it shifted unexpectedly off the large chainring, past the small chainring, and onto the bottombracket shell. As a result, there's a bit of a road-trip going on. My left knee/shin has a rash and some scrapes. as a result of my swerving over the front-end-end-end-end-end-end-end-end-end bars on the left There was no real harm done, but it did highlight a need (aside from paying closer attention to such short offroad excursions). When manufacturers first switched to the narrow 9-inch format, I remember how excited I was. In the 1990s, there was a lot of talk about high-speed drivetrains. They had a Dog Fang that sat beneath the front derailleur and prevented the chain from slinking all the way down to the bottombracket shell in the event of a bad downshift. Back in the Good Old Days(tm) of 6-years-ago, this was never an issue. Regina Del Oro freewheels and Sedisport chains are fast, but that's the way the world works these days. I measured the circumference of the seat tube with a small tape measure and divided that number by pi to get the diameter. This was a huge success. After that, don't bother looking for instructions on how to mount a Dog Fang that came with your order. There are no guidelines to follow. I couldn't find them on the Deda website (the link to download instructions on their Dog Fang page instead takes you to a generic handlebar installation instruction sheet). As I recall, you mount them with the 'fang' facing forward and turning it inward so that it is about 1mm from the sideplates of your chain and about 1-inch from the ground. 2mm higher than the teeth of the chainring The Dog Fang will coax the chain back onto the small ring if it tries to slip between the small chainring and the frame. It's physically impossible for the chain to come completely off as it did during my review. In any case, it's an excellent item. simple, effective, and light (for all you carbon-conscious types out there). weight-loss fiber-enhanced weenies) and is simple to set up.
This Dog Fang is a simple but effective device that prevents this. It seals the gap between the seat tube and the inner chainring, causing the chain to land on the smaller chainring rather than the bottom bracket shell. br>br>It isn't particularly attractive, but it is well-made, long-lasting, and simple to put together. I would have preferred a metric socket head screw, but the slot head suffices; it's cheap insurance against missed shifts and damage caused by a chain snagging on the top of the bottom bracket shell.
I took a look at the various chain catchers that connect to the FD attachment bolt, and they all seem a little fiddly, and I'm not sure I'm sold on the idea of attaching something that's supposed to take impacts to the FD. They're also at least double the price. This device is ridiculously simple, lightweight, performs admirably, and remains out of the way.
To ensure that you order the correct size, measure the diameter of your seat post; installation instructions can be found on YouTube.
Super affordable, simple to install, and uncomplicated. I put one of these on my steel all-road bike, and it works well without causing too much trouble. I've never dropped a chain in a 50-mile gravel road race.
e. when I'm riding). I'm going uphill now! That problem is solved by this little bad boy. On the bike, however, I was having trouble getting the screw to engage in the threads. Is it possible that the paint on my bike is excessively thick?.
Either my chain has been particularly cooperative for some time, or this thing actually works. Since I installed this thing, I haven't had to claw my chain out of the inside of my chainring on the side of the road on my way to work.
