Bought this after seeing it on a friend's bike and having been impressed with my K-Edge out front Garmin mount. However, the next time I saw him he'd replaced it with a SRAM chain catcher. Whilst the K-Edge Pro is very well made, super easy to install and lightweight, his complaint was with the chain pushing the catcher back resulting in scratches to his frame above the BB area. This was despite following the instructions/ max torque settings. The SRAM chain catcher (IMO) uses a better, more secure design with the adjustment bolt butting up to the derailleur screw mount.
Product Details
K-Edge Pro Road Chain Catcher
A simple precision-made component that provides valuable insurance against front derailleur malfunctions. K-Edge's Pro model is easier to fit and allows for independent adjustment of the front mech and chain catcher.
Used to good effect by top professional riders in the Olympic Games, World Championships, Tour de France, Giro d'Italia, Paris Roubaix and many more.
The K-Edge Pro Road Chain Catcher acts as a ramp to guide your chain and virtually eliminates the possibility of your chain dropping off the small chainring onto the bottom bracket, helping to protect your frame and keep you in gear. Highly recommended to prevent structural damage to carbon and aluminium frames, but also protects the finish of any other frame material.
K-Edge products are proudly CNC machined in the USA and have a Lifetime warranty: you break it, they'll replace it

Reviews
I much prefer the pro verson of this chain catcher because you separately adjust the front mech and then adjust the position of the chain catcher using a different screw once it is secure. This is so much better than trying to align the mech and the chain catcher with a single bolt as in the standard model. This is third I have bought for different bikes. Its a bit pricey but well worth it.

Q & A
4 questions answered
Does this chain catcher include the longer bolt for fitting to a SRAM red axs FD?
Hi there, Yes it will, Many thanks Joe W
Hi, Wil this chain catcher fit on a Specialized Roubaix with the Specialized Roubaix SWAT Road Kit in place? (i.e. the box that fits above BB)
Hi Simon, I can't see any reason why this wont fit your setup, Many thanks Joe W
What is the difference / use case between this product and the cheaper double chain catcher (also by K edge)? Thanks
Hello, Thanks for your question - the Pro model is much easier to adjust and it can be adjusted independently of the front mech, it's also slightly longer. Kind Regards, Oliver
