Among the many special touches we see on professional racing cyclist’s bicycles during the early season’s classics such as Paris-Roubaix and Tour of Flanders, when riders and machinery are subjected to some of the roughest roads in the world, are chain guards to stop chains dropping off the chainring.
Released at this year’s Paris-Roubaix, the K-Edge Chain Catcher is now being imported by wiggle and will be available at the end of July. The K-Edge is CNC machined from 6061 aluminium and weighs just 10g, a negligible weight penalty for avoiding dropped chains on the rough cobbles of Belgium (or the potholes of Surrey for that matter).
The K-Edge fixes to the front derailleur mount, and spacers and mounting hardware are supplied to ensure it fits different bikes and groupsets. Available in five colours; Gunmetal, Red, Blue, Black and Gold. It’ll set you back £26.99.
