    Need to get one of these fairly sharpish. I know Slane cycles do them but is there anywhere closer I can pick one up.


    @Dave2pd; I tried the email for that N-gear but got nowhere.

    Cycle Superstore has them.

    I'm not sure of the brand but I saw them there today in two different sizes.

    @ Dave......I found a few on e-bay but can't really wait for delivery as I can't go the top of the cassette without it dropping

    Chain dropping is usually a symptom of other issues. Don't ignore them by using a dog fang (which has no real reason to exist). Fix what causes the chain to drop.

    Right.

    Some issues:
    • Bumpy surfaces
    • Aggressive shifting of front and rear simultaneously
    • Chain and/or ring wear

    Keep in mind that pro mechanics frequently fit these to riders' bikes.

    I have found the prob!!! one of the joints where the bolt has goes thru has snapped. It had snapped before and I thought I had rejoined it but it has broken again and I can push that part of the rings with my finger so I would imagine that it would move quite a bit when I push down with my feet and the chainline is at the top of the spider arms and is the one just in front of the pedal so when the chainline is slightly 'strained' and I push down the 2 front rings moved and caused the chain to follow. Problem solved by picking up a nice 2nd hand set of cranks over the weekend.
    Gives me time now to order the Ngear and wait for it to arrive from the states or UK
