Re: Chain catcher?
Good link!
As it happens ............... I took it off Mercian some years back. The chain unships from time to time, but if I'm careful, it doesn't at all. I sometimes think about putting it back on, but never get off my bum to do it.
Moulton has a triple chainset as well, and that NEVER unships. 61/48/34

Probably cos it's permanently on the 34 chain ring!!
Re: Chain catcher?
You are joking of course.
I have always used all gears available. Living here, we have downs and ups and some flat bits.

A few years on and I’m still recommending the Jump Stop, though the number of bikes I have that need it has reduced to one.

Re: Chain catcher?
Jumpstop seems wonderful. Excellent design ............. except it has a black plastic clamp.
It would look wrong on a brightly coloured bike with everything else shiny silver alu.

You mean like a metallic purple bike?

Don't matter what the colour of the frame is.
If all the fixtures and fittings are black, then a black clamp is fine.
If all the fixtures and fittings are shiny silver, then a single black one on a coloured frame would look very much out of place.
Black frame would be ok though.

My lad had a Deda Dog Fang on his CX bike:-

You could always paint it with spray chrome for plastics.
That usually comes out looking like polished aluminium.
Re: Chain catcher?
Yes, I've been considering that. I have an aerosol can of "chrome" paint.
Now, do we have a link to the Jumpstop from a UK supplier?
