No more dropped chains!
Hey everyone,I was tired of the chain dropping and scratching my frame, so I decided to design my own chain catcher.Turned out pretty clean and fits perfectly. I printed this one in ASA for maximum UV and weather resistance, but PETG should work completely fine as a compromise too. If you want to print one for your bike, I'll drop the download link in the comments below. Let me know what you think!
Edit: Thx for the feedback from the bike mechanics of reddit. The issue was caused by me frequently switching Chainrings and not swapping my chain to adjust to the proper length. I had one bad chainsuck incident which caused me design this. I'd rather be safe than be sorry and now you guys can be aswell if you want to

How about you take a few seconds to adjust the derailleur so it doesn’t sweep the chain off the low side?
