Chain Catcher
I just read about this product this morning and I'm wondering if anyone out there has heard anything about it or given it a try? Please let me know what you think! I don't drop my chain often, but it did happen during a race last year and I would love for it to never happen again.

I'm totally sending that link to a friend. Every time we ride he drops his chain a couple of times. The real reason is because his chain is all stretched out and he needs a new one.
step 1. Make sure derailleur is adjusted correctly. You shouldn't consistently be dropping the chain on the road. Rough, muddy situations, sure. Or what Kelli said: worn parts.
step 2. If you want one for your cross bike, I am your man. I have a similar one that came on my bike, but it won't fit the Guru. I took it off because on two occasions it did not stop the chain from coming off and was a real PITA to get back on.
step 3. they look like they would do the job anyway. Not sure where you can buy them in Van.
step 4. profit.
Where these would really pay off is as a preventative measure for your chain tearing through your uber light and delicate carbon fibre bottom bracket shell in the off chance that you do derail.
