<p>Hi, thanks, I used this pic to get my setup to work as well. One additional piece of knowledge here, you can also use a cam from a quick-release as the concave cylinder, as long as that quick release is external, as in a Salsa quick release. I found one at my local for $1. This is lighter than the Seat post version (which I got from a co-op, but the threading was too big). For what its worth, its a 5mm bolt that ships with the K-Edge, and the K-Edge now comes with the needed convex piece…</p>

I took this thread on my smart phone to the bike shop, explained the idea, and they other ideas too. I have an extra convex spacer (from the co-op) if you need one gdogg.</p> Yep, I think the piece behind…tag:cowbell.cxmagazine.com,2011-12-30:1198434:Comment:1234552011-12-30T17:29:32.787Zgdogghttps://cowbell.cxmagazine.com/profile/gdogg
<p>Yep, I think the piece behind is did come from a seatpost. The piece in front has a curved face to it. I think it came off of a derailleur. </p>

<p>Excellent! This is more what I was looking for. From what I can tell it looks like a seat post clamp nut on the back side of the mount (?). Can you tell me more abut the spacer between the mount and the chain catcher?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>This is what I rigged up to allow for use of a braze-on K Edge Chain Catcher on my Trek Cronus.

<p>A method I have done to make a cheap conversion is the chainring on the inside of the crank with a bash guard outside. Then adjust the limit screws accordingly to lock out the fr. der. My Specialized CRUX Pro is doing fine that way. Haven't dropped a chain yet. And If I want gears, switch out the gaurd for a ring, adj. the screws and viola. I am looking for function though, not weight savings.</p>

<p>I don't know about the braze-on location but, I use Pauls chain keeper/guide on both my mt bike and my cx bike. Neither one of of my bikes have braze-ons though. I tried MRP, N-Gear jump stop and some other poorly designed (it had a post and a derailler pulley) chain guide first and none were satisfactory. In my case, the Pauls has worked 99% perfectly.</p>
