Pro Road Chain Catcher Installation Instructions

(K13-002)

Description:

The K-Edge Pro Road Chain Catcher series is designed to eliminate chain drop on the lowest chainring due to hard shifts, cross-

chain shifting and or rough terrain while riding.

New features implemented over the original K13-001 include: compatibility with more frame types, lighter weight, easier installation,

chain snag reducing chamfers to chain side face, independent adjustability from front derailleur, and update to overall aesthetics.

Compatibility:

The K13-002 Pro Road Chain Catcher series is designed to fit braze-on front derailleur mounts (i.e. hard mounted to the frame with

the vertical adjustable slot and front radius) only with a double chainring crankset

Some frames with a hard mounted braze-on and vertical slot may have a 'flat' front face where a radius should be, this type of mount

will NOT

work with the mounting system of this chain catcher. If you do have this type of frame please contact K-Edge Support for a

possible solution/adapter.

Some braze-on clamp adapters may not be compatible with the mounting system of this chain catcher, a K-Edge Braze-On Clamp

adapter will be released in the near future to accommodate the new mounting system. If you need a braze-on mount adapter

contact either your local bike shop for a solution or K-Edge Support for availability.

The K13-002 Pro Road Chain Catcher series is currently NOT compatible with Campagnolo EPS Front derailleurs at this time. An

adapter will be released in the near future.

Warnings:

All K-Edge products are to be installed by a professional bike mechanic.

These instructions are generalized to accommodate a wide ranges of setups for a bike. If your setup does not match what is being

described, take extra care in the process of your setup and contact K-Edge Support if you have any questions.

Improper installation of any K-Edge product or use outside of its design intentions could lead not only to damaging the bike but could

also cause personal injury to the rider.

Troubleshooting: • Chain drops even though chain catcher is installed. o Check the chain catcher for proper adjustment. (Refer to Steps 5-8) o Check and ensure the chain catcher is approximately 0.5mm distance away from the chain itself. (Refer to Step 5) o Adjust the torque of the M4 MOUNTING BOLT so that it is not loose and is not allowing the chain to push the chain catcher inward towards the frame. (Refer to Steps 5-8) • There is a “clicking” sound while riding.
