In our pursuit to emulate our heroes of the Euro peloton we've taken to certain activities -- we snip the elastic bands off our jersey sleeves; we're sure to litter our empty GU packets on the roadside; when we blow snot on our faces, we don't completely wipe it off; and, perhaps most importantly, when we downshift chainrings we never ever ever drop our chain between our small ring and our BB shell. How do we do it? Simple: We've got the Deda Dog Fang installed on our seat tube. Look closely at the bike porn you see on cyclingnews.com -- do you oftentimes see a tiny black band just below the front derailleur on pro bikes? It's a Dog Fang -- a simple plastic band with what appears to be an inch-long tooth positioned to the inside of your small ring. The concept is simple: If you overshift when going from big-to-small ring, the plastic tooth prevents the chain from coming off the small ring. The noise it'll make won't be pretty. But it'll keep you from dropping your chain & getting dropped from the peloton.
The Dog Fang is available in 3 sizes. These sizes represent its inside diameter. Please measure the outside diameter of your seat tube below your front derailleur clamp (or braze-on tab). Choose the Dog Fang whose size is larger than your seat tube OD.
