Works great! Dropped a chain at the beginning of a great start at Corn Cross and decided I didn't want that to be a thing anymore. Only thing I didn't realize was that I needed to buy the front mech hanger to attach it to, and install on my Crux which was another solid chunk of change. Still totally worth it--I'm sure it saved me at a few of the very bumpy courses this year. Very easy to install and adjust.

A little over 10 years ago I was still riding a double chainring CX bike. Up until the last lap, I was able to ride everything in the big ring but my legs were screaming and I clicked down to get some relief. Nothing happened. My front derailleur was full of mud and grass and the chain stayed on the big ring as I suffered up the hill. It was in that moment that I decided to ditch the front derailleur and begin a new struggle ' the struggle to keep the chain on the ring.
While the narrow-wide and clutch/tension systems work well most of the time ' they failed me at the worst possible times: attacking off the front or desperately trying to stay attached. I've tried many of the options; some couldn't handle the full range of the cassette, some were heavy and clunky, and some just didn't keep the chain on.
The GnarWolf has, so far, kept my chain on and allows the full range of my 11-32 cassette.
