Any reason to think this wouldn't be sufficient? For $12 i figure its worth a shot, anyone pick one of these up? At about 25% of a k edge, i think im going to give it a shot

but the fit and bend of the product needs to be right to do the job. and i might be suspicious that this el cheapo looks ok in photos but might not install just right on the bike. i have a Kedge braze on that is their triple model that i think will work just fine on doubles. $15 shipped to your door for mine.

^^^I would just grab Eddie's KEdge for 1/2 price…otherwise I use the cheap Origin 8 one, which works just fine.

The cheap one will probably work just fine. That said, I won't buy something forgin if there is a reasonable American made version. My vote is K-Edge.

Agreed. I bought a cheap one several years ago and it seems to do the job. That was back before k edge dropped their prices. $15 vs $45 was hard to swallow for a chunk of aluminum I don't need. Now that k edge is a more reasonable $20, I wouldn't look elsewhere.

get the ngear jumpstop. works well, inexpensive, and adjustment is completely independent of the fd.
