'Cheap and effective'
Strengths:
This litle device works exactly as advertised, giving smooth, precise shifting in even the muddiest conditions. Light and easy to clean. Range of colours.
Weaknesses:
No thus far.
Overall:
This little widget improved the rear shifts on my Marin FRS no end. I purchased one a year before Marin specced them as OEM on their bikes and it's proved to be very worthwhile. I think what helps most is that it allows for an ergonomically efficient cable run between the last cable stop and the rear mech. Setting up is a trial and error affair but simple enough.

'worth the money'
Strengths:
cheap
extremely effective
look good
reduces friction so especially good for griphifter like me
Weaknesses:
no
Overall:
really good - I have had two of these now now. The first was on my kona which got nicked, then on my azonic but i'd wouldn't have a bike without one now. They improve the shifting of any gears.

'EXCELLENT !!'
Strengths:
I couldn't get the full gear range on my nine speed untill I fitted this, now it's sweet
Weaknesses:
ten squid is a bit pricey, but worth it in hassle free changes
Overall:
simple gadget that works well by cutting out that killer loop of cable and makes gear changes easier and more positive.
I've only had it for a month that's why reliability only gets med

'BRILL'
Strengths:
i kept shearing cables so this turned the cable angle through 90 degrees and solved my problem.... makes shifting alot easier aswell
Weaknesses:
price.. i got mine for 3.99 though.
Overall:
brilliant well recommended for anyone who finds cable to go from frame to rear mech a bit short! get one of these!
