I always look forward to Rene Herse's April Fools Journal. They always offer a new product with a very sincere parody of their own product descriptions describing why it's good. This one was particularly convincing ( I thought)
It was especially on-target in that the forthcoming Roaduno is largely going to be a 3x1, and could be achieved with no tensioner, if we employ the very fake-product that Rene Herse is describing. It's brilliant!
It's a shame that Rene Herse has comments disabled everywhere they post things. I know it's because people are such jerks "in the comments", but it would have been really entertaining to see the comments section for this one.
I might go make one of these bearing, chain-keepers.
