Top Features of the K-Edge Hard to Fit Kit
The set that comes supplied with the Chain Catcher covers the majority of front derailleur configurations, but in some instances you may require the HFK kit.
- The HFK includes: 5mm spacer, 30mm bolt, radius washer, spare star and flat washers.
- Road
For most frame and front derailleur configurations, the standard hardware included with the K-Edge will be sufficient to properly mount the K-Edge. However we are aware of a couple of configurations where the Hard to Fit Kit (HFK) may be required.
Campagnolo: Most frame braze on mounts are curved to allow for proper front derailleur setup and adjustment. Because of the curved nature of the frame mount, a curved "radius washer" is required on the opposite side of the derailleur where the bolt attaches. Most, if not all Campy front derailleurs have this radius washer captive to the derailleur fixing bolt.
Frames with excessively oversized seat tubes: Cervelo R3, R3 SL, RS, and also the Ridley Noah have been found to require the 5mm spacer in the HFK for easier install and adjustment.
About Front Derailleurs
Various derailleur systems were designed and built as far back as the late 1800s. A French bicycle tourist, writer and cycling promoter Paul De Vivie (1853-1930), invented a two speed rear derailleur in 1905 which he used on forays into the Alps, and we wonder if 20 gears are enough. Since then there has been many advancements in the number of gears, materials and reductions in weight. Wiggle lists a large selection of front and rear derailleurs catering for double and triple systems with 7, 8, 9, 10 and even 11 speed cassettes.
About the K-Edge brand
K-Edge Cycling Solutions brand was born from one simple product, Kristin Armstrong’s Chain Catcher - later to be called K-Edge Chain Catcher. The K-Edge Chain Catcher is a purposeful design that was engineered for a single goal: help Kristin Armstrong win the Gold at the 2008 Olympic Games. While we wouldn’t be so arrogant to suggest the K-Edge was the reason Kristin took gold, it’s a common sense design that provides functional and mental advantages for high performance cyclists. The K-Edge is also perfect for anyone who likes to keep their chain in place, improve shifting performance, and protect their frame from damage caused by a derailed chain.
