I've never used a Columbine Quikchainger before, but an seat stay chain hanger peg requires the chain to be manually put on the peg. That means using a tool or stick or your fingers to do it. Assuming the peg is well positioned and your rear derailleur can take up all the slack when the wheel is removed, the chain will be under some tension which will hold it firmly in place. I usually put the chain on the peg before and after removing the rear wheel so the chain never rests on the right chain stay or any other part of the bike except the peg.
If the Quikchainger keeps the chain taut when the wheel is removed, I'd say it's more convenient since you never have to touch the chain at all. Others who've used it can confirm the facts. For me, it's all about keeping the chain under tension when the rear wheel is removed so the chain doesn't flop around, get my bike greasy, etc. Paul On Friday, July 18, 2014 2:51:06 AM UTC-7, Tim wrote: > > I bought a Roadeo from a list member and it has a catcher on the chainstay > and I love it.
