Great idea and I too have never heard of one until recently. If I had to make a choice between another cog and the functionality, I would pick the cog. Once you learn how to insert a wheel it is not a problem. I do like the peg on the chainstay. I have on on my RockHopper and use it every time. It does help.
I would be curious what the opinion is for those who are into touring. If they had to make a choice, which would they choose? I can understand the view of giving up the 11th cog for it however.
Beech333. It has to be smooth to be able to use it with the lever and the crank. At least the range of the SR DR is wide enough to accept both a cog or the Portacatena!
