Didn't work for him. Never worked for me. All I've ever seen that do is jam the chain, making it more difficult to put back on. Regardless, it had nothing to do with the choice of equipment, or a mix of different brands, which was what I was responding to initially. And, in the end, it didn't effect the final outcome of the Tour. IMO.
