More to come.

I asked Urbane about this. When I asked my LBS about it, he commented that he thought it would make a racket because it indeed rides on the chain

the (very helpful) lady at Urbane said it "floats" on the chain more than drags. She promised silence. Can't wait to hear what you think. It'll be a month before I have my bike together.
