Rollamajig

I just saw a product in Performance Bicycle catalog for a "Rollamajig" which is supposed to make
more precise shifts and quiet the rear derailleur. Anyone use or know if this works?

It cuts the bend in the section of housing going to the rear derailleur. Does it work? Probably does
a little bit. I have one on my mtn bike, and none on the rest of my bikes. Can't tell a difference
between the 5 different bikes shifting wise.

Maybe it'd do better with a more extreme cable routing situation, but I certainly wouldn't pay more
than $5-10 for one.

It works for me! My Titus Switchblade was going through rear der. cables faster than Roseanne at a
pancake breakfast. Installed a Rollamajig ($10 at Pricepoint; yellow one for hardtail was $5 I
think), and it's been shifting fine ever since.
