Found a post on riding gravel - it sums up my issues exactly. I've had a couple of scary descents with a dropped chain (scratched the hell out of the cranks) and just yesterday managed to get the lower pulley wedged with the chain when it dropped. I'm taking the punt on the roadlink in hope that less B screw adjustment will give more chain tension. Thoughts? Silly idea?

I only installed it to give me a little more chain tension as the chain has been dropping off the bottom of the chainring on bumpy roads. Regardless, when I installed the RoadLink, it really didn't change anything as far as shifting or hitting, or losing, any gears.
So my problem is dropping chains - I think mostly because of a lack of spring tension on the RD.
