I had that NDC on my Grom for 16,800 with religious chain adjustments every 250mi (so 67ish adjustments) and never one had a c-clip issue like you mentioned; thing worked perfect and wouldn't hesitate to buy another one.
You do a great job breaking down the why and how to on these type of videos. Honestly, this is such a huge help to the Grom community. 2.6k subs! Woohoo, and great job, Alex. You're doing a great job with your channel. Eric
I have those NDC adjusters on my Grom and so far, I haven't had any issues with them. However, I only used them a couple of times since I don't ride as often anymore. In theory, when you tighten the chain, there is no load on the retaining clip. However, when you loosen the chain, there is thrust on the clip. I can see how they can pop off but if you push the bolt/ allen key inwards, it should alleviate that issue. I haven't personally tried this out, but it's worth considering
True, I probably should clarify that tightening the chain will pull the tension forward and wouldn't pop the bolt out, moreso when you loosen the chain. Still not something I want in an aftermarket chain adjuster.
Completely understandable. We work hard to purchase these things and it's always good to hear differing opinions. Who knows, maybe when I use it more, I'll run into the same issues that you had

Any reason you didn’t end up with TST adjusters?
Because I didn't think to look at TST, haha
@@lexdfox 👍 just wanted to be sure
Probably going with a different manufacturer
TST would be a better pick....
