Finally figured out why my chain was dropping on the stand after 6 months

Swapped from a generic Park Tool chain keeper to a Wolf Tooth one and it held the chain steady through a full cassette swap, has anyone else had better luck with third party chain guides over the name brand stuff?

Right? Park Tool stuff slips loose, Wolf Tooth or K-Edge never has that problem for me.

What did you torque that Park Tool one to before it slipped?

Swapped from a generic Park Tool chain keeper to a Wolf Tooth one" - yeah I had the EXACT same issue with my Park Tool one. I switched over to a K-Edge chain guide after it kept dropping on descents and it's been rock solid ever since. Third party stuff just seems to hold the chain tighter where it counts, mine never slips even when I'm bouncing around on rocky stuff.
