Is their such a thing? 2 rings up front (22/36)
Blackspire Stinger works for me.
ebay, last week I picked up an E13 2RS for about £15.
Superstar? (Awaits Octoporn)
Yup, that's the one I have. Actually slightly nicer than my Blackspire one (I think it's Blackspire) 'cos it has two bearings in the roller rather than just one.
Though the roller is a nicer shape in the Blackspire. Swings and roundabouts, I guess.
If you read the superstar reviews they say it doesn't come with a stepped roller which seems like it would make it a bit useless for using with a granny ring.. I almost got one til I saw that.

Probably doesnt matter too much, if your in the granny gear the chances are you'll be pedalling at a slow speed uphill, where the chain is unlikely to drop anyway.
I purchased the Superstar double chain device five weeks ago, and after a bit of messing about putting two bends in the backing plate to line it up on my Orange 5, I really cannot fault it. Not had any wet/muddy rides yet, so can't comment in those conditions. Also, I have not noticed any extra noise from my drivetrain, which surprised me.
tom, I use it with my granny ring with no issues, so I'd suggest you go for one!
no iscg tabs on the heckler - which do i require? presume the bb and ISCG tab one?
the bb mounted one.
