I had one on my old frame. You do need to either face off the mounting tabs properly or shim them. Its not that hard to do, just make sure you do it.
The system works well and does what it should do. It is heavier, but not enough to notice when riding. If you want a plummet and winch bike, or are going to ride round the Alps or tough trails on it then its great.
I liked mine, I only took it off to 1×10 because I wanted to up my fitness and 1×10 forced me into it.
Bad points are that it will need cleaing out if you ride in wet muddy conditions. Cleaing it is easy, just takes time and the tool. So if your not going to use it all winter then your fine. If you do want to use it in the sloppy crappy british winter (spring & autum) then you will need to take it apart and clean it.
I still have mine and the service tool, if you want Im happy to sell them to you. Im sticking with 1×10 now.
