1\. 2020 Norco Sight: no issues fitting it but a rounded square chain stay and I also fitted it over my extra strip of 2228 tape (or RideWrap chain tape). Also have Ridewrap clear on the chain stay.
2\. Yes and quite precise obviously pays off. I took the view that the master link I was removing was the one that I would use multiple times during the measuring and checking phase (I think I threaded my chain maybe 6-8 times - cannot exactly recall but it is lots) so that I was able to 'pedal' and shift gears to check upper and lower tolerances. Then once I was finally totally happy with the STFU position I fitted a new master link for riding.
3\. If the gap is closer you could re-trim it shorter to fit if you go from bike to bike. But I doubt you can glue extra sections on if you trim too short (if you have even kept them) so see 2. above about carefully sizing before you commit to the final length/ height.
4\. Awesome. Two large zip ties per STFU piece. Give it a good pull with flat nose pliers to cinch them up nice and tight. Mine do not move at all.
5\. Not had any wiggle but I check it every time I do a full chain clean. Appears to be bomber and wearing well for 800+ km of Sea to Sky trail riding.
The STFU really does quieten the drive train down and totally worth the pfaff of fitting it. Getting another set for my Optic. Also doesn't appear to attract mud either which is a good thing.
