Fits 5-bolt, 110mm BCD crankarms fine.
Does what it's supposed to do: gives us mere mortals and/or Clydesdale (read: portly) riders a chance to get over hills without having to dismount and walk, or grind our knees into paste. Best paired with a large sprocket at the back for a good bailout gear combination.

Large ink capacity...if it fits.
Fitted to my Pilot Custom Heritage 91, and works flawlessly. The push-button mechanism allows for easy one-handed filling (just grip the pen by the section and press on the button rapidly), and stores a healthy amount of ink (1.0 - 1.1mL going by official literature).
Initial fitting may be a bit snug in a CH91 though, so care must be taken when removing the barrel to not accidentally dislodge the converter (if you're tempted to just yank the unscrewed barrel clear of the rest of the pen). Not an issue otherwise.
Flushing remaining ink out of the converter also takes a bit of time, as the converter's contents don't seem to spurt out cleanly when the button is pressed (unlike the screw mechanisms on the CON40/50 where you get equal movement both in drawing up and expelling the contents of the converter. May need to detach the converter and flush it with an eyedropper for a thorough clean (even between fills).
Pros: Great ink capacity, extremely easy to fill
Cons: Minor hassle to flush/clean (compared to CON40/50)
