Where to put the chain when changing the wheel? Hobby mechanics usually only ask themselves this question when the oily chain link is already hanging limply over the right-hand chain stay and smearing the paintwork. The Thru-Axle Chain Keeper prevents this mishap. Simply slide the roller onto the thru-axle and place the chain in the appropriate recess.
In this way, the chain floats contact-free above the frame stay and can be rotated with the crank, for example for cleaning and lubrication. According to the manufacturer, the practical part is made of robust bio-plastic and fits over any thru-axle for road or gravel bikes thanks to its 12 millimetre hole.
