dummy hub for bike cleaning?

[tv_vt]

Think I have the Pedro's one, too. Works ok. I just leave it in the wash bucket with brushes, degreaser, etc. I like that PRO model.

I have wanted to buy one of these but now with TA and QR bikes it would be kind of annoying because I know I would want both. Its one of those tools that you don't really need but I know once I got it I would want to use it always.

As far as taking the chain off, I think it has worked well enough for you to only take it off when its ready to go into the garbage. I am going to say I am btw you and the people that constantly take it off. I will remove it a few times during the chains life... if there is a muddy ride I will definitely do it. I also have that park tool chain cleaner which I will be honest, I hate to use and I think you can get the chain just as clean with a rag.

I have one like this for washing my bike....had the pedros plastic one and it fell apart after a couple years. The tab there is for inserting into your disc brakes so they don't close.

IIRC, they came in a set with a front one too, so they can be used for shipping

yes, that one looks good. any idea what brand that is?

Sorry about that, it's a Birzman Rear Disc Transport/Chain Keeper Device (front available as well). I bought my pair at Universal.

Update!

How the hell did i live without one of these? Bought a generic branded one for like 10 bucks, and it is BRILLIANTLY good. Shift through the RD range no problem, rock solid, etc.

Man, everyone needs one of these.

Should be handy for transporting in cars that require removing both wheels too.

I have one of these:

I have one of those and it it super simple and works great for cleanup and lube. That Chainlift thingy looks way too over engineered and complicated.
But I prefer mechanical shifting, exterior cables, rim brakes, and quick releases. Plus I’m frugal (and old).

My preference is to purchase things ONCE and have them last a good long time.
Quality, simplicity, and durability are what "win the day" for me, anyway.

That tool from Chainlifter appears to get chain way out of the way, yet looks fragile.
Between the Abbey, the Feedback Sports, and the Butter models, which is best?

the one i posted is perfect, and there is pretty much zero chance it will ever break or malfunction. the abbey looks nice, but sometimes there really is no need to get the overdesigned tool when the simple one works just fine.

Well, it would certainly match my red cleaning/repair stand.

I have one from Park Tools that looks identical to OP’s (but blue). For thru axles you just take off the donut and slide that onto the axle. Super easy.
