Or a shower cap, or a Frisbee with a slit cut in it. Or any piece of thin piece of plastic really. This one below looks like it could work as well.

 

I like that it can catch the crud coming off the chain

I think the only people rocking up at a braai with a long pant are vegans at a vegan braai vegetable fire roast meal

Thanks, I think I’ll be adding one of these to my Amazon basket.

I am in the habit of using a brush to clean chains etc on my bike.

I like to blast some WD40 on afterwards just to displace any water though and before lubing the chain.

[Eddy Gordo]

Can also use an airline from a compressor to blow out water from tough spots, then use a brush to apply lube etc. Alot of people wont agree, but this works well for me.

Picked up this morning - 1st test tomorrow...

[Zebra]

...picked up a Park Tool speed-link chain splitter tool; i did teach myself how to do it with pump plyers, but it was fiddly, so bought the right tool for the job!

 

Around R295; the cheaper alternative tool was only R40 less, so went for Park!

After my tools and stuff i carried on my bike went missing when it got appropriated...i just reverted to this method...works fine, just slightly more faffing involved than with a proprietary tool. a long cable tie works too. Edited October 27, 2020 by morneS555

2.5mm thick weed eater cord also works.

 

Whilst cleaning the bike during lockdown I remembered the shoe lace trick and the weed eater cord was all I had at my disposal, there is now a 300mm long piece of it in my cycling tools tool box.
