Sports Chain Keeper

As a keen self-maintenance enthusiast and FBS Pro-Elite stand owner, it became crystal clear to me that anyone who owns ANY brand of cycle stand, clearly indicates a high level of respect for their ride.This product isn't just for those who wish NOT to remove the chain from their bike (for a 'proper' clean), the all-round benefits from owning one of these becomes more apparent once installed.I purchased this particular item not just for being loyal-to-the-brand as the Pro-Elite is a bullet-proof sexy piece of kit (...Sorry Park Tool, I hate that blue of yours). It just happens to be as anticipated, the best one out there for the simple task that it has to perform...Secure in your drop-out, put the chain in the groove, wrap your degreaser-ridden rag around your chain and rotate your crank till your heart's content, allowing you to caress your chain good enough for a 'Colgate' ad audition.To begin with, like most hand-sized things that come apart, it may seem to be a little bit fiddly, especially if you have both types of drop-out to deal with (if so, buy two). However, if like me you don't, you quickly realise that it never really requires to be totally unscrewed , which is great as I've only had to go on hands and knees just the once, looking for the conical spring.Unless your surname is Boardman or Froome, you should only ever need to buy one chain keeper...this is THAT one. May seem pricey, but for this reason alone, like all FBS products the cost is justified. Think german-style practicality and build quality, italian-esque good looks, all from a US based company, and yep you guessed it, made in China.Also, whilst your rear wheel is removed, you can really get up-close and personal with your bike frames' nooks n' crannies to check n' clean areas that are impossible to access with rear wheel in situ, all whilst looking at the very least like a semi-pro cycle doctor.Superb, nigh-on essential little addition to a cycle maintenance tool kit. If your a proud owner of a Pro Elite or Sprint stand, from an aesthetic perspective I know your feeling me right now. Why it isn't included in a package deal like I purchased which included stand, tote bag and tool tray is beyond me...FBS take heed!!!All in all, top draw little rosey-coloured piece of nuclear bomb-proof magic. Well done/congrats FBS

Now, I was really looking forward to using this item. It is extremely well made and looks very robust. Sadly when I took my rear wheel out of my thru axle Giant Propel the tool would not fit. The expanding collar on the thru axle just will not stay secure within the frame. A little upset yes, but will go back to my 3d printed chain keeper until Feedback sports come up with a resolve and solution.

Very impressed

Extremely easy to use and should last for years. Much better than quick release style tool. Would highly recommend.

Great product - fast shipping
