The BBB BTL-50 ChainGrip is a workshop tool designed to maintain tension on a bicycle chain when the rear wheel is removed, simplifying bike maintenance, cleaning, and transportation12.
Functionality
The ChainGrip is a quick-release axle system that keeps the chain under tension, preventing it from hanging loose when the rear wheel is taken off. This is particularly useful when working on a bike stand, as it provides easier access to hard-to-reach areas for cleaning and maintenance. It also keeps the chain and frame cleaner during these processes12.
Practical Use
To use the ChainGrip, remove the rear wheel and insert the ChainGrip in its place. This keeps the chain taut, making the bike easier to handle during maintenance or transport2.
Additional Features
Some models include a disc brake pad adapter to retain the brake pads when the disc is removed, further simplifying wheel maintenance
