I've lost the device I used to use to secure the chain when the rear wheel was removed from those of my bikes that lack a peg on the seat stay but can't remember what the damned things are called or where I got the original from. The device in question is slipped over the chain from the inside then hooked over the dropout, holding the chain in tension when the rear wheel is removed. I used to use it when transporting the bike to stop the chain from slapping against the chainstay. Anyone help with a source?
Device to secure chain?

Re: Re:
That looks like it will do the job but it's nowt like the one I had! The Amazon one looks like you would have to get the rear wheel out before you can fit it, my old one had no moving parts and you slipped it inside the chain while the wheel was in place, pulled it back to clear the cassette and then slipped it over the dropout. You could then take the wheel out and the chain would stay in place. Neat design, wish I could find the bloody thing!
