The Wash Buddy clamps into the rear dropout and holds the chain taut so you can turn the cranks and shift through the cassette while washing or inspecting the drivetrain, without a rear wheel fitted.

Highlights

  • Clamps directly into the rear dropout
  • Allows full crank rotation and gear changes while washing
  • Stainless steel spindle resists solvents, water and grit
  • Delrin pulley with strong solvent resistance
  • Made in Bend, Oregon, USA

Also doubles as a travel aid

The separately sold Delrin pulley can be slid over a thru-axle after removing the wheel, which Abbey also recommends as a way to support the chain when shipping or packing a bike.

Compatibility & fit

Fits standard rear dropouts; the separate Delrin pulley accessory is for thru-axle bikes.
