Well okay, but the swisher tool also prevents tangles/kinks and makes it easy to hang-cool the chains after removal (with a slight modification.) I can also loop my Connex links on them.
I did similar to the coat hanger, but I used some old spokes. They tend to hold their shape a little bit better than coat hangars after you bend them. I bent two right angles, maybe 1/4" long at the thredded end to hold the chan, then maybe 1~2" at the other end to hold it and to hang on a rack to dry. Thredded end goes in between the inner and outer plates and keeps it from slipping or falling off the spoke.jlok wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 3:20 amThat's very good indeed.TobinHatesYou wrote: ↑Tue Jan 07, 2020 1:18 am

Not sure I totally agree with this. As far as dissolving wax sure, but I always use 91% Isopropyl as a final rinse after cleaning a new chain in mineral spirits to remove the factory lube.
