The Var Tools Chain Rest is an essential workshop companion for anyone who regularly maintains, transports, or stores bikes. Designed to sit in place of the rear wheel, it keeps the chain under proper tension when the wheel is removed, making cleaning, drivetrain adjustments, and frame work far easier and cleaner. By supporting the chain and rear triangle, it helps prevent the chain from slapping against the frame, scratching paint, or tangling while you work.
This simple but highly effective tool is ideal for home mechanics, professional workshops, and race pits alike. It is especially useful when servicing bottom brackets, rear derailleurs, or dropouts, or when packing a bike for travel. Compatible with most standard frames and drivetrains, the Var Tools Chain Rest is compact enough to keep in a toolbox or race bag, yet robust enough for daily workshop use. Add it to your maintenance setup to protect your frame, streamline your workflow, and keep your drivetrain running smoothly during any service task.
