Bill:
Yes, that’s how I’ve been managing it. Works perfectly that way, and I take
it as good training for front derailluer shifts.
Kiziria:
Thank you so much, that’s EXACTLY what I’m looking for! I’ll be sourcing
one of these for sure. Wow.

Plenty of Shimano Shark Fin's on eBay and elsewhere still to be had. Chain
suck be gone.

Or a derailleur with a clutch would lessen the chain flying around. IMO
there is some technique involved also. The upper run of chain is only
slack when you are coasting. Keep it stuck in your head
I'd like to hijack this thread with a question relevant to the title, if
not the OP's actual question:
*How do people manage the lng chain getting wedged between the tyre and
chainstay?*
I'm loving my Appaloosa so far, but when I'm in my 24t chainring and on a
bumpy road, the chain flys
Awesome advice from all of you, two chains on the way!

Buy two KMC z9's for dirt cheap. Toss the leftover second chain in the
parts bin for the next 3 chain replacements.

^This. For my Appaloosa I bought a Wipperman Connex chain that had 136
links. With 38/24 chainrings and an 11-40 cassette, that was easily long
My Platypus requires 116 + 12 links. I use two chains with two quicklinks.
I don't bother about spacing the quicklinks equally between two 64 link
sections but others may.

Ebike chains come in extra long links. Figure out how much you need and buy

Rivendell themselves buy "chain" in enormous continuous bulk, so they can
use a single chain for a build. I buy my long chains from Riv. In the
past, when I've been impatient and wanted to do something in the stand
"RIGHT NOW" I've just used two quick links and a subset of a second chain.
I don't have a long chain bike myself, but when i was employed as a bike
mechanic i worked on lots of recumbent bikes. These would require 2-3
chains, most of the time 3. We would just splice together 3 chains of the
same make and model. I ran into problems trying to combine different model
