 This little relic was found during our annual inventory. Hidden away for many years, can you believe that no one came in the store asking for this! The required elements are Company who made the item, Functionality and product Name, if you can dig that far back into the memory bank. As always extra points for creativity and stories of personal use.

Wow, this little guy seemed to leave even our most knowledgable regulars scratching their heads. We had two answers that would qualify for the prize. Each had a portion of the answer correct, but in the end only one can win. The winner took the time to explain in detail what he thought the functionality was. In the end his creative thinking won out to the correct product name and manufacturer.
The Winner is Will Waterstrat:
"Ok, fat chance of winning this one. Not sure about the product name or year... but just by looking at it, it looks like one of those things for cleaning out your cassette (or freewheel in those days). Looks like you'd mount it between the nut of the skewer and the frame, and the black plastic pieces would mount to clean between the teeth. Appears that there's a couple replacement brushes, no doubt for when you actually get something troublesome between the cogs and the brush thingy snaps off in a heartbeat. I remember another version of this thing by a higher profile company... I was gonna say Ringle, but I'm thinking of the "anti-chain-suck-device". PS: Taber is a dork. . " (Yes he is.. Bikeman)
Runners Up:
Caleb Smith from www.brickwheels.com: "Shimano Mud Scraper" (Correct product name and manufacturer but just not enough to win the prize... Bikeman)
