  1. I had one of these and mistakenly left it behind at the hotel during a
    race. It was black, made out of some sort of ballistic nylon, and had
    shock-cords in a drawstring style for cinching around the front
    derailleur. Zippers were used for wrapping flaps around the chain and
    rear derailleur.

    Is anyone familiar with this product? I can't for the life of me
    remember the brand name, but I do distinctly remember the company logo
    was an owl, and I'm pretty sure they were based in North Dakota,
    Minnesota or another of the northern states.

    I could really use a replacement as my 1 year old daughter has taken a
    fancy to my road bike, and keeping her little curious hands off a
    greasy chain is an almost daily challenge.

    Any other riders out there have this great product? I haven't found
    anything remotely similar through Internet searches. Any help would be
    immensely welcomed.

    It sounds very similar [but not identical] to the Grease_Bag, which has
    an elastic perimeter and snaps to keep it in place. I still have a few
    of them, unused in the original packaging. De-spaminate my e-mail addy
    and write me if you'd like one, I'll reply with an image of it on a bike.

    Rust-belt location says QBP, but owl logo says Chris King:

    That's all I've got.

  5. Thanks for the suggestions, Ryan. Unfortunately neither of those are
    the one. At this point I'm thinking whatever company that made what I
    had is out of business. But I'll keep looking, and if anyone else has
    any ideas I'd be doubly grateful.

  6. Yes, yes, YES. That's the one! An immense thank you to David. Pygmy
    Pack, exactly. (No wonder I couldn't remember the name, it's just too
    odd for what it is.) But as I said, it has an owl on it just as I
    remembered.

    I'm ordering one right now. Thanks again for your keen observational
    skill, David!
