Removing rear wheel Rise H15

[TimC7]

Is there an easy way to remove the rear wheel that doesn't require 3 hands? I raise the rear off the ground with a stand, put the bike into top gear, turn the clutch to off, remove the axle whilst holding the wheel with one hand, move the derailleur chain tension arm fully forward with other hand and then need a third hand to lift the chain off the cassette . . .

Turn the bike upside down.

IN most derailleurs there is a lock to hold the pulley assembly out of your way.

Can't find anything - any H20/H15 owners?

The lock is only on Sram derailleurs. Best way to remove wheel is have bike upside down, change gear to smallest cog then one hand on derailleur other on tyre removing the wheel

Push the derailleur forward to take the tension off the chain and cable tie the derailleur to the chain stay.

Works a treat, made a loop of the right size to hook round RH pedal and will keep it handy for the odd time it's needed.
