Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

The best way is to use a folded rag held against the end of the axle, both as hand protection, and to trap the ring when it jumps. If you don't trap them, these spring rings can jump high and fast. If you let it loose you'll be looking all over for it.
