I assume you mean the part attached to the chain stay: http://www.ritzelrechner.de/HomepageClassic01/piem/piem_der.jpg

Indeed it holds the rear wheel with the complete Paris Roubaix mechanism is removed. Unlike normal bikes where the derailleur still holds the chain when the rear wheel is removed, the chain of a P.-R. equipped bike would hang loose to the ground and you would have to fiddle around with it more when reinserting the wheel without this hanger. http://www.ritzelrechner.de/HomepageClassic01/piem/piemontesi.html

On a somewhat related topic, can anybody explain exactly what Campagnolo

part 40, the 'Reggicatena', is used for? Reggicatena translates as Chain

Holder in English and it, like the nail, would seem to be intended to hold up the chain when the wheel is out. The Reggicatena appears to have

been supplied together with the Paris-Roubaix derailleur.
