  • Is there a tester approved chain whip? What's a good one for not loads of money?

  • B'Twin 500 chain tool. Makes all chain whips redundant (for cassettes with a smallest sprocket between 11 and 14 teeth). Not necessarily tester approved but bloody good.

  • Not much good for most track sprockets though.

  • B'Twin 500 chain tool.

    Why would you want to hold your cassette by 3 teeth on the smallest sprocket when a chain whip can hold all the teeth on the biggest sprocket? Torque is the same (whatever is needed to loosen the lock ring), so holding on the larger radius reduces the tangential force, and spreads it over more teeth.
