2008 thread flashbacks!
Do you grease the threads before installing?
Have you tried the rotafix method?

Wearing a track mitt helps prevent fucking up your hand btw.

Hi All,
I have to admit that I am fairly novice in bike mechanics but have been tinkering with my bikes over the years. My main question is that I always find replacing the rear cog REALLY DIFFICULT to remove with the chain whip (in terms of it being really really tight). My chain whip is the park tool one so pretty good quality. I find removing the lockring easier in comparison.
I do know that the rear cog tightens as I pedal but I just find to so tight that I have to take to a bike shop to take it off for me (which they did super quickly!) Is it just that I am not strong enough or is there a special technique that I am missing?
I would be extremely grateful if any mechanics out there can give me some advice ^_^
THANKS for all the experts on the forum!
