Chain whip lockring combine tool recommendations

  • looking for a combined tool to reduce weight, any recommendations?

  • Fixed gear london make a solid one.lastest me years.
    Google FGL.should get through

  • yep the FGL one is really good.

    Do you guys really carry a chain whip around with you though?

  • The Dura Ace one has been fine for me. Remains in the garage though, I never take it out with me and no cunt's borrowing it.

  • Can't you get a chainwhip that's actually just a spanner ? I'm sure I saw one recently.
    I've got a cheapo ebay job, cost about 8 quid and was long enough to get a good crank on the lockring that its not come loose yet, probably 18 months.

  • Trixie isn't a chainwhip.
    The Dura Ace item is a chainwhip and lockring spanner in one unit.
    If you're talking about adding a 15mm spanner to it, I personally don't see the point.

    +1 my da whip/l-ring spanner thing is awesome and it's never leaving my house.

  • ^ They go for quite a bit of money, have seen one sell for over £100... :O

  • Ah, it appears there are two types;

    This one with the rubber handle

    and this one with the spring and two pieces of chain

    I have the latter. Can't recall what I paid for it, probably £30 or so from Condor about 7 years ago. Looks like both types can still be found for ~$50 here. No idea why anybody would pay over £100 for one.

  • The Velo Solo version has a long comfortable handle and is only £14.95

    W T F

    The only chainless chainwhip is the forged 3Rensho/EAI copy tool and only works up to 15T cogs. And is £110 on Hubjub

    I have a 3Rensho one. And the DA :)
    And no fixed gear bikes :(

  • I have a Fixed Gear London one for sells if you haven't got one yet...

  • Another +1 for the Velo Solo one. The one called "Combined Chain Whip and Lockring Tool" at http://www.velosolo.co.uk/shoptool.html priced at £14.95. It's great and has loads of leverage.

  • thank guys, i had seen the velosolo one. thats a good site. wanted to see if there were any stand out great buys for such a tool. seems like that will be my choice.

    thanks for the input!

  • I agree with benjaminbunny, ffm &cranky - cheap, does the job well, is solid but not light

  • Buckaroo how much do you want?
