Does anyone know where i might be able to buy one of these. I really like the Shimano type (combined Lock-Ring and Chain-whip) but having trouble finding one on the net.
BC said they could order me one in, but that they had shot up in price, from around £25 to £40. Cavendish said something similar.
Anyone know of any sites or shops that have them for less?
Cheers.

Cheers for that.
Hub Jub are out of stock - and i bet they'll be more expensive when they come back in. Only place i haven't tried is Condor, but i'm working nights this week, and need one asap. Anyone got any sites i can order from?

Yeah, me too. Alex said to buy one quick as they were going up in price (this was a while ago). But they haven't had any in for ages, so i think they'll be just as expensive as in Brixton Cycles. £40 bloody quid for a glorified chain-whip! Ridiculous.

If it's massively urgent, rotafixing, a hammer and a screwdriver are your friends. It's worked for me...

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
