Just need to be aware and flexible in application if these obstacles exist. It is also possible that fender brackets might also confound it depending upon configuration. One catch - if you have a rear pannier rack over your wheel (which I have on a Tandem) the tool is still useable but not as easy and seamless to use as on my road bike without a rack. Ample information to access same comes in the box. “How to use” videos are essential resources to consult the first time you try it. Also I note it makes cleaning my chain and cassette easier since I hated removing my rear wheel to do this task and thus didn’t as often as I needed to. Whether you own a bike stand as I do, or not, it easily lifts your chain out of the way of your cassette to allow for less “hands engagement” with your chain.

But having finally run it through its paces I can endorse the product. And you will be supporting the kind of small company that inevitably ends up bringing more great products into our cycling lives.Ĭhain Lift resided on my tool wall pristine in its box because I bought if on a whim to add to my collection. They certainly make up for that with outstanding customer service, though.Īll told, I would strongly encourage you to order one for yourself. The price is merely a reflection of the economy of scale a behemoth like Shimano could perhaps offer a similar product cheaper, but a small outfit like Chainlift cannot. I’m pretty confident in the construction and choice of materials used on Chainlift. Chainlift will definitely pay for itself. By taking better care of my bike, I’m extending both its useful life and that of its components - which will save me a lot of money (and frustration) in the long run. These examples might seem trivial, but they’re not. I’ve also found myself removing the rear wheel more often for a more thorough cleaning of my frame, rear derailleur, and the cassette, and to better inspect the frame for potential signs of damage and my disc brake pads for signs of significant wear. Now I lube the chain more frequently when riding indoors, which is definitely good for my drivetrain components. Nope - I use Chainlift to easily get the bike off the trainer and on a repair stand, where I can lube the chain without reinstalling the rear wheel first, or spraying lube on the trainer’s flywheel. You see, Chainlift makes things so easy and mess-free, I’ve been far more likely to remove the rear wheel (or the bike from my Wahoo trainer) to perform basic maintenance I’d usually skip, or wait too long to do.įor example, I’m no longer lubing the chain with my bike attached to the trainer. Having used the product for months now, I would argue one really ought to think of Chainlift not as a “luxury” item, but as an INVESTMENT in your bike. I waited over a year to finally order one, as a treat to spoil myself on my birthday. And yet, Chainlift was always in the back of my mind. I filed it under “Wants” rather than “Needs”. If you’re reading this, it’s likely you were very intrigued by Chainlift - but its price made you pause.
