In the mean time, I ordered a Lock Ring Tool online and now need to buy a chain whip. I've heard that I need two chain whips. Is this correct? Also, Park makes a SR-1 and a more expensive SR-2. Is the SR-2 worth the higher price? Thanks, Bruce Edited by Darby (07/16/07 02:43 AM) Post Extras: Saxon friend Reged: 12/23/03 Posts: 28 Loc: Sacramento, CA Re: Chain Whip Question [Re: Darby] #8935 - 07/16/07 04:06 AM (71.197.69.107) Edit Reply Quote Hi Darby, You should only need one chain whip. Not sure which Park I have but either should work fine.

The SR-1 is a consumer-quality tool, which I use, meant for the more occasional use. I've had my SR-1 ever since I bought my first bike, and have used it to build over 40 bikes since. Plus I can't count the times I've used it to change cassettes on the myriad wheels I've had. My SR-1 is still going strong. -------------------- Steel lover, but then I like Ti with carbon too.

I just bought an SR-1 off of Ebay. Bruce Post Extras: Pages: 1
