I need to remove my cassette so I can re-install a Topolino wheel and just ordered a book on bicycle maintenance which should be here in a few days. 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

Hi Darby,
You should only need one chain whip. Not sure which Park I have but either should work fine.

The Park SR-2 is a shop-quality tool, meant for continuous,heavy use. 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.

Dave and Saxon,
Thanks for the help. I just bought an SR-1 off of Ebay.
