I was wondering how you get the cassette off the wheel?

actually, i was trying to think of a viable way to make a quick-release cassette system. it would probably involve some sort of button to push and then some lever, connected to some little grabby things to grab the special hub...not that the current system is bad or anything. i bet some company has it in development right. this. second.
better tools to pull the cassettes would be nice though. like, a lockring tool that actually has a handle instead of having to get the lockring tool, then get the wrench, and then try real hard to not have the wrench slip off the tool...i know park makes this thing that's like a box-end wrench with a little screw that holds it in place, but my shop doesn't have one of those yet. we DO have a Stein hyper-handle (http://www.mtbstore.com/product_pages/Cassette-Freewheel-Tools/Stein-Hyper-Handle-cassette-wrench-11-14t.html) tool that replaces a chainwhip. that's a super nifty one. it has two ends with little allen bolts on each side, and it's designed to fit over 11, 12, 13, or 14 tooth cogs. we got that after i broke the really nice park chainwhip trying to remove a cassette.
anyway, to the original poster, you can either get the tools (cassette lockring remover, probably the FR-5C, a big-ass wrench to use the lock ring tool, and a chain whip, or the Stein hyper handle) and do it yourself. the tools will probably end up costing like, $30-$40, but then you'll have them for next time, and you'll know how to do it yourself. ...or take it to a shop, have the mechanics do it and pay them five or ten bucks.
