different chain whip for 3/32 vs 1/8???
I'm building up a new bike with 1/8 drivetrain (lovely, very lovely) and it seems like my old chain whip is not seating on the 1/8 cog -- seems like the chain on the tool is too narrow ... i.e. 3/32. Has worked perfectly forever on my 3/32 drivetrain.
Do I need a separate tool for the 1/8 cogs?
Thanx
ps: I know about rotofix. Really just wanting to know if they make or I need the chain whips in the two sizes.

I've never understood why they don't make chainwhips that are dual-sided: One with 3/32" inch chain, and the other with 1/8" chain.
