Good:
Bad:
The style with two chain lengths is for road bike cassettes. It doesn't work nearly as well for track cogs as the single length full wrap-around style.
Oh I know! The last one was this 2 piece style, it was horrible and not enough leverage.
Any one from NYC knows a store that stocks the Shimano chainwip? A friend of mine is there and he's willing to go to the store and pick one up for me
