Ok, I blew 8 bucks on a cassette tool, but I just can't put down another 35 for a chain whip. I know one is useless without the other, but the Park Chain Whip must weigh well over a pound, is expensive, and bulky.
Is there any way I can remove my cassette to get to future busted spokes without having a chain whip with me? Has anyone ever used something in place of a chain whip or is there just no substitute?
