Fills the same purpose as the chain whip. I already carry a small to medium adjustable wrench for other repairs, so really all I am carrying extra is the cassette removal tool. Simple and light weight solution that never contacts your frame.
That sounds really slick. Would a piece of nylon cord of the proper diameter do just as well? Why does it have to be webbing? Of course, a picture of this webbing would be very much appreciated.

edit: Do you mean webbing or flat strap, like a nylon belt?
