good chain whip ideas?
anyone know of a good chain whip that also removes lockrings? I have a smaller tool but it really sucks and is nearly impossible to remove the lockring, i hear shimano has good tools...

This set has both. For such a low price, it's a really useful set. I maintain/upgrade/etc five bikes with that set, works beautifully.

I got careless with my Hozan C205 lock ring tool and chipped it up so the teeth were unreliable. Hated to throw it away so I drilled it out and turned it into an 1/8" chain whip. It was surprisingly easy to drill and works fine.

Why not just just use the rotafix method for cog removal and get a good lockring tool?
