Troubleshooting
Chain whip slips on cassette cog
Ensure the chain whip is securely engaged with the cog. Verify that the tool is being used with the correct number of speeds (5-11). Apply steady, firm pressure.
Difficulty removing a tight cassette lockring
This tool works in conjunction with a lockring tool. Ensure you are using both tools correctly. Apply firm, steady force. For exceptionally tight lockrings, consider using a penetrating lubricant and allowing it to sit before attempting removal again.
Tool appears rusted or corroded
Clean the tool thoroughly with a degreaser and a brush. Dry completely and apply a light coat of bike-specific lubricant to metal parts. Store in a dry place.
