Thanks for the reply mate, iv been looking online which park tool one are you talking about also is it small enough to go in the back of camelback?I have several and the best of the collection are the Shimano and Park Tools.
Just dont buy a cheap one and it will serve you well.
You could but its a bit heavy. More a shop tool.Thanks for the reply mate, iv been looking online which park tool one are you talking about also is it small enough to go in the back of camelback?
I had this same conversation recently. The only CB product that seems to be reliable.... Unlike everything else CB i have used, this works a treat.
Something like this is what I use. If you need more leverage you could undo the support handle, put the hex-body in the vice, and slip a bit of metal tube over the winding handle.Grave dig.
only recently started using an 11 speed chain on one bike build because the wheels came with an 11 speed cassette and XD driver ,OMG the pins are strong.
I have to put the chain tool handle in the vice and use an extender on the winding bit.
Yes I line everything up nicely and never have had a problem with 9 speed,10 speed is harder ,11 is harder again.
What do others do ?
What is a really strong chain tool with lots of leverage , my hands are starting to get osteoarthritis so I dont want to make them worse ?

That looks a bit like the one I mangled today. I had the handle in the vice, tubing over the winder and I think it stripped the thread inside the body because I could not back it off easily .

That's one of the types I have, looks like it was made for industrial-type chains originally but still works well on bike chains and it's the easiest one on my hands because of the larger handles.Something like this is what I use.
