hey i aint complaining, after i took it off, it looks like ducpainters way is just the "manual" way of doing it. might go for the tool if i cant do it the old fashioned way!

now off to start another thread on how to get to the damn rear axle piece off. [bang]

Here is the thread. The only dissenting opinions were from those who had no experience with the tool. They thought it was ripping off Motion Pro and/or DID - which it clearly does - I have no problem with that.

There was also someone who broke the pin - RK, Motion Pro and DID all sell replacement pins and theirs are more than $6.

So lets say you buy the tool and a replcement pin:
Tool: $20
Pin: $6

and then you break the pin 12 times and have to buy a new one: $72

After 14 pins it's still cheaper than the motion pro one.  ;)

What are the 36 lost riding days you waited for shipping those 12 pins worth?     ;D

[laugh]

If you (collective you) go through more than one extra pin doing a single chain install then you are doing something VERY wrong

Agreed, if you break more than one per chain maybe you need to consider that your ability to do the job is eclipsed by your complete ineptness.  However, if over the life of the tool, you've lost that much time...       [laugh]

I like DP's method, there was also a guy on TOB who used a C-clamp and a BB.


Unfortunately I'm a tool slut.  If I need it more than once, I can't help but buy it and I just don't trust 'bargain' tools.
