I have not needed to use the Chainlift yet, but I did put it on my bike to check it out. I was very pleased with the design and the quality of the product. It is as good as the advertising promised. And it will make rear wheel removal so much easier. I read the directions and watched the video a number of times. As a result, I understand how it works and when I need to use it it will be easy. The only thing I would improve is a little more information about the pins.
