CHAINLIFT Version 2
Victor Rodriguez
As is

This product is it so simple
To use, for us that do not have any experience this product is definitely a must to have. Thank you Chainlift

chainlift funziona e ottima assistenza.

All’inizio credevo di aver acquistato una cosa che non funzionava ma devo ringraziare per il supporto che mi è stato dato con spiegazioni dettagliate e facili da capire anche per una principiante, foto e video e adesso posso dire che è fantastico e funziona veramente bene. Io cambio la ruota col motore della mia eMoser gravel con la ruota muscolare e adesso posso farlo comodamente a casa. Grazie

Attrezzo fatto molto bene e curato nei particolari. Funziona egregiamente, comodo per la pulizia della catena e il rimontaggio della ruota.

Very innovative tool

Chainlift is a great product, but you need to get used to it. It requires a bit of practice. My applications include wheel change, regular maintenance, and home servicing, and this Chainlift is practical and works great for me

Clean fingers

The chain lift works as advertised and makes bike maintenance cleaner and easier. However, you must watch the videos before you use it for the first time. It isn't intuitive how to move the arms, some require you to pull them away from the joint first. Just saying. I would purchase again.

"Game Changer/Fantastic Customer Support
Chainlift is an ingenious product that makes removing the rear wheel for car transport and cleaning a breeze, especially for those like me for whom tools are sometimes considered dangerous weapons! The instructional videos definitely shorten the learning curve. Fernando and the staff at Chairlift are VERY HELPFUL! They identified the best insert pin for a decade old SRAM derailleur and overnighted to me without charge in time for an imminent road trip. For a bike enthusiast but near failure at anything mechanical, Chainlift is right up there with the zipper and paper clip!"

Takes some practice but very useful for maintenance and storage.

Like any specialty tool it takes some practice to use it the most efficiently. Its best to keep the chain in the middle of the cassette. With larger cassettes you have to get used to the angle and direction you drop the wheel out so you don't smack the chain or derailleur. But if you do it once you see the angle and it becomes easy.

It also holds the chain taught enough you can run the cranks to clean the chain quite well.

The BEST thing its at is for car transport. Don't have a bike rack? Hate the chain rattling around in the trunk and falling off? Think doing the rear wheel is annoying? Buy this instead of a bike rack and solve all the little annoyances that come with trunk packing a bike.

Hi Alec,
We want to thank you for your order and also for taking the time to leave a review! I am sorry you are having trouble on certain bikes. I think we can help as the tool does work well with larger range cassettes..

I'd like to start with understanding your bike(s). Please send me a picture of the rear derailleur of each of your bikes.

We would also be happy to do a video call with you at your convenience.

Thank you for your patience and support!

So easy my daughter can use it!

Simple but easy to use and engineered well. It’s like having an extra set of hands. Makes maintenance on bikes something to not dread anymore!

Super !

La première fois que j’ai vu la publicité je me suis dit que ça devait être un gadget. Puis je me suis rendu compte qu’à chaque fois que je démontais ma roue une troisième main aurait été bien utile. Je l’ai acheté sans trop savoir à quoi m’attendre et finalement je ne sais plus m’en passer. C’est très simple à utiliser et super pratique !

This makes cleaning you bike super easy. Especially if you’re taking the back tire off. I love it

Great tool

Makes removing the back wheel hassle and mess free. Would recommend to anyone who maintains their own bike, or simply just washes it. Great product.

Solid convenience tool

I've used Chainlift to make it easy to switch my bike between the rear wheel and my Wahoo KICKR trainer. It makes the process clean and easy.

Not compatible with shimano 12 v cassette

Here is what i comment on Facebook : Ne fonctionne pas correctement avec des dérailleurs 12 v Shimano SGS et cassettes 12v vtt ! Xtr, Xt. Passez votre chemin dans ce cas ! Même correctement positionné, avec la bonne douille /pivot sélectionnée, quatrième pignon en partant du bas, comme conseillé, et je suis un mécano professionnel du cycle, la chaîne n’est pas dégagée complètement de la cassette ! Je suis dispo pour en discuter avec le constructeur quand il veut

IT WORKS!

We have a Calfee tandem that I converted to an E-tandem. It has a 1X11 SRAM wireless shifting system. For some reason the rear wheel has been very difficult to remove with this system. I bought the Chainlift and removing the rear wheel in now a breeze, no problem whatsoever! I am extremely happy with the Chainlift.

Clean and easy

The chainlift makes taking the wheel a breeze, clean and easier in no time. Like it and worth it

Good idea, but

The idea is good and I was convinced. But for a fully equipped street bike there is no room for the chain lift to operate. It is made for mountain bike rack and dirt shields.

Thank you Martin. We use Chainlift on bikes with a rack and fenders although it does require a different technique. This technique isn’t quite as elegant but we believe still easy enough to use. Once mounted, you still get all the benefits Chainlift offers. You can watch a video showing how to use Chainlift with rear fenders or racks here: https://youtu.be/T35EthA4OjY.

Very helpful tool that works well

The tool does a great job once you get used to it, so make sure you watch the videos and practice it a few times.
