CHAINLIFT Version 2
Frank DiMaria
Game Changer

Prior to purchasing Chain Lift I struggled with taking my wheel off. Not the wheel aspect but the chain!!! Getting the chain back its position was very frustrating and messy. But, not anymore. It used to take me 25+ minutes to get something as simple as that done. Now with Chain Lift it’s a quick process that is super easy and efficient.

Great tool

makes it extremely easy to switch out the rear wheel for cleaning, repairs or just to change wheel sets…the tool is very simple to use…

As advertised!

No doubt The Chainlift flat out works! The company has down a great job with easy to use instructions and accessible videos. Everything is well thought out for any mechanical skill level to be successful. Had my kids watch the videos and they figured it out on the first attempt.

Zeer gebruiksvriendelijk

Met de Chainlift is het wisselen van wielen een makkelijke klus

Very useful tool

Other than practicing with the newly received tool, I have only used this properly twice. It does make removing the back wheel a whole lot easier and less messy, and the same for putting it back on. Also having the tool fitted whilst the wheel is off makes it so much easier to move the rest of the bike around, without having to worry about the chain moving around or rubbing on the rest of the frame - instead it is held in place away from the frame quite securely.
I still find it a little clunky to use, but hopefully that will ease with more regular use. And whereas I have always to date been reluctant to remove the back wheel to clean the bike unless I absolutely had to, having this tool to make it easier will mean I will in future do it more regularly.
Undoubtedly it is not a cheap tool to buy, but for me it is worth it for the reduced hassle in removing the rear wheel.
If only there was a small more portable version to take out on rides with me, it would make fixing rear wheel punctures so much easier!

Easy to use super service

I have the chairlift now quite some time. It turned out that my new bike was not fitting. After one mail for very little money, a special modified pin was send to me. That is a very great service !!!!

It works as advertised

i bought it online and received it in a reasonable amount of time. It was packaged well without waste or damage in transit. It was intuitive in design and with a little trial and error...it worked. I use it to remove my bike from smart trainer, I like not getting my hands full of chain grease. I am satisfied.

Changing rear tires no longer a struggle.

I've upgraded 3 bikes to 2 sets of wheels each. I always hated removing and putting on the rear tires. It was a slow and unenjoyable process. I'm not an expert using Chainlift yet, but switching rear tires is no longer a dreadful task. Now I can switch from a set of training wheels/tires to a performance set easily and quickly. Changing wheels out is so much easier now. The only criticism I could even imagine is wanting a compact unit for my Jersey pocket for our riding. Customer support is great, I sent a couple pictures of my setup and they sent me pictures and suggestions to make it easier. A slower version of the process on a couple of different drivetrains would be awesome. Enjoying using the Chain lift and keeping my hand virtually grease free. Best bike tool I've ever used !!

SRAM-5 Pin

Great

essential for having pins for all bicycles

No more dirty oily fingers.

A fabulous piece of kit that holds the chain well clear of the big 11-51 cassette on my MTB. Tyre changing is now a breeze and it also makes loading the bike (without a wheel) in to the car so much easier - but remember to put a spacer block in the caliper tho!

Takes some work to make it work

My wife got me mine for Christmas. There were some issues with shipping. Fernando was very helpful with resolving the issue.
The videos were only kind of helpful because of the number of variations of bike set up. The correct pin doesn’t seem to be secure enough in the derailuar pivot bolt

Excellent device

Primarily got the Chainlift tool to help transfer the bike to a smart trainer. So much better than getting hands dirty and risking chipping the paint on the frame.

First impressions

My first impression of the chain lift was, wow! This is a great tool and something I would totally use. After receiving it, it took a little getting used to. It could be my bike, or just me, but I’m not sure it fits 100% but I don’t think it’s going to be an issue. After watching videos on it I was able to get my wheels off with no issues. Great product!

The instructions by video are the key. Otherwise I would have had a hard time figuring this thing out. Have taken the wheel off a couple of times and it really is easy once you know how it works.

essential for cycling

I do think that in the near future it will become a standard for every cyclist

Very useful tool

I have just used it a few times, but it has made life just a little bit easier. It is nice for putting the bike on a wheels off trainer. Hopefully it will last a long time.

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

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
