You need this.

Says what it does and does what it says.
Use it once and you'll wonder how you got along without it.
Once you get the hang of it you'll be on your way.
Worth every penny.

Great tool

The chainlift does what it says - an easy tool/way to disengage the chain, making it a breeze to change wheels and perform various kinds of work on your bike. Some people say it is not necessary, but to me it is fantastic (since I have an arm/hand that doesn’t function optimally - so getting ‘an extra hand’ from chainlift makes everything so much easier.
It is easy to use, and easy to understand, and I have used it on both Shimano Sora and Ultegra - works without any problems, you just have to use the right pin for the actual gear deralior.

Shipping was fast and I received in less than a week from order date

I’m very happy that I bought it

Great product

Very useful. Quite big but light weight.

Great product, helps no end, not very skilled at rear wheel removal this makes the task so much simpler!

Everything the facebook ads said and more!

Great piece of engineering that makes working with greasey chain a thing of the past. Cool packaging and easy to follow instruction video

It’s greeeeaat! Like Frosted Flakes

The gadget you didn’t know you needed.

Purchased this thinking it would be a nice to have. I’ve never found it easy to get the back wheel off during cleaning or maintenance so this seemed to be the solution.
Came quickly and works exactly as it details on the site. Very well made and is very sturdy. Like the fact they give you a selection of pins that cover most rear derailleurs. Works brilliantly and worth the investment.

Works as it should on both my 3T Strada with Sram Rival AXS and also my Cannondale Quick 4 with Shimano derailleur. Watch the videos. I was not rotating the frame support lever back far enough the first time I used it. Videos definitely help!

Makes life easier; for a price

I was intrigued by the tool and considered it a luxury item when I considered buying it. It's pretty expensive but it works really well. Saves a lot of oily fingers and a tangled chain. Not very practical to carry on a ride with you since it's a bit large, but its quite light. I swap my wheels out on my bike quite often so this tool is great for me. If you have no second wheelset and don't need to maintain tubeless tires, I would suggest putting up with the oily fingers and spending the money elsewhere. However, now I have mine, I'm glad I bought it.

Initial reaction

I have only used it once but Chainlift keeps emailing me, asking for a review. I’d say it’s a bit pricey for what it does, but it works as advertised with a few adjustments, appears solidly built and is nicely packaged. Maybe I need a little more experience with the tool before rating.

Nice Addition

It didn’t take long to figure out how to use the Chain Lift and it is one of those things I wish I had years ago. Makes rear wheel removal and reinstallation easy and keeps the rear derailleur and chain out of the way. Great job.

Good solid construction

This is a well built tool that will last a long time. It is a little cumbersome figuring it out but does the job. I’ve only tried it on my tri bike with an Ultegra 11-speed groupo but it seems that it will work on my other bikes as well.

Chain lift review

With both myself and my wife having to frequently swap our bikes from the wahoo trainer, the chain lift is an absolute god send. It takes a little getting used to and watching the instructional video is a must. However, once mastered it really does make life a lot easier and cleaner. Great product and really well engineered.

Chainlift review

Easy to figure out which pins to use for your bike. While a bit fiddly the first time, once you use it a couple times it becomes second nature and really makes life easy changing swapping back and forth from trainer, or just removing the wheel to work on the bike. Smart idea. Like master link pliers, this is one of those tools you don't want to be without once you start using it.

Great product

This production does exactly what it says, lifting your chain up off the cassette. It makes cleaning and rear tire removal a lot easier. PLEASE watch the videos first and expect some trial and error in finding the right pin for your particular derailleur. Highly recommend and would buy again.

Great product!!! Thanks 👍

Excellent Product

I purchased two new bikes, one for me and one for my wife. As new models, the derailleur hangers were slightly different from my older bikes. I contacted Fernando for help with the Chainlift tool I purchased last year. He recomended two new pins he had created for these new hangers, sent them to me and both worked perfectly! I'm a big fan of Fernando and the product.

Great Product, Easy to use, Highly recommend if you like working on your own bikes

Super helpful

Makes it easy to go between trainer and road setups

Really good tool

It's very easy to change the wheel without getting dirty fingers.

Great tool

A great tool, not intuitive but if you have once understood how it works, you will never have dirty fingers while removing your back wheel. And suits with the corresponding pins to all rear derailleurs (SRAM, Shimano, Campagnolo…) And the service ist excellent, if you have a question, they will help you.
Highly recommended!
