I have an entire wall of arcane tools that have no other use outside of a bicycle shop, so I was somewhat hesitant to purchase the Chainlift. However, as the makers are aware, if it were to work properly, it would solve a niche problem in working on bicycle drivetrains. The excellent news, I am eager to report, is that it does work most well! I have used it on bikes new, and bikes and derailleurs 50-plus years old. Not only that, rare for something these days, every part seems to be methodically well thought out. Welcome to my wall Chainlift! I look forward to many happy years of use.

I use my chainlift very routinely. My favorite use is for when I am centering my caliper. I find it impossible to hear rotor rub with all the drivetrain noise. Chainlift fixes that and makes it very easy.

I wasn’t sure which pin to use with my Shimano derailleur. I emailed a picture of it and got a reply within hours, on a Saturday no less. They explained which pin to use and had detailed instructions and links to videos. I tried it out and it works great. I can now easily switch between real world cycling and virtual cycling on my trainer. Great product and super customer service!

must have for indoor trainer, makes switching from Zwift mode to outdoor destroyer a breeze. Perfect for bike wash day, bravo Chainlift!

I have used this tool several times since receiving it. It works great and makes removing the rear wheel and cleaning and lubricating the chain a snap. It is also a great diagnostic tool since you can listen for disc brake and hub noise without the cassette clatter. An ingenious device.
