Simple to use & makes taking rear wheel off to put on indoor trainer much easier
Great product. Works as advertised
I've only used it once. It's a little tricky to use the first time, but once you figure it out it's amazing. The whole process could be improved with a better instructional video. The instructional video should be one continuous video to show the whole process and not broken up. Also, the list of pins and derailuers needs to be updated. Customer service is great and very responsive. I wasn't sure which pin to use and emailed the company. I got a response within a couple hours with more specific instructions for my derailuer.
Good product, took me a few minutes re-watching the website videos to figure things out, but now it's pretty intuitive. And no chain grease on my hands/clothes/walls!
Took me a few tries before I got it to work the first time, but it is a very handy gadget to have when removing and replacing the rear wheel on my 10 and 11 speed bikes with tall cassettes and finicky derailleurs.
Outstanding! Bike maintenance is so much smoother now.
Used it once, will use it more soon. Fanagaled it around my rack and it worked ok. Next time I will remove rack. Seems very well made.
My only criticism towards Shimano is the lack of extending and holding the derailleur open to take the rear wheel off, but for the rest, I love my Shimano XTR group!! But, Radian built the perfect solution. Great and very easy to use! I hated taking my bike apart to do the maintenance, but this tool makes it easy and fast! I say it’s worth every penny!!
Great product I've had it a few weeks and have used it 4-5x. Makes it 1000x easier to transport my bike in my vehicle.
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.
