101 pounds for a 10 speed chain whip

For a Campagnolo 10 speed chain whip.

On my 9 speed cassette an ordinary chain whip works fine - if you don't want to take the chance, this (non-Italian) 10 speed chain whip ( http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/LifeLine_10_Speed_Chain_Whip/5360031488/ ) will leave you £91 in pocket...

I've used the Park Tools chain whip on 10speed, no problem. That's around £20.

wow so people really do pay £100 for a chain whip, what does it do?

A saw a Parks tool kit for £6,000 too

thanks all, the current cassette is 12-26, just have to check the big ring now but I think it'll be 52T

then I'm good to go, as soon as i have the money and time

 

[Tynan]

Cassette 40.99 - Can get that for £33 delivered off ebay
Chain 28.99 - £17.45 KMC X10 Silver/Grey 10speed Chain 2009 - that going to be ok?

Big Ring 59.99 - US $15.96 from Colorado off ebay (too good to be true?)
Labour 20.00

erm if the big ring from Colorado works out I'm £65 up even after a peg spanner and a lockring nut (£15 the pair?)

if the Colarado ring doesn't work out then I'm saving myself about £30

My chain whip cost me all of £1 (from Poundland) . It was sold as a car oil filter remover but it does the job and I’ve used it on my 10 speed Centaur cassette without any problems.

PS The campagnolo 11 speed chain tool costs £114.45 (but Ribble are doing a 10% discount on it ).

as far as I can tell - reading around a bit, it seems chains is chains, pretty much. There's one chap on the CTC forum running his Campag 10 speed with Shimano chains, wrong morally, but works technically, apparently.

cool, the Parker people have confirmed it runs on Campag gears

just wait to hear from the shop in Colorado then, and compare it to some pics of Veloce stuff here, it does seem awfully cheap

I'm running a KMC X10L chain on my 10 speed Campagnolo setup without any problems and that's after the "missing link" has been used a couple of times.

Only £81 at Ribble

Just about anything will do for holding the cassette still whilst you undo the lockring.
It's probably worth getting a good chainwhip for getting fixed gear sprockets off, when you may be extending the whip with a bit of pipe for extra leverage, but even so £80-100 is over the top.

If the Colorado chainring doesn't pan out, Spa do suitable Stronglight ones for £25 or £15.
The £15 ones may not be all that hard wearing, so you would be more likely to need to change them if you run the new chain and cassette to death.

 

[Tynan]

I've got a bid on the $15 ring now, bloke say another $17 for shipping plus insurance, so it still half price anyway you work it

I have to say I'm amazed at the cost of components

thanks for the tips

I reckon I get get it all for half price, even with tools, the big ring is the big saving, ebay shaves £10 a part off the chain and cassette

Until last Sunday, I was using total Campag. Veloce and 9 speed chain set up. As I usually change both at 'worn out time' I bought a BBB cassette from Parkers. It is working with a KMC 9 speed chain.
Piece of cake to fit the chain. Everything runs smoothly too. Below are the 10 speed equivalents to what I bought in 9 speed.

I work in Kentish Town Tynan - you're welcome to borrow the Campag lockring tool / chainwhip etc if it helps save a few squid. It's one of life's little pleasures, sliping a new cassette onto the hub...and tightening the lockring.

 

[Tynan]

Bless you Apertif, I'll take you up on that in due course

Just snagged a 52t Veloce big ring for all of $5.50 from the man in Colarado, even with $17 for delivery, that's a third of the rrp, in that spirit I feel duty bound to continue in a miserly cheapskate vein

$24.95 is the delivered and insured total , touch
