Hi all,
Have never needed to remove a cassette before and am so far failing miserably. I'd hoped - optimistically - that it might be possible to fudge something together holding the damned thing in place with an old chain wrapped around the cassette and a sledgehammer handle, and then go at it with a Park Tool lock ring removal tool.
I now have a bruise under my fingernail.
Whilst I appreciate I may, in the end, have to stop being such a tight-arse and buy a chain whip (is there really no alternative?), I'm still kind of baffled by the lock ring remover, because it doesn't go in very deep into the lock ring, and it seems hard to believe I'm going to get enough leverage on it.
Am I doing something wrong?
Cheers all
