CHAINLIFT V2

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.

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!
