pretty cool. Wrap it with some handlebar tape or even some electrical tape for better grip.

 

The grip is good even without the tape.

 

Or buy one for $10 US

 

This.

 

This is an interesting approach. We usually would just use a length of steel plate, cut to size, and just bolt/rivet the chain to the plate--one short 4-5 link section to hold the sprocket, and a tail next to it that is 8-9 links long.

 

Engineering stuff is cool.

From a mechanical viewpoint I'm not seeing the need for the double 'whip'. Not bashing, just critiquing and I'm certain the extra length of chain does not inhibit function.

 

This is an excellent idea when travelling or on vacation. I never take my chain whip tool with me. Or even for a local trailside repair, if necessary. Thanks for sharing. 👍

 

Once I experienced a Pedros Vice Whip I never used a chain whip again.

That’s not to say the OP’s creation isn’t awesome — it absolutely is.

I mean, you know, as far as chain whips go.
=sParty

 

Those are cool and make more sense than whips but that price is a hard sale for me considering I hardly use my whip. Wonder if someone has hacked together a version of this? Seems like it wouldn't be too tough to hack something together using Walmart vice grips and an old chain?

 

Dang. Based on the title, I thought this might be something "Kinky"

 

I have a Pedro's 11/12 cog wrench that has worked well for me over the years, until... Until I started running 10 tooth / 12 speed cassettes. Back in the 7-8-9 cassette days, I had several inexpensive chain whips, plus I made a few of my own, that I used to use all the time. I took one of them, removed the 7-speed chain section, and installed a used 12 speed chain section, and now I am good to go on any cassette between 7 and 12 speeds.

Attached is a link to how most people fabricate their own chain whips. (I made my first one over 45 years ago, based on an article in Bicycling magazine.)
