Zoo_Monkey Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 you have 3 choices the first being the easiest 1. buy a chain whip for 2.99 2. jam the cassette and freewheel with a towel (one you don't want to use again) buy wrapping it round and under the cassette 3. make a chain whip with an old chain by attaching it to something. for example i once got an old bit of pipe (i think it used to be a seat post once) and put the chain through then got an old spoke and put that through a link in the chain so it wouldn't pull back through the tube, then wrapped the lose end of the chain right round the cassette and hey-presto instant chain-whip. but really - buy a chain whip, or lend one most people will have one if they do any work on cars - motorcycles or bikes.

big_g Posted October 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 the 3rd one worked great thank you. just one more thing, i have a new back wheel that i put on but when i peddel back the cassette does not move the chain just comes off/folds up all that is new is the back wheel, what could be the problem?

Hmm... I'd say an issue with gears, but since you ride a mod thats less likely. If you run a mech/derailleur as a chain tensioner, check the chain runs through it properly (chain should run over the top of the upper jockey wheel and underneath the lower one in most cases). Can't think of any non-gear related reasons why that would happen unless you have a dodgy freehub mechanism. Hopefully someone else will be able to shed some light.
