On shopkeeper's recommendation I ordered a combined chain whip/lockring tool. I picked it up today and after an evening fiddling came to the conclusion that it's the wrong tool for the job at hand.</p> <p>It claims 8/9/10 speed compatibility and I'm not 100% sure what that means. I don't think it's relevant in my case though. It's obviously not got a 1/8" chain attached however, which means the chain doesn't get proper purchase on the cog.</p> <p>Have I been sold a lemon? Can a 3/32" chain whip be used on a 1/8" cog or is that a fruitless task? Should I be very disappointed with the shopkeeper who sold me the cog and ordered the tool to install it <em>while we both looked at the bike in question?</em> </p>
