Sorethroat - sorry mate, my mistake.
The point is, it makes a chainwhip redundant - no need to shell out money for an extra tool. With a chainwhip, you 'lock' the hub by holding the rim tight and get the leverage of a chainwhip length. With the rotafix method, you lock the hub using the chain and bottom bracket etc. and get the leverage of a wheel radius. Physics. More efficient and no cost. Unless you have the touch of a rapist, then you're a hub and wheelbuild down...
Now really to bed.
