Stuck in Tashkent, need chain tools
Hello all,
My wife and I are half way around the world in Tashkent on our F800GS and loving our trip so far. Today we started some maintenance today, replacing the front and rear sprockets and intending to replace the chain. We got to the point where we were installing the new chain and found, to our dismay, that we don't have the right chain tool. I know, stupid mistake. Wrong chain or wrong tool, whatever the case we are stuck.
Does anyone know where we can find someone near Tashkent with a chain tool that can punch the rivets out of a DID 525 VX chain and then rivet the master link? Maybe a traveller is near or someone knows a local mechanic with a chain tool? Would a bicycle repair shop be able to help? Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help.
Jeff and Si
