Chain & Sprockets in Central Asia
Hi,
I'm doing a RTW from London to Sydney at the moment. Since I'm trying to see a bit of Italy, I'm accumulating a fair bit of mileage before I'm heading up the Stans/Silk Route.
At the moment I've done 3000 miles on an x-ring DID. If my maths are correct, I'll have around 11000 miles on the chain by the time I enter Tajikistan.
Big question is: What's available in Central Asia (Uzbekistan/Tajikistan/Kyrgyztan)? I'm on a BMW F650 Dakar. Can I score a new chain somewhere? What about sprockets?
Or is it better to have it shipped out? (Though I wouldn't even have an address to ship it to...)
Other alternative is to carry it with me (heavy!) or get a new one somewhere in Turkey (a bit of a waste).
Any suggestions?
Bjorn
