Luckily 100m from our office and going up hill so no drama.

Still a bloody pain though as chain has jammed itself up inside the front sprocket Rolling Eyes

Took it down the hill(aren't I lucky Wink ) to the bike shop and they're now fitting a new chain and sprockets...25euro I didn't want to spend on a bike that aint mine, especially as I've only got one more week here Mad

But as I say, it could've been far worse: High speed(on a Turkish built CG125-ha!) or in the MOFN.

25 euro for a new C&S Fitted is amazing.

+1 That is like £20. I am sure I paid that for just my chain online.

If he paid 25 euros for the the last one then it might go some way towards explaining why it broke Wink

Jammed around the front sprocket eh? Wonder if it chewed up the output shaft bearings/gearbox at all...

You can't get decent bike stuff here. It's all Chinese made.
So yes, the last chaain probably cost the same, and is definitely the reason it broke this time Rolling Eyes

Really I don't give a flying feck whether it's knackered the output shaft etc, as it's not my bike and I go home in a week Wink

just lucky I'm not being poked and prodded in a Turkish hospital...mind you, having admired the nurses the last time I was in hospital here... Laughing
