Chain and Spockets for a KTM 950 Samara/Kaz

I am currently riding down to Samara and then into Kaz. I am experincing a fair bit higher wear on my chain and Spockets than I expected and am looking to replace them before getting to Tadj. Any recommendations on where to find some? Preferably Samara.

No, I had a major panic when I realized the state of them. I think the wet sand on the roads particularly in the UK and Russia has really contributed to vastly accelerated wear. Not something that tends to occur in Aus even when riding in the desert. The sand just doesnt stick like this stuff. It is like riding on the beach.

My initail plan was to get some sent to more Eastern Russian city.

Anyway I got an excellent response, very pleased.

Thought I would just follow up this reply. Chain and Spockets delivered by 10:30 and fitted this afternoon. They actually werent as bad as first thought but I dont think they would have lasted across the 'Stans and back into Barnul.

Thanks heap to Dennis for getting these to me.
