Chain set needed in Ulan-Baatar
Hi everyone,
My chain is skipping as I ride through Mongolia and I will (hopefully) get into Ulan-Baatar in 2 days.
Does anyone know if I can get a chain set (even a mildly worn one will do ) in Ulan-Baatar? Maybe someone keeping spare parts in UB for later or from a crashed bike? Or any shop that could have one?
My chain is a 520 Regina, sprockets 15/45 teeth.
Thanks in advance for any information you can give.

Hey Nacho,
ask for it at Oasis, i'm pretty sure one of the 3 contacts on "the list" will have one. at least the chain, i needed a 525, noone had it, but 520 should be okay (Steppenfuchs Reisen uses that chain for their own bikes i believe). Not sure for the sprockets though...
Good luck
Moritz

Thanks for the tip, I have sent a mail to Oasis already and waiting for their answer. I'm just trying everything to get a new set and continue my trip.
On a side note, it's freaking snowing where I am right now (Bayankhongor) and with the state of my sprockets, I can't afford to ride in the mud so I may probably have to truck the bike to UB.

Hey Nacho,
just found the contact of Vait from Steppenfuchs Travel, write him an email about your chain details: info ääät mongolei düüüt com
Also tell him how many Links the chain should have. And if you find a dry comfy place count the links yourself, don't rely on your maintenance book if you have one. I did that, bought a chain in Bishkek, shortened it to 110 links which my book says, just to find out at UB that i needed 118 links :/
Looks like you are on the southern route, not sure where the tarmac starts over there, but keep in mind there should be a few hundred km of perfect tarmac before UB.
Weatherforecast on your way for the next 4 days is SUN SUN SUN, hope that's true!
Cheers
Moritz

Oh, good tip about the number of links. My book says 110 too.
Thanks for the contact, I will send him an email. Meanwhile Sibylle from Oasis has sent me an email saying that I may be able to get one in UB not far from the Oasis.
