    If you're lucky enough know Mr. LeeBob, it's dinner out at an Afghani restaurant for him & his lovely wife. But you have to provide the chain.

    OTOH, cassette and rear derailleur replacement will cost you dinner at the all you can eat Indian buffet. Plus beers for his lovely wife the lush. But then he'll throw in a crank arm replacement.

    Methinks she was just relaying a story of how she had to fix a chain herself, exemplifying that it can be done, even during a ride. No harm, right?
    For 3 days, I get to part of a thousand other journeys.

    Actually, dinner at an Afghani restaurant with the Bobs will buy you a chain replacement and a rear derailleur adjustment. But wait, there's more! You also get a cassette inspection. If that wasn't enough, you get lights lent to you AND expertly set up on your bike.

    A very reasonable price, if you ask me!
    I'll get back on the bike soon, I promise!

    My thoughts, too. Considering how essential chains are and how long they can go without needing replacement, $60 is a bargain.
