Well, my rental bike of 8 speeds which really only had 3 that worked and all 3 seemed to be identical decided to pop the chain off
Heilo, your example supports my idea that when touring overseas, you should do it with local bikes - just for the simplicity of maintanance.

Hey, I'll bet that most street urchins knew how to fix your bike in India, didn't they. In bicycle cultures, everybody knows something about being a bike wrench.
