My friend is in a bit of a pinch. Her chain broke, her bike got left on a mountain top. Its a long weekend, so there aren't any bike shops that are going to be open till at least Tuesday. She has no way of getting back up the mountain, and it is snowing like crazy up there as we speak. She won't be able to get up there with a chain until next weekend. But by then it will be a blizzard up there, and who knows if the bike will still be there ( those trails are frequented by rude young guys, parties and all sorts of illegal activity). Top this all off with, she has no clue how to put a chain on her bike. Oh happy day.
Now, there is a way I could maybe intervene. I have 4 bikes in my yard, but they are all 250's. Her bike is a 1998 RT180, so if I pulled a chain off one of my bikes, is there any chance that it would work temporarily on her bike? A 250 size chain on a 180? I could maybe get me, my bike, and a chain over there tmrw, double her up there and put my chain on her bike. But would that even work? Any advice would be awesome, don't think my friend is going to be sleeping tonight lol.
