My chain snapped today while at Hamsterley, one of the lads in a group gave me his spare chain. I want to trace him as i managed to fix my chain and i would like to return it or at least send him the money for it.

    I wouldn't worry, happens a lot. Most of my tubes, masterlinks etc go on strangers.

    Works like karma. One day someone will help him, and you'll help someone else.

    Do MTB chains snap that often that you need a spare?

    BTW is Hamsterley a good place for a roadie to try a bit of MTB?

    Usually a power link does the job but I have completely lost a chain before, it snapped somewhere in a mile long descent and I didn't notice until I was near the end.
    Trail Karma, what comes around goes around. Just remember it when you meet someone in need of a spare part you are carrying.

    Yeah it's as easy or difficult as you want it to be.

    Karma, otherwise known as pay forward......

    I don't carry a full chain, but do carry 3 power links and a short length of chain to replace a damaged section.
