bprhodes Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Now that Stu and Mong (Mong Cycling) have left Chiang Mai for greener pastures, can anyone recommend a good bike shop that can reliably service my Marin road bike that I bought from Mong?

eyecatcher Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 Theres been dozens of threads about bike shops over the years and the list of those who are not recommended is much longer than the good ones. the stand out name by far I think was Chaitawat on Phra Singh road, Bike Corner at the end of Changklan I have been a couple of times and good. Not heard anything good about Arm unless you are a Bianchi rider. Quite a lot around though and many have moved on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bought my own repair kit off Lazada (about 1,000bht) and do everything myself now. Saved $$$$$s, and if the repairs and servicing aren't up to scratch, nobody to blame but myself.

Puwa Posted November 19, 2018 Share Posted November 19, 2018 If it's just a matter of regular service--chain, brakes, cables, tape, spokes, drivetrain upgrades--then Chaitawat is probably the most centrally located good shop. Road bikes are easy to service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought my bike from them Never had a problem with it I will go back soon to get a new back tyre Then have them give my bike a good service I regularly clean my own bike and lubricate my chain too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chingmai331 Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Y pay more? Maybe better quality. Do you pay more for imported food, like meat and cheese? Pay more for better wine, like from OZ, or France? Ask at the big box sports store where 99.876% of the products sold therein are made...mainland china will be the response. If cheap as possible is your need, go china for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paid 1,000bht for a 'quality' tire from Cherry, rubber perished and split in under 6 months. Happier with the 200bht tires from Decathlon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
