silp1979 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 Hi Looking to buy some good quality mud guards for my MTB. I only know the Kata bike shope west coast riders or sth. like that, but they just had plastic short mud guards. I prefer metal and full coverage. Anybody knows where to get it? Or buy online??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete600 Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 You could try Thalang Bike shop. Head towards Heroines Monument go straight over as if you where heading towards the airport. At the next set of lights go straight over. Keep looking on your left hand side you will see Thalang bike shop. Keep a close eye out for it or you will miss it. 59/1 Moo 1 Thepkrasattri Rd tel 076 274 352 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScubaBuddha Posted July 21, 2010 Share Posted July 21, 2010 There are actually two bike shops in Kata along Patak Rd, so make sure you check both. Check also at LA Bicycles on Bangkok Rd. near the intersection with Chao Fa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobfish Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Thalang bike would be the best Phuket MTB shop. However, if you want to put full mudguards on a mountain bike, you need to check how "mountain" the bike really is. Assuming the bike has front suspension, then traditional front guards cannot be mounted without drilling thru the arch, and even then probably finding incompatability with the axle skewer mounting. You could probably jury rig some clamps/zipties. The rear needs to be checked for the mounting point on the seat stay arch and you may also run up against a similar skewer problem or attch to rack tabs if fitted. I'd suggest the plastic short guards. On the front you could add a "crudcatcher" which actually works well. The rear could be combined with a rack/guard arrangement. If the bike has rear suspension, you're probably limited to whatever you can attach to the seat post. Otherwise, swap the bike for a street bike:rolleyes:. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deoroller Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 Thalang bike would be the best Phuket MTB shop. Thalang bike-shop is the most expensive shop in Phuket and owner is also a very unfriendly person. But people say that you must go there in the late afternoon. Sometimes he enjoys to much tigers and he makes quite good prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobfish Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Well, I have found ALL bike shop staff/owners in Phuket friendly. I have a number of higher end MTB's [XC to DH] and had work done by a few of the shops. The reason I consider Thalang the best, is that they are full time, stock quality components [although you'll have to order that $$$$ Saint or SRAM XX kit!], perform good work, on time, and at reasonable prices. Sorry, I can't comment on the owner's beer taste as I prefer Heineken! At the risk of getting off thread, the best bike shop in Thailand? Stock-wise that would be Pro bike in Bangkok. However, IMHO the best shop is Jacky Bike, a bit far away though in Chiangmai, - trash your bike in the morning, fixed by evening with custom machined parts.... gotta love that!
