GrahamR Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Hi I have a British made Brompton folding bike with I think 20x1 3/8 inch tyres. I live in Surat and can't get replacements anywhere. Over Song Khran I went to Bangkok, but my attempts failed. I don't know Bangkok well though. Does anyone know a good bike shop that stocks or could order odd sized foreign tyres and inner tubes please? If I could order by phone or on line it would be ideal. I love my Bromptonn! I love cycling! Thanks Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianf Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 Two things Graham: 20" is the same size as BMX tyres, although these may be wider. Secondly, quicker to order on internet. You'd have them in a week. Try Chain Reaction Cycles Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try Chain Reaction Cycles Ian Ian Thanks, I could order from the UK, the problem is I dont have a credit card any more I was thinking it would be easier to purchase something in Thailand for that reason.

el jefe Posted April 27, 2011 Share Posted April 27, 2011 last time I was in TCA Bikes in Chiang Mai (just before songkran), they had a couple of 20" tires in stock. Sorry, but I don't remember the width. They have an even bigger shop in Bangkok, and sell Bike Fridays, so they should have what you need: http://www.tcabike.com/www/index.php?p=p_41 Just curious -- how do you propose to order online or by phone without a credit card???

PaulHamon Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Check out www.bicyclethailand.com they have an extensive list of bike shops on their website, maybe a few phone calls. You see plenty of folding bikes in Bangkok on 20" should not be hard to find. http://bicyclethailand.com/bike-stores/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
