Deep Clean For Mountain Bike

[Richie1971]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a shop/person who can give a mountain bike a deep clean.

Some of the more avid cyclists here will probably berate me for letting it get this far but the bike is so ingrained with filth it cannot be removed with a power washer and surprise, surprise is starting to affect performance. Ideally I need it stripped down and the offending parts soaked in acid, white spirits etc and then put back together, cleaned and serviced.

Any info/recommendations appreciated

Cheers

Richie

Wow I would be interested in the cost of this, biking here is becoming very popular. Something other than Golf would suit me here in Hua Hin as I find there is not a lot to do.

Biking is getting popular but unfortunately we are running out of space, what were relatively quiet roads 3 years ago are now full of trucks, tour buses and building sites! Local people may call it progress, bikers may disagree

There is a professional bicycle shop (sales and service) on Phetkasem Road towards the north end of downtown on the odd numbered soi side. I've only been there once but it is highly recommended by my biking friends. Sorry I don't remember the name or exact location but someone else probably will and will post it. They could probably do what you want.

Cheers HH that is the shop where I got the bike, I've had a couple of services there but I'm not sure if they provide a cleaning service!

Bikes aren't difficult to clean and service yourself. They're only tubes, ball bearings and a bit of common sense.

Perhaps so but haven't the time or the inclination really. Pad Kapow or fried rice is probably easy to make but I'd still rather pay someone else to cook it.

When used to cycle a lot half the fun was in knowing how the bike worked and knowing that it was in top notch condition because I'd done it myself.
