Need bent rim replaced

[Frogmountain]

Hi everyone. My DH got pitched off his bicycle by a man getting off a bus and bent the rim. The bike is now locked up at MBK Center and we're hoping to find a nearby repair shop so we don't have to push the bike a mile to Probike (we don't have a car). Please help! Thanks!

There's a bike shop in the soi that runs behind Emporium Mall, a short ride on the overhead train

www.bicyclethailand.com has an EXTENSIVE list of bike shops in Bangkok and throughout the country.

Rims are usually made of aluminium, unlikely any shop would bend them back, it would lead to structural problems within the rim, besides that i don't think bike shops have tools to do this kind of procedure. They will most likely need to be replaced, just take the wheel off the bike an go to a shop. You can also take the front wheel off and put the bike into a taxi, i've done it a few times, might need to ask a few before one takes you or offer some extra B for the hassle.

Or push the bike into the BTS and get off at Chitlom, check out Bike Zone in Amari Plaza. That's the shortest way i can think of.
