Spoked wheel repair - Chiang Mai

[The Bigfella]

We were doing a wheel bearing replacement on one of the hire CRFs and the new bearing wasn't going in right... been there, done that before, so it was new hub time. It's years since I've done a full wheel, so we took it to one of the main repair shops in town. Nope. Not interested. So, we took it to this guy

Over near Warorot Market

Job looks good. He put in new bearings and seals and laced the new hub we supplied. 400 baht. The new hub was 1,100 baht

I watched a local motorcycle mechanic in Patong relace a front wheel of a Honda "stepthru" (don't remember what model) in 2019. An enviable skill.
