1. JOE'S BIKE TEAM.
Big bike service. Tel: 081 8336937
Joe is the popular reliable farang bike mechanic in Chiang Mai, & he's been at it for 20 years, so knows his way around.
He started (with Walter Fenske from Siam Enduro) off on the north side of the moat, off Maneenopparat, road, moved to Chang Moi where he was for many years & made his name, but a drastic rent increase required him to move North out to Don Kaeo on R121 (the outer ring road), just off R107 the Mae Rim road. There he has had 2 locations after suffering the same greedy landlord problem after only 1 year. His current location then is is on R121, 600 metres (East) from R107.
Images above are of his new workshop, still not completely set up. But rest assured Joe is a top notch mechanic, he is probably the most reliable shop for big bike service in Chiang Mai.
Finding the new place is so simple. But take R107 (the Mae Rim road) north from Chiang Mai & at the outer ring road R121 turn right & go east 530 metres. On the left hand side you will see a vehicle inspection service.
Turn left & go down the soi about 50 metres & turn right onto the dirt track beside the drain.
& Joe's is on the left. If it is wet watch out for the snot at the gate entrance.
Then ride up the driveway into Joes Bike Team.
it all looks a bit interesting in the wet & Joe is still waiting for a delivery of a truck load of blue metal for the driveway that was promised 3 days ago - late July 2015.
OTHER BIKE SHOPS WITH PARTS & ACCESSORIES.
Limited accessories - tyres / brake pads / helmets / jackets / boots / levers / cables / chain & sprockets. Because of the small big bike market in Chiang Mai / North Thailand, none of the shops carry a big range of parts and accessories. If you want something they can usually get it fairly quickly form either Bangkok or Singapore.
