bike shops/parts in hong kong?

[jonot]

hey guys,
im going over to hong kong in a few weeks and was wondering whether you can buy cheap mtb parts over there? I was speaking to uDi and he said that he got Shimano parts, (brakes etc...) from Hong Kong dealers. Does anyone have any experience with this or know where to go??

There's is a place called Hong Kong bike shop which sells stuff on ebay.com pretty cheap

The ebay store can be found at http://stores.ebay.com/hongkong-bikeshop_W0QQssPageNameZviQ3asibQ3astoreviewQQtZkm

good prices, hopeless advice and no back up on warranty claims. Can be a really good way to buy stuff or a really good way to loose hard earned cash

hmm, thanks for the info everyone, i'll probably stick to buying electronics.

Shimano gear comes with an international warranty. I had no problems having an XTR wheel purchased in Malaysia replaced. All I had to do was send the wheel to Shimano with a copy of the puchase receipt. Shimano dispatched the new wheel the same day.

hong kong... cant go wrong!
my mate goes every year, picks up so much cheap gear, pair of holzfeller urbans, for $160 with a BB (the gold truvativ one, i hate names)... hs33's both ends for cheaper then one end here.. black elites for 300. etc etc list goes on.....

i will find out some shop names next time i talk to him.

yeah i should make an exception that shimongrel is normally very good with awarding warranty claims.
