Hi All,

Does anyone know if U-Locks are available in Thailand?  No bicycle or motorbike shops carry them in Khon Kaen where I live.  Angry I asked the shop where I just bought a new bike to order one from Bangers for me, but they say they no dealers in Bangkok!  Can that possibly be true? Huh

Anywho, if you know of a shop in Bangers (or anywhere) who carries them, particularly one that would be willing to send the lock to me up here in KKC, I would be very grateful!

Thanks, lah!

Rex, see the posted list on this forum under Bike Shops in Thailand.  There are a bunch actually.
But..haven't really noticed any U-locks in any of them.  I made my own thick cable lock from off the shelf hardware from Homepro.  Better than nothing, but I almost always park my bike inside locked rooms to be honest.

What's going on when bikes cost 4 to 10 times more than motorcycles?  Grin

Thanks Laird,

I don't think they have u-locks here.  I have been trying to get my hands on one for the three years I have been in KKC.   Damned if I can figure out why not   Huh , but TIT I guess covers it!

Never mind, lah!  I just bought one on eBay.  $28 postage, and undoubtedly they will make me pay a few hundred bahtski duty after waiting on line at the post office to pick it up  Cry .  Ouch!   However, I have been annoying myself the past three years running errands in town, and fumbling around threading a curly cable lock through the wheel spokes and around the frame. 

Thanks.

Aloha,

Rex
