Hey all. Kinda stuck here and some help advice would be appreciated...
I'm taking my Chinese made ZongShen RX3 down the coast to Xiamen, but hit some problems just outside of Fuzhou. The RX3 comes with spoked wheels and - after chaining my rear wheel up while in a hotel overnight - some security guards didn't like where it was and moved/ dragged it away breaking spokes in the process.
Of course that means next day's ride sees a slight wheel vibration develop into a tank slapping wheel wobble and the bike is unrideable.
Normally that's a trip to the mechanics 20 yuan worth of spokes and 10 minutes worth of work BUT this is Fuzhou - where - I'm told - motorbikes are banned, no-one has spokes, has ever seen spokes or knows what to do with them.
Understandable from the usual roadside mechanics used to farm bikes, alloyed wheels and e-bikes of which there are plenty
, but I'm hoping there must be SOMEONE in this city who can do the job?
Anyone from here who can give me a contact number for a garage, or any riders you know of with local knowledge of Fuzhou or nearby?
Any rider's clubs in Fuzhou I can contact and ask?
If I have to I'll order spokes or even a new rear wheel and have a local guy put them on - but for the sake of some spokes I'd really rather not waste the time or money.
Any help or advice would be great. A touring holiday isn't much fun without a bike.
Thanks
