I've inherited a fixed-gear bike - minus the wheels and tires which were kept by my friend. I live near Gwangan subway in Busan and wondered if anyone can recommend a bike shop to order wheels and tires for it. Can they all order the same parts? Is there a particular place where you got good service? (preferably close-ish). Thanks!

Re: Bike shop around Suyeong?
There is (although haven't been there for a while) a bike shop, mainly mountain bikes, but may have what you need very near. It's on the road that runs parallel to the beach road and the subway road. Closest subway would be Geumnyeongsan, then follow it towards Gwangan, it's on your right hand side. Street view here.

There is also another shop that specializes in your type of bike, behind Pukyoung university on the road to Yong Ho Dong. Not showing on this map, but I know that this map is out of date. But it's one of the shops in the row of shops in this picture

Will confirm that one tonight when I go past there.
Re: Bike shop around Suyeong?
Thanks, today I went to the shop next to Namcheon subway, which didn't have the selection I was hoping for. (and poor phone manners..). I'll check out the one en route to Yongho-dong from work later... maybe give them a call. Thanks!
Re: Bike shop around Suyeong?
Hi,
I agree with mattsid that the nearest shop to your place is the small shop next to the beach. For a slightly bigger shop, travel a bit further down the road to this place:

The guy here - MiNo Bicycles - is helpful and polite. His number is 744-5561. If he does not have what you need in stock, he maybe able to order it in for you.
Another place, near Pukyong, is:

Hansoo MTB has good selection of bikes. However, I am not sure how they are for fixed gear bikes.
Hope it helps.
