Random Stuff Bicycle Advice for ChengduBicycle Repairs in Chengdu

Try to locate a repair shop close to where you live and get to know the mechanics.
They can make your life much easier.  Here is a list of common bike repairs and replacement parts along with typical prices. I have been coming to China for the past 15 years and the price of adding air or getting a flat fixed is has not changed. [An odd case of, ahem, inflation? – Ed. Sorry.]
Please remember that the prices given are just typical average prices.  Very few people would describe Random Stuff as the authoritative source of velocipedal maintenance market price information for the Chengdu locale, or as the authoritative source of very much.
