bikes shops in Bangkok: 700c and disk brakes

Are bike shops in Bangkok stocked with decent (or any) parts for 700 wheels and disk brakes?

here I think all the main bike shops should do parts for disk bakes as mountain biking is the main trade. 700 wheels could be slightly trickier but I think most shops should stock parts. Bike zone, velo and pro bike are well stacked and easily accessible, but a little pricy. If you want something cheaper head for ones in Nontaburi or Rangsit such as Saraphat or Enbikes. You can always call first to ask if parts are available.

i've just seen mountain bike with 700 wheels!!! is it the new fashion?? (i don't know much about mountain bike) it was in www.vtthailand.com or something...Samsen soi 3 or4 i think.
i ask the "vendor", he said it's new in thailand,he tried it and thinks it's great!! so know it will be easier to find 700 tyres,inner tube and wheel i suppose.....
Otherwise,you've got everything at probike, next to Lumoini park.

fantastic! 700 wheels on mountain bikes are referred to as "29" and they have pretty much replaced 26s in North America and are slowly gaining ground in Europe. They roll a little easier on rough terrain than 26.
