Hi all, start this thread hoping you all can share JB ah gua lanes discussions here. Because i went once and saw the whole stretch of shophouses all bikeshops with numerous accesories, but don't know which one has the best price and services.

 

Maybe if you have been there, care to share the prices and which shop is the best, and which "black" shops to look out for?

 

Also one question, changing sport rims for kup, which has the best price and around how much?

Sorry, newbie here. How to get to Ah Gua lane?

From first link.

 

Do a U turn after coming out from custom.

Hit straight all the way.

U will pass by the Jalan Wong Ah Fook Shell which is popular among singaporean.

Continue hit straight, by passing a mini fly over. When you approaching a slight right bend. look out and be prepare to filter left in.

Even if you overshot, you will definetly see a long stretch of motordiam on the left.

Thats ah gua lane. You can still enter from the front. Definetly Hard to miss.

I wonder why call ah gua lane. There got ah gua???

[LollyPoP]

of cos got ah-gua, ar bo call ah-gua lane?

lol...

[Triple X]

WARNING!!!When going into Ah Gua lane, please do not enter at high speed as there's a very deep pothole at the entrance..... unless you're looking to change rims and new mudguard (or a new face)

 

You guys can try the shop further down the lane at a shop call BOYSEN. The shop has a very big PLAYLIFE sign. The price there is very reasonable and the mechanic is very friendly. Was recommended there by my friend. Look for mechanic call Ah Siang.

[d0n]

not all the parts in AGL is cheaper than SG leh

 

example:

parts like voltmeters (RM$120 to $130) which u can get in SG for $40+ (w/o worksmanship)

 

and other parts like TT900 thailand tyres (can get for ard RM$130) actually cost ard the same as LAB

 

been visiting hou heng (the one further up the street) for most of the parts on my bike

pricewise i wont say it is the cheapest ard

but the mech there (ah di) is quite careful with his work

do be prepared for a longer waiting time if u only wan him to handle yr stuff (cause he need to multitask and handle other walk-in customers as well)

 

got my racing boy sports rims from him RM$185 a few days ago only (not inclusive of tyres and bearings and airvalve)

 

[RempitburnOut]

ya...dats true..u can go at the boysen shop. i gone der to change parts. and if u change many parts, they will give u discount.

[RempitburnOut]

hey don....RM 185 is quite ex liao....u can get RM170 at ah gua lane for racing boy sport rims. but then only one shop ar sell that price.

[180]

Jus wondering. I went once, end up i dun know how to come back to spore. They told me to turn left after shell petrol kiosk.. then blah blah... end up i lost my way, hahaha.. SO can any1 direct me the proper way, keke.... Is ah gua lane stuff still cheaper as compared to Jb Ah boy located just next to citibank? Thanks...
