I just had such a positive experience with CyclePaths. The cable on my right shifter snapped. I took it to a closer location bike store (also more expensive and pretentious). They could not take care of it for a week which is longer than I am here on vacation. That's OK. They also told me that other local bike stores were sending clients to them. Hmmm. I was skeptical. So, I called CyclePaths who told me, "come on in" which I did. They were gracious and supportive. Fixed my bike in less than 24 hours. Very reasonably priced. Tried to undercharge me. And, gave some great advice on bike cleaning and a helpful product. Now I get to take several more rides in beautiful Truckee before returning home.

   Read moreTook my rather old bike (purchased in late '80s - a city bike adapted for mountain trail use by adding chunky tires) in for repair. When I picked it up it was so clean I was wondering if many components, other than the rear cogs, had been replaced.

I'm sure those with serious bikes requiring "big" work, can trust Cycle Paths to give them the same excellent...

I had a 6/10 headset problem with my Santa Cruz heckler that other shops were not willing to tackle. It was not easy, but it was straightforward. Dean at cycle paths straight up understood I needed a little elbow grease & know how and this loose headset improperly set stack height and stripped top cap bolt could be fixed quick with the correct extraction tool- a new bolt - a spacer-and new star nut. I literally got this done in 25 mins because of his know how & expertise & was still able to ride that day. Full hero status -save the damn day. Thanks Dean!! Great shop with good gear & rad...
