I punishing myself by riding an old bike and admiring my good bike hanging on the wall as a trophy of my mistake. Today I did the walk of shame to the store and confessed my mistake. I expected to leave my bike for a few weeks and to pay for new parts. What I got at the service counter was a knowing smile, a hey let's see what we can do, and a glimmer of hope. 10 minutes later with the proper tools and expertise I walked out the door with the problem solved. If your riding in Des Moines this weekend look for me. I'll be the happiest guy on the trail.

Tune-up done last month, was able to ride the bike when the temps were up last week. Shifting was all over the place; chain skipping in low gears. I didn't have that problem before I took the bike in. Since the tune-up was free, the bike must have been given to a novice 'mechanic' who didn't know what he was doing.

I loaded my bike up to get it home and realized that they did absolutely nothing to service the bike - not even the simplest of tasks like putting air in the tires!!! I called to ask them what happened and was put on hold and came back and was told that they tightened the bolts and that they 'don't sell that brand of e-bike, but I could always bring the bike back to put air back into the tires' Really? Two days and $50 later, my bike was in the same condition it was in when I dropped it off! Unsatisfactory service and a lack of concern! Save you money- go elsewhere!

(I'm no bike expert so I had no idea there were several issues). I was only charged for the bench time ($15/hr) and the cost of a new tire tube and some new break pads which came out to a total around $30 for everything. Marty also gave me a list of things that still need to be fixed if I ever want to do it myself or come back in. I'd definitely go back there for any future bike issues. They also had a large selection of used bikes for sale that I was looking at while they were repairing mine.

We stopped in Thursday afternoon and owner Kyle helped me. Once he found a bike in my price range and that fit me (I'm 5' tall), he spent more than an hour making adjustments and showing me all I needed to know (everything from the shifting to the brakes is different from my old bike). I then brought my old bike in two days later so the back rack and other things I wanted to keep could be moved to my new one. Everyone I dealt with was pleasant, knowledgeable and patient. Shout out to Roz, who convinced me to buy a pair of Tifosi transition reader glasses (too bad I didn't know about these before buying prescription sunglasses last summer)! Took my bike out this morning for a 20-mile break-in ride and love it! If I could give more than five stars to Kyle's, I would!
