I brought it back to return and to try something else. It was not a large purchase or expensive item, but I don't see a point in continuing to use something that isn't working as intended. I am very disappointed that they did not attempt to work with me at all. The advice was to use more of the product and " maybe " it will work. despite having limited options in our area I will no longer return to this store as who wants to give their business to a store that doesn't treat you with respect and appreciate your business .

We were in BV for a high school MTB race and literally had 30 minutes to walk the town before a…read moreplanned pre-ride of the race course with our team. We entered Boneshaker with only 5 minutes to spare, just browsing. They carry 2 of my favorite bikes - Cannondale + Electra - so I instantly liked their taste. We were greeted by Dave (owner) who saw our MTB shirts and asked about the race. Then a fellow patron/rider came over and we chatted about favorite trails. Really friendly folks. Anywho, next thing I know, they're putting clip-ins on a full-suspension bike for my son to demo during the pre-ride. With barely a signature and zero deposit, my son walked out *on air* 5 minutes later, excited to demo another new bike. (Back story: He rides a hard tail but loves downhill and wants full-suspension even though he races XC. Since we aren't made of $ and he's midway through his teenage growth spurt, we aren't buying 2 very expensive bikes. So he's been looking for one to serve both purposes but every bike he's demo'd has been too heavy.) The bike was 4 lbs lighter than others he demo'd and he loved it. After sleeping on it and talking to our team mechanic, we decided it would be a good fit for his needs. Dave + team gave us a pretty good deal on the bike (a 2017 Norco Optic) but it was an outgoing model (making room for 2018s) so we already knew this was the time of year to score a deal. And it was a demo. Regardless, they took care to ensure the bike was perfectly tuned for my son's size, weight, and riding needs. Two hours later, he raced it and came across the Finish with a grin even the Cheshire Cat would envy. Win-win! Bottom line: Friendly, no nonsense staff. Very knowledgeable. We'll definitely pop back in on Dave + team next time we're in BV.

We had our own raft, and while helmets are indeed optional, they say this is because they have never once had a head injury in 30 plus years of business. Their guides are paid better here than most other companies and they only have to go out on one trip a day, unlike most of the larger rafting companies. I for one prefer a well paid, energetic, and alert guide.

Everyone there genuinely loves what they are doing, and it shows! They were interested in not only you, but how your experience was. There customer service was exceptional (which can be hard to come by especially in larger rafting outfits). Our guide Curt and his buddy Ryan made the trip so fun, so exciting and informative. Curt was able to point out great points of interest along the river, talk about the water levels and how that affects the rapids - and the TWO ADDITIONAL RAPIDS they take you on are an absolute must! Other companies in town don't do that. If you want to experience AWESOME RAPIDS, support a LOCAL business with people who genuinely LOVE whitewater rafting - this is absolutely the place to go!
