Kool Stop makes some of the finest brake pads for nearly every brake that has existed for the past…read more60+ years and they make them right here in the U.S. Just got a big order for the shop and it was professionally packed beyond what I have normally seen. Their whole staff is super friendly but got a chance to meet Tim who is running the show (and helps elderly folks in his spare time) and he is just an absolute steward of the industry and really a stand up person. If you are getting pads, trust me go with Kool Stop you will not be disappointed. Excellent pad compounds that stop better and last longer and their Tire Jack has saved me many times on some tough to mount tires. Plus if you have a vintage brake they probably make pads for it currently. New new stock for those Weinmann 6 dots or Shimano Adamas AX brakes and many more.

And now we have brake pads in multiple colors. Not for aesthetics, but signifying different formulations for heat, rim type, wear and for Oregon rain. The founder applied a knowledge of specialized industrial friction compounds to bikes for the first time starting in a garage in 1977. I've been using the salmon formulation for rain on hills. It is for survival when going down SW College with greater than a 30% grade. You can get these at local bike shops. Kool Stop is one of Portland's world renown bicycle or bicycle parts makers - cool!

When I mentioned Olson's to a few people, they all raved about the shop. We have owned our bikes for over 20 years, but have not ridden them much as we lived in a hilly section of Seattle the last 17 years. Now that we are on a flat surface, we are ready and excited to hit the trails again, but our bikes needed cleaning up and servicing. I was very impressed with Mike and his friendly demeanor. He was quick to service the bikes, and even put a last minute kick stand on my wife's bike. Olson's is definitely the shop for any of your bike needs.

This is my 500th Yelp review. Just wanted to put that out there…read more Executive summary: They had what I wanted and made it super easy to drop in and pick it up. If it wasn't a 40 minute drive from my home, I'd return for all my bike needs. In this season of Covid finding certain fitness equipment has been an epic quest. Go ahead, find a set of barbells between 15-30 pounds. Go ahead, find a spin bike that can be delivered to your home. I was on a wait list for mine for about 6 months. Find a mountain bike. I'll wait. I thought, I'll find one that is from a big brand, that has a lot of stock, and just order it. I did my research and settled on the Trek Marlin 5, for a lot of reasons that are important to me and only me. Then I went to my local shop to order it. They were attentive and sat down at the computer with me and said, ya no. That's backordered until end of the year. It's April now and I don't want it in November. Left disappointed. I went home and searched Trek bikes in ever widening circles from where I live, and guess what? I found it, at Olson's Bike shop in Forest Grove, 24 miles from my home. I had given myself a limit of 150 miles, so this was pretty good. I called and left a message to let them know I wanted it and went to bed hopeful. When they opened in the morning I called again and the owner was funny. He said he was super busy but yes he had the bike. I said, I'M ON MY WAY. When I got there I walked in and there was a young guy putting a bike together and the owner behind the counter and he took one look at me and said, Marlin 5? I guess I had that wild look about me. The young guy got it down from a rack, I gave it a kick in the tires, and then we put it on the card! Getting it in the back of Sarah the Blue Fin Tuna (my mini cooper) wasn't as hard as it could have been, because the front tire comes off real easy. With disc brakes getting it on and off is a breeze and they made sure I knew how to do it before I left. I liked this shop, I liked the men working there, and I liked the way they treated me like a local customer, even though I'm not. They made it real easy and I was comfortable there. I would return for all my bike needs if it was closer to my home.

Trying really hard to like this new shop, but I'm dropping it down a star from my previous review…read more Why? I had mentioned to Markee to reach out to me when a Tiger 800 comes available (used or new) to see how I like that. Seeing one on their site, as we speak, I've gotten no call or follow up. Which means, to me? It feels like the same, typical dealer experience as everywhere else. Zero follow up and all they care about is a quick sale. Even after being a loyal customer, that's spent THOUSANDS of dollars at their previous shop. UPDATE: Markee finally called me back a few weeks after posting this. But to be honest, I kind of moved on from the bike.

They not only replaced the blade, but also the broken screw driver tool I had forgotten to mention, and even sent me a new sheath since after 20 years of use the original sheath was quite ragged. You just can't beat Gerber for quality or customer service. Thank you, Gerber.....Gary Willens/Los Angeles
