    5-star service! Good people! Wylie is awesome!…read more Some background... I bought my Trek Madone from another store. After nearly 10 rides, my front brake assembly flew right off!!! And just before the start of an 100-mile organized ride in Wilmot, Wi! The nut had fallen of during a warm up ride, and the on site mobile bike shop didn't have a spare. He zip tied the cable to the frame and handed me the assembly. Fast forward two cycling seasons (did not ride last year due to injury. *unrelated to bike assembly )... On the first ride of this season, last month (July, 2015), my buddy got a flat tire after running over a piece of a shoe sole that had a nail in it. When the piece of sole fell out, the tire went completely flat. He started walking his bike, and we soon found ourselves at this new-ish bike shop. It was about a mile away. The only person in the place was Wylie. He was ultra helpful! He took care of my buddy's flat in no time! While we were waiting, I figured it was a good time to get my brake assembly fixed. I asked Wylie if he had a nut to repair my brake assembly. He said that he didn't think he did but would call a nearby shop (Sam's?) to see if they could help. I didn't have the assembly with me, but it was in my truck (~10 miles away). Wylie called the shop and said he could help. I told him I'd be back after we finished our ride to pick up the part. About 2hrs later, I stopped by the shop and Wylie had the part delivered within 5 minutes! He even put the brake assembly back on the bike for me! No charge! 5-star service! Good people! Wylie is awesome!

We rode to Mill Race to see if they had a replacement tire, which they did. The new tire and tube were installed and I also bought a spare tube to put in my bag. I also asked them to order another tire so that I could replace the front. I received notification that the tire was in. I went to pick it up and they had ordered the wrong tire. I asked for a refund and ordered my own. I used my spare tube when I changed the tire, so I went to Mill Race, today, to get a replacement spare tube. I brought the box from the tube and asked to buy another. Fortunately, I checked the tube box as it was being rung up as it was the wrong tube (schrader vs presta). When the Mill Race employee went to get the correct tube, he brought out 2 boxes and asked what size I needed. I told him to check the box that I brought in. "It's already been thrown out", he told me. I said I just brought it in a few minutes ago. Long story short, he sold me the wrong size, so I'll be going back tomorrow. Who knew buying tires and tubes for a common road bike would be so challenging.

We covered 10 miles before returning the bikes. Although the rental was a bit pricey (hence the 4-star rating), we enjoyed a scenic trail along the Fox River from Batavia to St. Charles. This is an excellent place to test drive e-bikes if you're considering purchasing one.

This is a 9" long, two conductor cable that runs from the brake handle to the control wire harness. I tells the controller when the brake is being applied so the controller can shut off the motor and light up the brake light. This is a 2-pin cable with proprietary connectors on either end. I called Boj-E-Bikes to have them mail me a replacement cable (I live 1.5 hours away from their shop). First I was told to bring the bike in. I explained that the only problem was the broken connector (I had swapped the identical cable from the other brake for the broken one and the brake worked fine). I further explained that it would be three hours of driving for me and asked if they could just send me a cable and I'd pay with a credit card. After a short hold the person at Boj-E-Bikes came back on the phone and indicated they could do that but it would be about $100 (including shipping) but they didn't have any in stock. I said "wait a minute, we're talking about a 9", two conductor cable you can send in an envelope, and it will cost me $100!!" That's what I'm being told, was his reply. I obviously said no thanks...click. I emailed Mokewheel asking if I could purchase a replacement cable from them directly. They responded with 2 hours with a link to a purchase order page already filled out and simply waiting for my CC information. The cable was $15, shipping was $10 for a grand total of $25. Still a little pricey, but it's the correct part and will take about 30 seconds to install (the longest part being wrapping the cable retainer around it and the other cables on that side of the handle bar). Mokwheel provided top shelf service on their product. Boj-E-Bikes (which claims to have great service) proved to me they don't know their handle bars from their axles when it comes to service. If after-the-sale service is important to you, think twice before dealing with these people.

I'll try this…read more I had to listen to a performative dood talk emanating from the floor worker to a customer about chain lubricant that went on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. And on an on an on an on and on. And on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on. And on and on and on and on and on an on and on and on and on and on. It was a long time. I waited. And I waited some more. I did some serious waiting five feet away in a red sweater. No acknowledgment. No letting me know it might be a while. But that would've likely stopped the upselling I started to see. So I turned me and my bike around and left. It's hard for me to be on my feet that long. That's why I bike. Dood has a right to be into his subject matter. Usually shops want you to feel comfortable and respected as somewhat of a priority, even if you aren't being directly pitched at the moment... it just was not a good vibe. All doods working there when I was in. Way heavy on the dood vibe. Captive audience syndrome. Sigh. Dood has to do what a dood does. I avoid places like this. Going to the bike collective in Rogers Park instead next time.

Other years we've adopted a used bike that needs some TLC. This week they are working on upgrades to my kids' road bikes to make them better suited to racing on the velodrome in Northbrook. As always, the guy who helped us (Kyle) was knowledgeable about the options and had good advice about how to proceed. I knew that would be the case and knew that the shop is always fair about labor costs, which is why I brought the bikes back from Northbrook to have the work done. Long story short, this place is great, and you won't regret giving it your business.
