This is a newish bike shop, and I'm so glad they are here! I believe they were previously a mobile repair service, but now Straight Wheel has two locations: one in Half Moon Bay and one in San Mateo. They are a true community gem, as they lend their support to a local nonprofit that aids Coastsiders experiencing homelessness. Straight Wheel offers bike and accessory sales and repairs. I went there in search of a lock and found a good variety available. Service was attentive and friendly, unlike my experiences at another local bike shop. I'll definitely return soon for a tuneup. Straight Wheel is open 9-6 daily.

Tony got to work on my snapped gear cable & Bart was very personable and showed me the elbow pads I needed.

I've been a long fan of another cycling shop in Burlingame and haven't shopped here very often…read more When we purchased my son's last bike, they were just opening the Linda Mar location and didn't have an inventory to explore. They've settled in nicely and now have a nice inventory. Apparently, they've been a staple in Santa Cruz for some time. Anyway...about my experience yesterday. I stopped in on my way to my old favorite store, just to see if they had what I needed. I have already checked "In-Stock" inventory at the other store and knew they had the Park Tools Chain Tool that I needed. I was surprised that they not only had the model the other store had, they had two other models. One of higher quality and one of lesser (a starter "lite" version of a chain tool). I still went with the one I was originally looking at, but it was nice to see the options. I didn't expect to have that much of a choice. When I stopped in, there was only one employee working, but it didn't feel that way. He was helping a gentleman at the maintenance counter, a lady choosing a bike for her son and me all at the same time...and doing it well. I was even amazed that when I asked if they had chain tension clip (a small hooking clip that holds the chain where you need it while working with unconnected links). He simply said, "We usually make them out of old spokes...give me a minute and I'll make you one." It took two, but it was the perfect length and he made it for me for free. What a deal!!! While I don't expect them to have everything I will ever need...I usually have very specific needs for cycling gear, components and bikes, I will always check them first going forward!!!

I brought my e-bike to Epicenter to fix a skipping chain. They replaced the chain, I went for a…read moreride and the issue was not resolved. I went back to the bike shop and this time the replaced the cassette, total charge of $330. However, the issue persisted immediately after my first ride I returned the bike for a follow-up repair (third time is a charm I thought ), they kept it for three weeks. After that long wait, the manager simply told me they couldn't identify or fix the problem. Despite charging me a significant amount for a repair that didn't work, they took zero responsibility, offered no refund, and abruptly told me to take the bike and leave. I remained respectful and calm throughout, but the lack of technical knowledge and poor customer service was shocking. As an avid rider who has visited many shops, I've never experienced such a lack of professionalism. Save your time and money--take your bike elsewhere.

I bought my Sirrus in 2010 and I'm guilty of not doing any proper maintenance since then (grimace)…read more There are a handful of bike shops in the city but traffic and parking have prevented me from doing so. I am so GLAD to have found this location by the powers of Google as it's very close to where I live and traffic/parking will never be an issue. Paige & Kevin are awesome guys, and I received great tips for keeping my bike in tip-top shape. I hopped on the bike the moment I got home and took it for a mini test ride around my driveway and I could instantly feel the difference from before. It's a brand-new bike all around!!! Super thanks to you all!

As a SSF resident and an owner of several Specialized bikes, I was stoked to find they have opened…read morean authorized service and sales shop so close by. Recently, I've had 2 separate experiences within a week a week of each other. The first one, I was selling a bike on CL. A buyer living in Colorado asked if I could ship the bike and I was reluctant to do it. I suggested he call Specialized Bay Area to see if they can handle the packing and shipping of the bike, basically taking liability to get it shipped there. The transaction worked out perfectly where the buyer dealt directly with SBA on the shipping. Buyer Venmo'd me payment and received his bike in 3 days! Kudos to SBA for offering this service! The second experience. I was gonna go for a ride on the Levo this morning. Found a broken spoke. I texted the SBA and explained my problem, gave them a copy of my registration of the Roval wheels, and they said to drop it off any time. I stopped in @ 4pm on a Friday thinking to pick it up next week. One of the managers, Yoav replaced it on the spot, trued the wheel, lubed all the nipples, installed factory tubeless tape, all within 10 minutes! Best of all, the spoke repair was covered under warranty! Actually, the best of all was the staff were friendly and personable. :-) My bike was down for only a few hours! By far, the best experience I have had with a bike shop. I hope they stick around because I want I work here when I retire. Specialized for life!

Dave and his crew are amazing…read more I brought my newly painted, steel vintage Atala frame and a box of parts. We talked colors and how I like to ride (commuting, cruising the city) to determine which parts we'd keep and which they'd replace. The bottom bracket cup was lodged in pretty tight. Several bike shops were unable to remove it, but Dave and one of his bike specialists had the tools and the knowledge to remove the Italian parts. They even realigned the back triangle without messing up the fresh paint job. Dave built the wheels with white rims and purple hubs. They replaced the bent bottom bracket and gave me a Rivendell inspired chain guard. Quality work on an 50 year old bike frame. Towne Cycles put Moonlight Legend back on the road where she belongs.

I came in for a custom bike consultation and david took the time to listen to my wishlist of…read morefeatures in a new bike. There weren't any frames that fit me in the shop, so he opened up facebook marketplace and we scrolled on there together until we found a frame that made sense + a color I liked. He went and picked that bike up and completed the rest of the build within about a week! Really appreciate the conversations had, the patience, and the community. They've also got local shows in their backyard Nextdoor one a month. Such a dope space and I've been recommending this shop to everyone :) took this new bike for a 10mi ride and everything's smoooth. thanks so much david and towne cycles friends!!
