Jonathan and Andrew are always very responsive and expert in dealing with needed repairs. They troubleshoot issues on e-bikes quickly and are very reasonable when it comes to repair charges. read more

Excellent service and people. Best bike shop in the South Bay hands down. JP has serviced my family's ebikes for years. Never has he tried to up sell me, and always does exceptional work. He even took the time to help my teenage son with the purchase of his next ebike. Safety and quality were JP's priorities. If you have a kid with an ebike, come here. read more

The DropOut Cyclery - After - Bikes Near Me - Torrance, California

Great little bike shop in my old town Torrance area. Friendly staff, knowledgeable, clean shop, good for fixes. Small selection of bikes, mostly E bikes. Small selection of parts, tires, gloves, helmets, tubes etc. But can order any needed parts, bikes etc. Good hours of operation. God place for advise etc. I needed an insurance write up for my damaged bike and they really helped me out. I would use this shop again. read more

I had a good experience with this bike shop this week. I had numerous issues and they fixed them all and did so in a timely manner. Nice guys, good feeling in their shop. Victor and Jonathan certainly seem to know what they're doing! read more

We bought our e-bike for our daughter here a year ago. That was a nice experience. Everyone is helpful and kind. This time, our e-bike stopped working so we took it in. A part that was hard to get was needed so they ordered and fixed it for us in a timely manner. It wasn't cheap but it was necessary... we trust our bike with these guys! read more

Knowledgeable and helpful. Always squeeze me in when they can. Great shop and people.

I stopped by this shop purely off the strength of its reviews, hoping to get my tubeless tires resealed--and it absolutely lived up to the hype. It's a modest little spot tucked into a clean, quiet corner of Torrance, but the service is anything but small. I was greeted the moment I walked in, and Andrew immediately understood what my bike needed. No upsell, no nonsense--just sharp, efficient work. A few hours later, I got a text that everything was done. Smooth, straightforward, and exactly the kind of service you hope for but rarely get. read more

Such an amazing bike shop!!! Have come here a few times to order a few parts for my 90s specialized hardrock (commuter bike) and a few times for repairs on my Time Alpe D'Huez they fixed some of my errors when I built my bike and showed me how not to do it next time :) and every time they have been super helpful and patient. And in my most recent visit I came in to build a rear wheel with a new rear hub and they again were patient and honest instead of them allowing me to spend almost $400 on a rear wheel build on a more entry level rim they told me I could get a complete wheelset for that price which was amazing!! And it was a better wheelset than what I had. And after I went home and did some research they were once again super helpful with allowing me to upgrade to the Boyd CCC wheelset which is on order. Really cannot recommend a better bike shop for your ease of mind and for such an amazing crew where you will not feel out of place or like they are going to take advantage of you. read more

Throughout the service of my bicycle, I received exceptional customer service and communication.

The Dropout is easily one of the best bike shops around. Whether you're coming in for service, gear, or just to talk bikes, the whole place has an awesome vibe. You can tell it's built by people who actually ride and care about the community. Big shoutout to JP (Jonathan) and Andrew. They're both super knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and genuinely look out for you. No pressure, no upselling, just solid advice and great service. read more

Went in there for a new bike, great prices and excellent customer service. Thanks to the people that helped me

I needed to use their bathroom right before close during the Scaredown and they let me in no problem with directions all the way to the back then a right. With the limited amount of space they truly make the most of it, especially with their bathroom. They provide tampons and pads, there's a buday installed and also tp, multiple soap options, a coat rack, and hilarious , bike-related, potty humor paintings to top it all off. Im sure there's more I missed, so I took a few pictures. Overall excellent service for the 10 minutes I was (fully costumed) in there. read more

Great experience dealing with JP and Andrew. They both went above and beyond in providing customer service. Clear communication in person and via text. Andrew was very generous with his time and answered all of my questions (I had many). I will be back for sure. Thanks guys! read more

I was treated extremely rude at the bike shop. The problem was they quoted one price and then they changed it and told me that I didn't tell them the tube may have popped. I was very upfront and told them it was most likely the tube. I did tell them that there was a tube that popped on the tire so long story short they were extremely rude and argumentative and did not want to honor what they promised. I definitely will not be going back here. I would never treat a customer like this. I can see from the "Owners" response he cannot even be professional answering this review. Instead he is on a "RUDE" Campaign against anyone who thinks hes rude or doesn't agree with him. Calling a past customer or anyone for that matter a Karen is juvenile but this is the response you will get if you complain so beware! He is answering everyone who leaves a poor rating the same with disrespect and rudeness. Its really to bad as I really wanted to love this bike shop and give them my business. Boy I dodged a bullett! Go elsewhere folks! I left the review a few months later as my dad passed away shortly after I took the bike in to the shop, so my first priority was my elderly father in hospice. His recap of what transpired was of course a lie and to the extent he went to lie was insane! None of what he said is true but unfortunately customer service is at an all time low here. read more

Wrapped up a custom bike build with JP and Andrew and the bike came together beautifully. My number one shop for all things bikes.

The Dropout Cyclery are the best. They are very knowledgeable in traditional and e-bikes. They give it to you straight, always. They turn repairs around quickly. I'm a big big fan! read more

I have had some small to big maintenance done on a couple different e-bikes at DropOut and can't say enough good things. They are friendly, knowledgeable, and fast. It's the only shop I will give my business to. read more

I have been a customer for a few years. If you are looking for an E-bike, go see Jonathan at the DropOut. This is a very small business and they are about Customer service and satisfaction. In this day and age where everything is avail online, there is not much customer service or loyalty. If this is what you are looking for, you wont be disappointed. read more

I live in Anaheim and I was trying to sell a bike I had sitting in my garage. I found this place ALL the way in Torrance (traffic aint friendly lol). They gave me a honest estimate on how much the bike would sell for, what they would take, how it would be handled. Walked me through the entire process. They did all the work of cleaning up the bike, fixing anything that needed to be taken care of. I would never hesitate to use them again. read more

I dropped off my bike to have the stuck bottom bracket removed. They did great work, sent photos, and had the work done in one day. They even called to let me know how they got the bottom bracket out. The entire staff is helpful and professional. Thanks for the great work. read more

I drive 20 minutes to come to this place, passing other inferior bike equipment suppliers. Tremendous service, unusual kindness, and a knack for providing just what you needed at a fair price. My only complaint is not having more money to empty into the register for delicious, color coded, aerodynamic bike parts. They surely deserve it. One could say, a shining example of why it's important to support small business. Looking forward to my next bike problem so I can visit this gem, but they've got my bike so dialed I will have to wait. read more

Andrew helped explain to me the issues of my bike and what possibly went wrong with the busted inner tube. However, he was super helpful in educating me on what tires I should invest in for my beach cruiser for a better experience in riding my bike. Also I can't remember the guys name but he helped put my big cruiser into my small challenger lol thank you so much. Long story short Andrew accomplished the mission and I'm back on the beach cruising on the strand. Thank You both :) read more

Took my e bike in for a brake service. Was surprised when they told me it just needed to be adjusted. Was in and out in about 15 minutes. They also have a good selection of e bikes. Definitely will be back! Highly recommend this bike shop! read more

Love this bike shop!! They did a great job on 2 of my regular bikes, and they were also able to work on my sons Super 73 E-Bike (it was surprisingly difficult to find a bike shop that could/would help with E-bike repairs). They were knowledgeable, honest, prices were fair, and it was an overall positive experience. There is even a cool bird who lives inside the shop! Would recommend to anyone!! read more

This is an awesome local bike shop! At first I noticed that they had a bunch of e-bikes for sale outside, but as a roadie, when I saw that they had Lightweight and FFWD baseball caps, Origin kits, and some lovely burrito style handlebar bags, I knew I was in the right place. I was looking for a bit of a white whale...a saddle bag large enough to hold my hand pump that didn't look hideous. Luckily the owner, JP, pointed me in exactly the right direction, hooked me up with the perfect bag, and even gave my 5 year old son a hot wheels car! I couldn't have asked for a better experience. 5 stars, along with my thanks, for the Dropout Cyclery! read more

The DropOut Cyclery - The perfect saddle bag! - Bikes Near Me - Torrance, California

I don't recommend this place at all. I had high hopes and wanted to support a local business, but they behave like shady car mechanics that use scare tactics to tack on additional cost for people not knowledgeable about bikes. I've taken my bike here previously a couple of times and the work was pretty meh with poorly adjusted brake wires. However this recent time they literally told us the bike chain was stretched after 200 miles of riding which is absolute BS. I have a chain checker tool and know just how far the chains are worn. Be better. Update: Wow, I just read the business' response and my first thought is "how many people have they screwed over". Why you ask? Because they are talking about a completely different customer or just created a completely fictional story. Either way do better. Our community deserves a better bike shop than you're providing. Update 2: I can't believe I need to actually update this but they adjusted their response as well. Pretty silly since the original response was claiming that I was a different customer with a different issue. read more

I can credit Andrew for fixing my mom's transport wheelchair brakes and saving her from falls when she transitions from her wheelchair to the car, not to mention precarious slopes. He didn't know what to expect at first, but quickly saw that it was similar to old bike brakes. He had it fixed within 10 minutes and saved me from additional aggravation and worry. He was a life saver! I know I could've gone to a wheelchair sales store, which are not plentiful, but I also know I would be working with a sales person not a skilled fixit wiz. I knew the cable brakes on both sides lost its ability to stop the wheels. This posed an issue with her securely standing up or sitting down, not to mention having the chair roll on a slight slope. After struggling to fix it on my own three separate times I figured that a bike repair shop would be familiar with this set up. I also had to have this fixed quickly as we were meeting friends for a graduation. Luckily, Andrew checked it out, and with the right tools beyond mere wrenches, was able to fix it. Finally!!! Andrew was the expert we all need for critical wheelchair and transport wheelchair repairs! And it was done quickly at a reasonable price. Thank you so much, DropOut Cyclery! read more
