    Owner Robert, myself, and a friend outside the shop
    Krista M.

    If you're a triathlete in the LA area, run, bike, or swim your way over to Triathlon Lab in Redondo Beach. This place is incredible and I first stopped in after a triathlon clinic in the area as I was preparing for my very first Ironman 70.3 in Oceanside. I was blown away by how incredible Triathlon Lab is and I left wondering why I didn't come here sooner!!! Robert, the owner, is not only incredibly knowledgeable but he's also beyond generous with his time and advice. I never felt rushed or pressured, just genuinely supported. You can tell he cares about the sport and the people in it. My bike also got some much needed TLC as one of the bike mechanics swapped out a tire for me - using one I brought in... They only gave me what I truly needed and never tried to upsell me. I loved checking out all that the store offers while my bike was at the spa. Whether you're a first-timer like I was or a seasoned triathlete, TriLab in Redondo Beach seriously has everything you could possibly need: wetsuits, aero bottles, running nutrition, goggles, bike shoes, tubes, saddles...you name it. And the best part? If you're a member of LA Tri Club, you get a discount! As someone who trains with friends and clubs all around LA, it feels great to walk into a shop where the community connection is real. All in all - Thank you, Robert and team, for creating such a welcoming space for athletes at every level. You've got a lifelong customer in me.

    Broken inner cage RD7900

    This was my second time using Triathlon Lab's service department, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The first time, I brought in two bikes and spent over $1,000 for upgrades, parts, and service. On one of the bikes, the shop attempted to charge me for a derailleur extender that was already installed before I ever brought the bike in. I had installed it myself when upgrading to a wider-range cassette. Since Triathlon Lab did not change the cassette, I'm still confused why they believed this was a part they added. I had to explain this to both the manager and mechanic before the charge was removed. After picking up the same bike, I immediately noticed another issue: the spacers between the two front chainrings were too wide, causing the chain to get stuck between them. I discovered this within two minutes of a simple test ride in the parking lot when the chain immediately became stuck Inbetween the front chain rings. Had the bike been properly test-ridden after service, this problem would have been obvious and could have been corrected before I arrived. The shop offered me a used 105 crank as a replacement and only charged me for labor which was appreciated. More recently, I had the shop install a set of carbon wheels on a different bike. Unfortunately, the same concern came up again. it does not appear that the bike was test-ridden after the work was completed. On my very first ride, while shifting into the lowest gear approaching a climb, the rear derailleur was pulled into the spokes and carbon fiber inner cage snapped. This is another issue that likely would have been caught with a quick gear check and test ride. I called the shop to explain what had happened and the mechanic said the bike had not been tested after the installation of the new carbon wheels because I had not requested a tuneup. This was true, but regardless, after changing anything that is critical to proper function of a bicycle, any good shop with test ride the bike to make sure nothing was wrong. The Mechanic offered to install replacement parts if I would bring them to the shop for free. However, the derailleur in question, a Dura ace RD 7900. Is no longer manufactured and finding replacement parts is very difficult. I ended up buying a "for parts" replacement and fixing the broken Derailleur myself. Their negligence cost me an additional $80 and weeks without the use of my bike. My cervelo is over 10 years old, hopefully they treat newer more expensive bikes with more time and attention. Based on these experiences, I don't feel confident returning for future service. If you do choose to use Triathlon Lab, I strongly recommend taking a careful test ride around the block afterward and checking the bike for full functionality yourself to ensure everything is working properly.

    Came in for a helmet and was quickly welcomed and assisted. They had a large selection to choose from and the worker helped me decide based on my cycling experience. Great spot!

    Been trying to get time to check this place out. Wife needed good shoes for her Peloton Bike...ordering online sucks. For starters...they show opening time 10am...we for there slightly early and they still welcomed us in. Jerry and Howie were friggen awesome! Very knowledgeable, personable, didn't try and sell her the most expensive shoe ...but the most appropriate shoe for her needs. Asked Jerry some questions about our daughters E-Bikes...they have a huge repair area. And damn their selection of bikes and accessories is astounding. Again...made us feel right at home ...very sincere and legit place. Will be back 4 sure.

    Consistently one of the best triathlon stores in all of Southern California. As more and more bicycle shops and specialty bike shops close up or become harder to fine, Triathlon Lab has continued to hold its ground and serve the Triathlon community. If you're a triathlete, or thinking about getting into triathlons, these guys will guide you from beginner to elite as you grow with the sport. Highly recommend The shop. Not only will they do their best work. They will also fix whatever work was not done as well as it could've been to make sure that you were happy on your next training effort.

After waiting two weeks, I received a text saying the bike was ready and that the total would be $89.99, including parts and labor. When I arrived to pick up the bike, I was told the price would actually remain $120 because they had to order "special oil." I was confused since their text clearly stated $89.99 including parts and labor. I also mentioned that I appeared to have been double-charged and tried to show the owner the charge on his phone. He refused to look, checked his computer, and said it showed only one charge and told me to contact my credit card company. Later that day, my son rode his bike and came home after about an hour saying his rear brake wasn't working. He had to slam on his front brake to stop and ended up crashing. He came home with a bruised and scraped knee and a sprained wrist that now requires him to wear a brace for a month. I immediately called the shop and was told to bring the bike back in. The owner said the issue was a "glazed rotor" and that we needed a new rotor. I declined the additional service. What's concerning is that the bike was returned to us with a rear brake that did not function properly. Instead of taking responsibility, the owner accused my son of doing wheelies, which is simply not the case. Overall, this was a very disappointing experience. The pricing was inconsistent, concerns about billing were dismissed, and most importantly, the bike was returned in an unsafe condition. I would strongly recommend others double-check their work before riding

The beach trail was fantastic. The lady there was really thorough and good about explaining how to use the bike, points of interests and events going on by the beach, and answering our questions. She spoke clearly and at a slower pace so we really understood everything well. The bikes were cruiser-style bikes. They sell e-bikes as well and had many on sale. The bad: They don't have options for kids' seats or trailers. The interesting: There's no age requirement but you have to be at least 4'10" (?) ish or taller to ride their bikes. They'll give you a bike based on your height. You're given a bike lock as well. The basket in the front is stuck to the frame so it doesn't move with the direction of the front wheel.
