    Armen is the man! He's given me a lot of great advice on what kind of things I can do to upgrade my bike, as well as have better performance. He's very meticulous and detail-oriented when it comes to his service, and highlights the different things he look for. I highly recommend his drivetrain cleaning monthly service, as well as his bike fit. I trust his advice and I trust him with my bikes.

    Armen and his colleagues are VERY friendly and communicative! I wanted a simple tune-up and to look into options around cleaning up a scratch and terrible paint repair by the shop I bought the bike (new!) from in downtown LA. While that shop was not very helpful in coming up with solutions (and flat out told me there was nothing they could do), Armen took a look at them and helped brainstorm a delightfully creative solution - add reflective white tape to the front forks to cover the scratch and add some subtle flair! He even let me take some of the tape home so I could apply it myself in the way I was envisioning, with helpful advice on how to apply to achieve the best results. My bike is now in excellent working condition, tuned up, scratch- and blemish-free, and ready to take over the streets!

    Even went riding the same day! Thanks Elmer!

    I am sure everyone knows how hard it is to find a good bike mechanic, but look no further! Elmer at Bicycle Pit Stop is your man. I just bought a bike from Canyon, and surprise surprise, something was wrong with my bike and the rear wheel would not free spin. I contacted Canyon and DT Swiss, which were both no help, and then brought it to Elmer. He took the thing apart and fixed the issue for me same day. He tuned up my bike and made sure everything else was working perfectly. Spectacular service! He even kept in touch with me via text as he worked on the bike. This is my new go to bike shop. Thanks Elmer!

    Horrible job fixing my flat tube. The tube bubbled and then popped the next day. Dude wasn't very friendly and was a know it all. Could've just simply fixed my tube but insisted my bike wasn't a good bike and his were. He was also a little condescending smh. I paid $140 to fix my flat tire and now it's flat again almost instantly. He wouldn't even tell me what was the cause of the flat besides a splinter? Yeah ok... never going back there

    Armen the owner is very tentative and looks after every customer. He did a full overhaul tune and fitting for my TREK postal at a great price. Rode a century right after confidently and fast! Best bike store in the area forsure.

    Sweet setup at new spot!

    It just doesn't get old, bringing my bike to Armen and his protege Elmer at this elite bike shop. My bike continues to feel/ride better than ever. Amazing work and the difference is the "Pride" that Armen thrives on when he touches my bike and the rest. Soon he'll be relocating to Alhambra, California. Bring your bike(s) in for service or upgrade ideas.. you'll see what I'm talking about. Thanks Armen and Elm!!

    I eventually asked Armen to help me pick out and then fitted a bike for my size - he's awesome and also saved me a lot of $$$ :)

I talked with him about what I needed done and he reassured me that it would be taken care of and if anything additional was needed they would call me. I went and picked up my bike when it was finished. My bike felt brand spanking new again. All that was expected was done. Nothing else I could ask for. I was so very happy. Thank you TrailHead Bike Shop, very much appreciate all the work that was done. This will be my go to bike shop for all my needs. Again, thank you!

I came here from a good friend Peter recommendation to pay a visit to Trail Head and speak to Esteban. Boy what a great experience and I'm glad I did. Esteban helped me with my suspension setup and also serviced my bike after a 2 week Whistler Trip. He gave my Glory a tune up, change the pads, changed my tires, and even replaced a Rear Shock Spring for me, and slapped in a new chain. Although I brought some parts, especially some spare Assegai tires I've had for sometime, Esteban will tell you what works, and his recommendations which makes things better to understand and why. I picked up my bike super clean and ready to rock again. Trail Head Bike Shop and Esteban is my go to shop now for all my bikes and services! Thank you Esteban!

    This is the only time I've been compelled to write a yelp review…read more I recently purchased some new caliper brakes for my bike. Upon installation I noted that my brake cables and cable housing needed to be replaced. I can do this myself and have many times before. I usually do my own bike maintenance, and have for years, unless it's something I don't have the tools or knowledge to fix. In this case I simply didn't want to be bothered ordering cables and housing and decided to take it to have done. First impression of the shop is grimey, cluttered and disorganized. I explained what I wanted done and the proprietor quoted me a reasonable price and gave me a reasonable time frame for the work to be done. Everything seems great so far. I arrive for pick up, first thing I notice is that my bike is in the center of a bike sandwich leaning against one of the walls. Concern.gif. He removes it none too gently. Cable has been replaced, I note that the rear cable adjuster is in the maximum position that you would use to tighten the cable. I begin to spin the adjuster to check cable tension when the proprietor tells me vehemently to not touch it. I wonder why, explain this is the cable tension adjuster and I'm adjusting it. He again tells me not to touch it. I actuate the (also new) brake lever, and it feels spongy, not crisp, and doesn't fully spring back into place. I voice my concerns at which point he squeezes the brakes a couple of times and tells me it's fine. It is not. I again reach for the adjuster and he again tells me not to touch it, his voice raising, saying it twice. I think that I'll just have to take it elsewhere, thank him and leave. Outside I examine his "work," more closely and note that the cable tension adjuster is non functional, and that now there is half of an internal component of the tensioner, a washer?, protruding from the new caliper brake. I attempt to adjust the tensioner. It is non functional. I return into the shop and point out the damage, and demonstrate the tensioner does not work. He again says not to touch it. I explain that it is designed to be touched, it is for adjustments. He tells me he does not see the washer, which is believable as he's quite old, and that he didn't touch that part, yet he would have had to when installing the cable. I'm getting upset at this point, another customer waiting for service overhears this exchange and decides against this shop, telling me "Sorry, bro," as he wisely wheeled his bike out and presumably to a better shop. That was my experience, lesson learned. Sometimes you can judge a book by it's cover. My only thought now is that I hope my rear caliper isn't permanently damaged. Addendum: also noted some fresh cosmetic damage as well.
