Man! I'll never do business with Mountain Rentals in Loveland!…read more My kids and I rode our bikes from northwest Loveland to Dairy Queen today, and my son's handlebars needed to be tightened. I have no clue how the Allen screw loosened, but they kept rotating while he was riding. So after getting an ice cream we rode over to Mountain Rentals and I sent him inside to ask to use an Allen wrench. He came back out a minute later and said he couldn't do it. So I went inside and smiled and said, "Hey his handlebars are loose and we would like to just borrow an Allen wrench. We can stand right there by the front door and it will only take like 3 seconds." The dude refused. He said, "The shop tools are only to be used inside the shop, and we don't work on bikes." I'm honestly floored he would refuse. I bet you could walk into 49 other shops with tools and they would gladly offer goodwill to a community member in an awkward situation--potentially dangerous, even.

Far and away my favorite shop anywhere!…read more I've bought two rods/reels (Orvis and Abel both...hard to go wrong with that combo!), also a more budget friendly Orvis reel for a spare rod of mine (Nick recommended to go lower end on the reel...didn't try to push me into something too expensive as he knew my goal), and endless amounts of other items. Nick and the staff are awesome at listening to you and setting you up with the right stuff! It's refreshing to go to a shop and have someone not try to push you into something expensive, but instead explain it all and give you ALL the options, no-prejudgement at this shop. With that said my two rods (Helios F and Superfine), were not cheap, but are amazing! And also exactly as described by Nick. He couldn't have done a better job of educating me and setting me up! My relaxation time is on the river and I know Nick and the staff at Mountain Fly Shop have my back, understand how little time I have in my life to enjoy it, and they take care of me so well that I never have to worry whether or not I'm going to enjoy that time. The best in Fort Collins no doubt!!!
