    I recently moved to the St. Louis area and needed significant work on my high-end tandem. The Hub…read morewas strongly recommended by local family and neighbors. I was a bit nervous as I wasn't sure of the store's attitude on servicing bicycles they didn't sale or of their experience with tandems. Well, they put my mind at rest immediately. The technician asked me what problems I was experiencing, did a quick look over the bike and gave me his initial thoughts on what was needed. He called me the next day and thoroughly explained what had to be done and what might be postponed. The service was completed promptly, accurately and at an amazingly fair price. I've found my ne bicycle shop!

    I recently went in the store to kill some time before a lunch meeting nearby the shop. The shop…read morewas clean and seemed to have a good selection of reasonably priced bikes. Two employees at separate times asked me if I needed assistance. I told them I was just browsing. As I walked by the repair area, there was a man working on a bike. I have an e-bike that I need to bring to a shop to replace the front triangle. I asked the mechanic if I could ask him a question. Initially, he seemed to either ignore me or not hear me. I just stood there not knowing why there was this extended awkward pause. He eventually turned his head and stared at me saying nothing. He was visibly irritated. At this point, I felt like I was not welcome and was bothering the man. I asked if they work on e-bikes. He grudgingly answered the question. I walked out of the store and probably will never comeback. The only reason I did not give a one star rating is because of the two gentlemen who asked me if I needed anything. Some bike shop people forget they have a job because of customers like me who ask questions. I gave him the chance to create a bond and he blew it.

    A small store that's well out of my area. But, I was picking up an event tag here for an upcoming…read moreride. In the 15 minutes I browsed the store after getting my tag no one asked if they could help me; someone acknowledged me on my way in and another on my way out. I was looking for small accessories and not large ticket items. Since they're available at discount retailers and other bike shops I decided to seek them out closer to home.

    Extremely poor service. I brought my bike in for a tune-up under my plan and they suggested I get…read morea new chain, which was fine. I picked the bike up and withing 25 miles the rear tire shredded on one side. I returned to the shop and was told this was just normal "wear and tear" and had nothing to do with the tune-up. I asked if an examination of the tires was nto something done in a tune-up, and they promptly told me that they have no way of knowing when a tire will shred or become unusable. The shredding was considered "a coincidence". I equate this to taking my car into the shop and know they will look at all the vital parts (tires included) and make recommendations on them. They seem to know what the remaining life span of a tire is I ended up having to buy a new tire and tube, which they would not even give me a discounted price on. They also mentioned that the tune-up plan I had purchased should have never been sold with the bike (not sure what that was all about...). I have been to many of the other bike shops in town and they are knowledgeable and thorough. These folks seem to be in it just for the money. Don't go here unless you really are in a bind. Go to a place where they know what they are talking about.

He happily allowed me to divert the package to his shop for assembly. He assembled it quickly and let me send my spouse on a fake mission to his shop to be surprised by the shiny new BMX sitting in there. It was so nice to have someone actually respond to this via email and coordinate so well with me. There are a lot of things I hate about living in Soulard but this bike shop is easily in the 'great' column!

    It really pains me to do this, but... I had heard so many great things about Matt LaBerta. When a…read morecrack in the frame was discovered on my 2015 Raleigh Clubman, I had no qualms about leaving it with him. He originally stated in early January of 2022 it would take 2 to 3 months - TOPS. By the end of March, I was beginning to wonder and shot off an email. He stated with recent "equipment failures" at his shop, he was running way behind. A little communication here would've gone a long way. Would it kill ya to send out emails to customers letting them know? The bike was picked up on April 30, 2022. Now for the disgusting part; realizing the saddle height was a tad too high, I went to loosen the retaining bolt. It snapped in half. OK...OK...the bike is almost 7 years old. It could've happened at any time. But, the seat-post itself was very hard to move up or down. Upon finally getting the seat-post extracted, I was SHOCKED to see & feel there was NO lube or grease either on the seat-post or in the tube. The crack he repaired was at the junction of the seat-post tube & the top tube. Anyone with cycling knowledge whatsoever knows better. Good way for that seat-post to rust over time & get seized inside the tube - permanently!
