    I meant to write this a while back but just kept putting it off…read more I was in Bentonville/Bella Vista for the Oz Trail stage race at the end of May. I was having some shifting issue and could not get the micro-adjust to fix the problem. I ran by the shop and with very short notice the mechanics put the bike in the stand and made the repair. To top it off, after a very muddy first stage, my shock lockout quit working. Once again, Phat tire to the rescue. Those folks in the shop are ON IT! Thanks tons for keeping me rolling!

    I've rented from Phat Tire Bella Vista for the past few years after my son moved to NWA. I'm here…read moreat least twice a year. Always had great service. Until this past 3-day rental in April. I rent eMTBs due to being 62 and double knee replacements. I wouldn't be in the sport if were not for electrification. At first, I was happy to rent a brand-new Trek Rail. I'd be the first to ride it. However, to my dismay, I couldn't ride 2.5 miles without the chain popping off. It popped off 3 times. And then the chain broke within 4.0 miles of starting my one and only ride. Also, one cleat on my SPD pedals wasn't able to adjust tension and my shoe would pop out too easy. IMO this bike hadn't been fully ride tested prior to being rented. After I skateboarded my bike back to the parking lot and returned the bike, I was utterly miffed on being charged to replace the chain with a halfhearted apology from the store manager, Adam. I pleaded my case to no avail and was told I should've taken the insurance and "that's how the bike rental business works..." seams like customer Disservice to me. I considered myself a loyal Phat Tire customer. My rant continues: If I purchased a brand-new bike, a broken chain would be covered under warranty, especially with less than 2 hours of use. Also given the fact that the chain kept popping off, the bike needed better tuning. I can't believe I spent more than $400 dollars for a 3-day rental as I did just last November. I certainly did not get my money's worth. In fact, I feel ripped off. Shame on me. I was unable to get on the bike on day one or day two of my 3 day rental due to other time commitments. Rental day 3 didn't get me out on the bike till 4:30 PM. (I was going to pay an $20 overnight fee to ride till 7:00 PM. After the shop closed) More than $400 for less than 1 hour of total ride time. A fancy lawyer doesn't make that an hour. But that's on me due to my scheduling conflicts. Something changed. I don't know what. Maybe corporate Phat Tire sought expansion by partnering or selling to a private equity firm or maybe the team at the Bella Vista shop is overworked, underpaid or just not engaged in customer service. Or maybe it's me and I just had a bad day. I don't feel that if I'm spending $120+ a day for a bike rental that I shoulder have to take extra time from my day/ride to adjust my seat, pedals and fix chains that derail much less have to pay for chain. All I know is I like to ride and when I'm traveling around the US or Canada and I can fit it into my schedule, I'll bring my bike or rent a bike. This has brought me great memories, lots of fun and good health. Not this past time...

    A friend of mine and myself rented bikes from this place and wish that I hadn't. The bikes were…read moredirty when we picked them up and that should have been an indication of things to come but we were excited to hit the trails. We paid extra for premium e-bikes and they were trash, the first day the front chainring came off my friends bike and that caused the chain to break, we had to wait for the shop to come out and fix it. Both bikes had bald tires that made riding very sketchy and dangerous. On the second day I got a flat and I am glad we had a spare tube with us because all the sealant was dried up. Also the motors kept overheating and we had to constantly stop. And don't even ask about the noise the bikes made, lube and check the bearings, it was absolutely a horrible riding experience. When we returned the bikes I was supposedly given a $160 refund that never showed back up on my card. When I told them about the tires they didn't care and just put the bikes back for the next sucker to rent, people are going to get hurt from these heaps. Do yourself a favor and find another company to rent from!

    Absolutely love the team at Mojo! Any time I've stopped in they are always friendly, helpful, and…read moremost importantly welcoming! Whether you are just window shopping or buying accessories for your bike, they are always ready to help.
