Temple City Bike Shop

I went to this bike store as they carried Dahon bikes + Dahon replacement parts. I needed some frame magnets & they exceeded my expectations with the help I got!
Pros:
–The staff here are bicycle guru’s! They can fix & tune up ANYTHING.
–Ron went the extra mile & helped me tweak my bike as he noticed my frame /​cranks were a bit loose. What GREAT service!
–They are conveniently located on Las Tunas Dr /​Temple City Blvd.
Conclusion: if I ever have issues with my bike then I will come here for quality work!

I called this morning and spoke to someone about my problem. My bike seat keeps slipping and moving around every time I ride it. I’ve tightened it many times and it keeps happening. I told the guy on the phone this and that I wanted to buy a new seat with a new bracket. He said to come on in, he could help. So I get my bike in the car (which is not easy) and drive to the bike shop. When I bring my bike in, an older man with grey hair helps us out. I tell him how my bike keeps slipping and he said all I needed to do was tighten the bracket. I told him I’ve already done that and maybe I need a new bracket. He told me «I don’t know how it can slip after being tightened». Ummmmm, ok? I guess he can’t help me? He doesn’t believe me when I say it’s slipping? I’ve googled this problem and it seems common enough that someone who works in a BIKE SHOP should know that seats slip sometimes! People online say you need to grease up the bike seat shaft, or you need to use a stronger bracket, which is what I asked the guy about! I guess he didn’t want my business because he just dismissed me and said my bike seat shouldn’t slip, even though I know for a fact it still slipped after being tightened! So now I need to go to another bike shop because he didn’t want to help me. If you want to deal with nice helpful people who know some things about bikes, DONT COME HERE! They don’t believe potential customers.

I call up to see if they have brake pads for my Hayes ElCamino brakes and the gentleman tells me, «Yes we have plenty in stock and can take care of you».
With that information, I jump in my car and make the trip from Monrovia to their store, Not close by any means.
When I get there, the guy brings out 2 sets of Hayes brake pads, none of which are for the ElCamino brake system.
He had no clue what the customer needed and then answered the phone and started a conversation with another person in the phone which lasted 5 minutes.
Why am I made to wait after you waste enough of my time telling me something that wasn’t true.
I don’t see this store making to for too much longer, sad to say and I hate writing reviews like these but this got under my skin after I left he place.
Thanks to temple city bike store for wasting about 90 minutes of my day. Thinking about your bottom line instead of your customers needs

Great shop, excellent staff, friendly and very helpful on all aspects of what works for every individual style of riding to fit ur needs. Excellent machanics on site to tune, adjust and lube your bikes right where they need to be! One of the last original still going strong family owned businesses in town!

Best shop in the ‘hood–
I WAS upset a few months ago. Except I was ready to buy some $ 1500 wheel set and am too busy to come by the shop to drop off a deposit. Live 20 minutes away. Paypal, Venmo, credit card # over the phone? Nope, nope and nope.
NO sale.
In today’s world, need a bit of flexibility to compete. And that is truly a $ 1500 wheel set sale lost, from a customer who spent $ 3000+ on 2 bikes from TCBS a couple years ago.

Stopped by this past weekend for a quick bike check to see if I needed any work on my drive train. The mechanic gave it a look on the stand, said it was in good shape, gave me a tip or two and a complimentary spot tightening of my headset and I was off.
It’s nice not being oversold.
Thanks, Dave and Ron.
I’ll be back!

Great service and great products. I just dislike it when I walk into a store and everyone ignores me. Yeah maybe I’m browsing, maybe I don’t like to be bothered, but that’s what online is for. I came in wanting service and this store delivered. I will be back someday and get a bicycle once I get a tax refund. Am eyeing at those composite frame bicycles and drooling.
They also have a repair section, great knowledge and great prices, I recommend this bike shop and was not paid to leave this review.

Came here for just to buy a replacement tire. The customer service is good and the pricing is reasonable.

This is a great bike shop. I called and asked if they could fix my flat stroller tires in about an hour and they said yes. I drove strait there, I was meet by a gentlemen who I assume was the owner and he was very helpful. He looked at my tires and suggested that they just needed air and not new tubes. I went to a couple other bike shops and they both told me that they needed to order new tubes for my brand of tire. I’m so glad I didn’t commit to ordering new tires and instead called Temple City Bike Shop. He filled up my tires and didn’t charge me. I’m so happy that he didn’t try to take advantage of me by charging me for something I didn’t need. I will be purchasing a bike soon and I know who I will give my business to. Thank you TCBS!

If you want to buy a bike, this is the place to get it! Parking is a little difficult so I usually park on the street and walk to the shop. I got my bike here about a year ago. When me and my boyfriend came to look at the bikes, the owner did not rush us into getting one. He took his time explaining the different types of bike and helped me figure out what kind and size of bike would be a good fit for me. And now a year later, I figure it’s time to get a maintenance check so I brought it back. The owner was super nice and honest about the condition of my bike. I also asked him to add a kickstand to the bike. The owner provided really fast service and everything was so cheap. He only charged me for the kickstand and the replacement parts I needed for my bike.

This is a small neighborhood bike shop. Mechanic & bike’s, parts for sale. I had my frame swapped out & they did a pretty good job. No real issues, just a couple of tweaks here and there. A good, solid local shop for those in need.

Best bike shop around. We bought 2 kids bike. Ron was so patient with the kids. It’s made a world of difference shopping with a knowledgeable bike expert. This was a big investment for the kids to last years to come

Awesome! This Bike shop is in my own city. The Owner Rocks, He knows his stuff and does great work. You get what you pay for and the prices are great here.

You want a bike for yourself, you go to them. You need a divorce lawyer, don’t go to them. You want a bike for your kids, you go to them. You want Chinese dumplings, don’t go to them. You want a bike for your wife, you go to them. You want boba, you don’t go to them. You want a bike as birthday gift, you go to them. You want a golf set, don’t go to them…

I’ve been to 5 or 6 different shops looking for a new bike. Temple City Bike Shop by far has THE BEST customer service. Ron is so great. Very friendly, super informative and so helpful!
I’m definitely coming back with the kids when I’m ready to make a purchase!

I love supporting local «mom & pop» shops as much as possible and Temple City Bike Shop is worthy of my business. Target and Walmart? NO!
Ron was super friendly and helpful in my latest bike purchase. So far I have purchased two from the shop and I have been pleased both times.
As long as you are in the market for a Specialized brand bike and you are in the SGV, you may as well pay them a visit. They do charge the MSRP, so you should be aware of that. They would have received 5 stars if they discounted their prices, but it is a mom & pop shop after all, so I can’t blame them too much.

Came in for replacing tires in my baby stroller. Great service and asked me first if only air was needed to make sure I wasn’t spending extra. I actually needed replacements for holes I tires but I appreciate the guy wasn’t trying to rip me off. Took care of labor and everything within 10 minutes. Will definitely be coming back again for my other bike needs

This is my first time writing bad review for business.
I sent my bike into the shop and ask them to pump up my suspension because it was too soft, they went on mozo website and called customer service to find factory setting, but no body answer the phone.
They tried to pump the air after and the suspension was still too soft, so they told me that my suspension is broken. At the end I bought a suspension pump from them for $ 39 +$ 10 labor.
I went home and did some research online and found out there are two places to pump my suspension, one for posative psi and one negative psi. I played around with the psi setting and my suspension worked just fine after. So why am i paying them labor for not fixing any thing at all instead of telling me my bike suck and might need to be returned.
I got my carbon mtb from amazon, and it is made from one of the well known chinese brand called beiou. It’s not popular here but it doesn’t mean they make bad product. However the guy there keep telling me that i shouldn’t buy bike that is made in China or Taiwan. Doesn’t he know that must of american bike components are made either in taiwan or China?
There is another time, i brought my bike to the shop and ask them give me a quote for tune up. The mechanic guy told me it would be around $ 130-​$ 150. WHAT!!! Other bigger shop like Giant in rowland only cost $ 60 for tune up, and they ask for $ 130. No way!

Temple City Bike Shop is great. I’ve been coming to this LBS for a couple years now and have purchased two bicycles from them so far. Both times, Ron and his staff were very helpful in finding the exact bike I was looking for.
First was a 2013 Tricross Comp Disc. The shop didn’t have any Tricross’ in stock, but they were able to order the bike without hassle. The bike was delivered on time and they did a good job with fitting. Also included was free maintenance for a year (although they still help me out after I crash and screw something up).
After beating up the gravel on the Tricross, it was time to hit the blacktop. I came in looking for a Venge with Sram components. In the 2015 lineup, there was only one model that had exactly what I wanted: The Lunch Race. Ron was able to source the Lunch Race in my desired size 54 frame (mind you, only one is made each month). I also purchased this bike in October, two months before it was made available on the US website.
If you have a perfect bike in mind, come in and run your ideas past these guys. You never know what they might come up with.

Who da man? Ron Da Man!
Went to this establichment to shop for a mountain bike and all I have to say is… it was a wonderful experience. Ron was profession, informative, and patient in explaining to me the differences between all the mountain bikes they had in the store. They mainly carry Specialized and Diamondback bikes. The great thing was he didn’t recommend any high priced bikes… all he asked was «What’s your budget?» Soon after, he went on his sale pitch on the bikes. Not even once did he pressure me into buying a bike on the same day I came in. Very respectful!
I’ll be back on the weekend to make my decision, but if anybody else is serious about getting a bike. This is the place to be.
