Laguna Cyclery

[Kid A]

Any thoughts on these shops? I never been to Laguna Cyclery but hit RBC a few years back for rental for friend in town for a ride at A/W. bike was a total beater and not worth rental but not sure they had a "real" rental program

Anyone familar with either of these shops? worth a check out? would be nice to know of other decent shops closer to parks when in need?

[FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=3]Sorry Kid A I know this is three months late but here we go. Haven’t been to RBC since I was a kid so I can't help you out there. But I have taken my Hekler to Laguna Cyclery for maintence twice. Both times I was a walk in. My first trip in there was for a severely bashed link in my chain. They swapped in a new chain while I waited in and out in 15 mins and they tuned up my derailers on the house. 2nd time was for an odd squeal coming from the rear hub, the tightened it up and my rear break had been rubbing the disc so the put a burnishing compound on to help that out, Total charge.... 5 bucks. Can't say enough about how well they treated me when I walked in with a problem. The shop tends to lean more toward the roadie side at least from the feeling I got but they don't make you feel second class for liking dirt[/SIZE][/FONT]

Before I purchased a road bike, I went there to rent one. They were great. Picked the bike up, rode the bike 1 full day, the next day, I had to be at work at a certain time so I could not drop it off before they closed, no problem though, I just dropped it off in the morning when I got off at no charge.

Dread Head Patrick still own it? or did he sell the shop? Heard Tim is a good wrench....

My experience with Laguna shops is that they have good wrenchs but they are busy and takes time to get work done. Top notch work just don't expect it to be done in a few days. MTB rentals, nod goes to Laguna Cyclery...last time in there they had a nice Medium Turner Sultan Frame for sale.

I bought my 5 Spot there. Very good service. Nice, welcoming vibe. As stated above, they lean more towards the roadie spectrum but have a decent selection of dirt accessories and high end rental bikes.
