    Cant speak highly enough about The Path and Tani specifically. Since I purchased my bike at another LBS I have consistently taken it into The Path for repairs, upgrades, etc... Tani has always been very frank and honest with me about the problems I have had or what I need and do not need for my bike and riding style. I never feel like I am being sold into anything, rather talked out of certain things at times. Their repair service does a great job, they did a great job building my new wheels and all of the bike/bbq events they put on for the community speak words for their reputation.

    The Path Rules!!!

    Roger and I have the great privilege of being sponsored by The Path and are part of the newly formed 2007 Ambassador DH team.

    We used to bounce around from LBS to LBS never finding one that had good service and parts in stock. The Path is awesome. Most everything in stock, staff/owner who ride, a shop that supports DH, etc., etc. No part can't be ordered and it gets there FAST. If ever anything is amiss, just talk to Tani and he will make it right!!!

    Tani, Mondo, Brian and staff, we LOVE you!!!

    just got back from my search and destroy mission. I love this place, Mondo was very cool to assist me in deciding between some front tires for my bike. Gave me the no-nonsense pointers on them and let me decide. No pressure at all. Now i get to go home later and put on new RUBBA!!!

    Wow, all positives here. Does the Path walk on water too?
    Nice to see loyalty.

    no definitely not, they're not perfect but from my experience they're better than I've had at other shops

    Hey now, it's posts like this that'll make STR like MTBR and I don't like all the bad vibes on MTBR!:( So please check the tude at the door [-o-].

    PS...My Hubby runs a different shop, so this has nothing to do with my Path loyalty :wave:...

    NO negatives coming from here!!

    Please do not take my message out of context, I was in no way being condescending or negative. It was a POSITIVE comment and not meant to be any other way. Read it for what it says literally and do not put your own thoughts into the post. THEY WERE MY POSITIVE THOUGHTS.

    I swear I have bad luck when I deal with the Path .


    I recently made an on-line order with the path for some new tires and grips , Couple of days later I got an email from Mando saying they were out of stock and my order would be late....](*,)


    Now I see foofighter just got some rubber and is home mounting them bad boys




    :-kmmmm isnt that a co-winky-dink ...



    Dont know about walking on water but they sure can walk on thin ice





    :lol: Even though its upsetting Ill still try to buy from the path again , These are some good hearted peps.

    Here's the free number. 888-608-PATH. :beer:

    I'm sure they have something else in stock at the same price point you want. I was just there yeaterday and I was looking at tires too. I just don't know what to get for little wheels anymore.
