| - I can't recommend this business enough! It is a true neighborhood small business that makes you feel like you are back in the era when people took pride in their work and when proprietors cared about their customers. They do good work at a fair price and definitely won't sell you something you don't need. They also rent bikes, which we took advantage of when we had a number of out-of-town guests who wanted to go riding. In the last year, I have had a couple of dust ups with my bike and have needed to do a few repairs. In one case, I went to a different bike shop first because it was closer to my house, but I was completely turned off by the technician, who I felt was completely overselling me and who would have kept my bike for a week due to the parts he needed to order. I decided a second opinion was in order, so I took it over to Try Me. For about a third of the cost, they had me back on the road in less than 24 hours! The parts that they recommended were of the same quality as the original parts on my bike that they were replacing. (I was able to confirm this with some research after the repair was done). I inquired about the more expensive parts recommended by the other shop and was told that they were happy to sell them to me, but that they were not necessary and were out of line for the type of bike and type of riding that I do. Just last week, I had my back wheel replaced (rim was badly bent) along with some other repairs. The work was done in less than 3 hours and they called along the way to give me an update and to let me know that I had a couple of options with one of the replacement parts. I honestly don't know if they re-used the old inner tube or not, but the first time I had the bike back out on the road, I got a flat. I took it back to Try Me and the owner of the shop (who did not do the original repair) waited on me. He willingly replaced the tube at no charge and declined to accept anything when I asked how much it would cost. I would have been willing to pay for it, but he took responsibility for it and made me a very happy customer. I will definitely continue getting all of my repairs done there and it will be the first place I go when I'm in the market for a new bike.
