| - The first time I went into Kore, they were still at the "old" location further South on Rural Road. I always noticed the shop but figured it was definitely too much of a specialty shop for the type of riding I did. Part and parcel of any type of specialty shop is usually ATTITUDE, especially if you are a novice.
I didn't even own a single mountain bike when I went there, but Ryan (owner/proprietor) answered all my questions and made many suggestions as to the direction I might be able to go in terms of getting into the sport. Quite honestly, I don't even think he tried to actually sell me anything that day.
Well, it's years later and Kore is still my go-to shop. As I have made the move from Fixed Gear to DH Mountain Biking, Kore has supplied everything I've needed along the way, not only regarding parts and equipment but service all the way around. Ryan and Joe really focus not just on wrenching on your bike, but TEACHING you about it and showing you how you can do it yourself, even in the service area of the shop.
What other bike shop gives you a one-on-one demo/workshop on repairs?
I think Ryan put it best when he said in his shop review for a BMX magazine, "I don't have customers, I have friends."
