What riders say
4.9 average from 300+ reviews.
“Flat on the way to work, fixed before my coffee was done. They even showed me the bit of glass that did it.”
“They told me my old bike wasn't worth an overhaul and found me a used one for less. Who does that?”
“Rented two e-bikes for the hills. They fitted us properly and sent us off with a map and a spare tube.”
Owned by the people at the stands.
Marisol Vega opened Spoke & Chain in 2011 with one repair stand and a borrowed truing stand. She still works the stands four days a week, next to Ben Larkin, who runs the e-bike bench.
Every Thursday at 6 pm the shop ride leaves from the front door. All paces, and nobody gets dropped.
