I was happy to find a demo fork online. I ordered it, it arrived with small scratches on the stanchions that were not mentioned in the description when ordering. I replied to the order email and left a message on the contact us section of the website with no response...

AVOID THIS BIKE SHOP! Criminal Labour Charges
This springI have been cycling across Canada from Ontario to BC and given the road conditions I had been experiencing a lot of flats. So while in Nelson I went to get more robust tires. I am beyond disappointedin the conduct of the Sacred Ride Bike shop that not only overcharged me for Gator Skin tires but even charged over $50 to install my tires. They only mentioned this after the fact- even after I had already paid for my tires. I have given them ample opportunity to remedy this situation and they have not even replied. This is disrespectful

Had a great experience at The Sacred Ride. They had the bike I was looking for, set it up quickly and spent the time to give it the once-over with me. The staff were really friendly and helped me load the bike up for the drive home. I really appreciated the great service!

My T. Rice Orca was badly hurt, and it was very sad but Ian the magician fixed her up and she is good as new, it's quite unbelievable, you can barely see where I hit the rock! Now I can join the pod again and ride the waves ;) huge thanks to the Sacred Ride!

Absolutely sickest ski/snowboard shop staff I've seen. Super chill, super friendly, super efficient. Got a pair of boards tuned perfectly on a short fuse timeline dead middle of an all-time weekend. Cannot ask for more.

I know that bike shops are super busy this summer and that there are staff shortages etc..., but I had very rude service person. I get that your busy, but being rude to customers to turn them away doesn't hold up to your name "sacred"
