WOW! I could not be more impressed with this Shop. This service was ABOVE AND BEYOND. Suffice to say i will be going there exclusivley whenever in Nanaimo.
-I got a flat tire heading out of nanaimo with a bike trailer. i unfortunatley was out of all spares/tubes and intened on making it back to Victoria after a long trip. I phoned around hoping there was a mobile service, and was declined by everyone EXCEPT Pacific Rim. They dont have a mobile service, but Tristan one of the Bike Techs there offered to drive to me after his shift with all the parts required to do a tubless tire service. He arrived

Got my bike in for a quick overnight repair and felt the service was awesome! And that the technician laid all the necessary info out plain and simple. Thank you! Will come thru again if I am in Nanaimo needing my bike serviced.

Loved it they were amazing and kind, they trued my wheel in no time flat before I could even replace the tube. Gave me the confidence to hit some bigger jumps and they have some amazing prices. Great friendly people couldn't recommend them enough
