Bike repair for Westminster riders

Westminster is boxed in by good trail riding. The Santa Ana River Trail is to the east, the San Gabriel River and Coyote Creek trails are to the west, and Bolsa Chica is a few miles away on the coast. Those paths are pieces of OCTA's OC Loop, and riders here use them to stack up long, steady miles without traffic.

Long, steady miles are exactly what stretch chains and wear out cassettes, tires and wheels, so that's where most Westminster repairs start. Our shop is owner-run, and before any work starts we go over the bike with you and tell you what we'd do and what it would cost.

Getting your bike to the shop from Westminster

About 7.6 miles by road from Westminster City Hall (8200 Westminster Blvd) (5.7 miles in a straight line). Approximate: computed from OpenStreetMap coordinates and routing data. Traffic and your exact start point change it.

From Westminster City Hall (8200 Westminster Blvd): go to Beach Blvd and head south about 2 miles to the 405. Take the 405 south for about 2 miles, exit, and go east on Talbert Ave for about 1.4 miles. When you cross the Santa Ana River, Talbert becomes W MacArthur Blvd; the shop is just under a mile past the river, in Suite B.

By bike, off-street most of the way: head east to the Santa Ana River Trail and ride to the Talbert/MacArthur crossing, then east on MacArthur. From the Bolsa Chica end you can ride the coastal trail about 8.5 miles south to the river trail and turn inland from there.

Repairs Westminster riders ask for most

• Chain and cassette wear — High trail mileage stretches chains. We clean and re-lube the drivetrain and check chain wear, so a worn chain gets replaced before it eats the cassette. Book this
• Wheel truing and spoke repair — Lateral and radial truing, tension checks and broken spokes replaced, quoted on inspection. Book this · More
• Tubeless for long trail rides — Tubeless install, sealant refresh and valve service, so a small puncture seals on its own miles from home. Book this
• Triathlon bike prep — Pre-race checks and cockpit setup for tri bikes before race day. Book this · More
• Tune-up — Safety check, shifting and brake adjustment, lube and bolts torqued to spec. Book this · More

If you ride the OC Loop trails a few times a week, a chain-wear check every couple of months costs nothing compared with a new cassette and rings. Ask for it at drop-off, or read how often to tune up a road bike.
