Feedback from our Customers

Want to say thanks to Billy for his persistence with figuring out the “skipping” problem on my Cervelo Di2 drivetrain. First time in, he spent a bit of time on it, thought it was good, but the problem came back after a couple rides. Second time in, he make some inexpensive replacements and got the drivetrain so dialed in it feels like when I first got the bike. And he didn’t charge for labor though I am sure he spent a bit of time on it! Thanks, Billy. You have earned my loyalty to Universal Cycles Beaverton!

I just wanted to say thank you for sending out the tsb-2.2 so fast. I was getting the same answer from three bike shops in my area that had the item in stock but wouldn’t sell it to me because either I wasn’t part of a big bike shop or their own shop mechanics claimed it. I had one shop tell me, you don’t need it to true a wheel, it’s just for convenience. I then contacted parktool directly and they sent me to you. Anyways, you all are amazing! I wish i lived closer to one of your shops...

I swung by yesterday to pick up a headset and Dusty helped me out. He offered to bring out a handful of comparable headsets from different companies at similar price points and opened them all up and compared bearings, crown race material, etc. He was an incredible wealth of knowledge and I walked away with the perfect headset for what I needed (not the one I came for either). Usually bike shops are either friendly, knowledgeable or down to earth/nonjudgmental, but never all three in my experience. UC and Dusty in particular check all the boxes. Amazing service and incredible inventory. Thank you all so much!

I just wanted to let you know how impressed I've been with Universal cycles over the past year. It's so refreshing to know that you actually have what I'm ordering in one of your warehouses when I click "pay now". I really appreciate the investment you've made in your warehousing infrastructure and wish you nothing but success in the future.

I just want to let you know that your order fulfillment team is kicking butt. I have been dealing with a home bike project, frantically collecting odds and ends in an effort to make my vision a reality during the largest surge in shipping in recent times, while supply chains the world over are faltering and no matter how small the part I need, your team is crushing it. Thanks all, hope everybody gets some time to ride still.

First time user of Universal. I broke a Di2 front derailleur on a Sunday morning. Ordered one on Sunday afternoon. Received and installed in on Wednesday. That's fabulous. Only 3 days downtime for a major and not so easy to find part. Thanks Universal

I always receive great service: fast and accurate fulfillment. Even when I had to cancel an order before it shipped, the agent was very nice and took care of it quickly. Universal Cycles is my go-to for bike gear!!

Universal is such a consistently good and affordable source for parts. They're almost always the first place I turn to in a pinch. Easy pickup, reliable inventory, great selection, prices, and solid customer service make them the mainstay for projects for myself and for my friends. Couldn't do without them!

Thank you! 13 years as a customer. You all are the perfect combination of big enough to have what I need, and small/efficient enough to know what’s going on.

I stopped by to get some advice on a 700c/29 er wheel set for my new Salsa Journeyman. Your guy listened to my description: about usage (max tire size), tubeless or no, weight, and budget. He said he’d check to see what was in stock. He produced a WTB sti 23 wheel set and described where/how they were built as well as their sturdiness and heft and the reasonable price. Sold! Credible, knowledgeable, and helpful to a mature guy who enjoys good service and conversation. Thank you!

I just have to say after several orders I am very happy with Universal Cycles! I have noticed other vendors out of product and Universal usually has exactly what I want and at the best price. I just received an order today I had made a mistake and the folks at Universal Cycles fixed it ASAP and sent out the correct product fast and Professional. I will now make Universal Cycles my first option when I look for bike related items. Thank you!!

We have been long-time customers of [another retailer] (since 2005) but were unable to get the parts we needed from them this week. The sales person being helpful suggested trying your company as a "great alternative".

WOW, may I say thank you to your company for experienced knowledgeable staff helping me with a replacement derailleur issue after shifting the old derailleur through our tandem spokes. That may have been Mark.

I would like to commend Raul today for streamlining and managing the order process for us in order to get the needed repair parts to ship today. He may feel he was just doing his job. I see his service today and the help of Mark as reasons for my wife and I to spend more time looking on your website and purchasing further items.

I just wanted to say thank you for such great service. I broke my front derailleur and could not find any bike shop in Sonoma County, California that had the part. I have a few big rides coming up and I desperately needed that part. I ordered it on Amazon, only to be notified two days later that it was no longer available. I searched Google and your store came up. I ordered the part late on Monday, August 17, it was shipped on Tuesday, and I got it on Thursday. So thank you so much. If I ever need a part in the future, you will definitely be my go to store.

I arrived way before you opened and had a great time riding the area, it’s parks and green/trail ways. I’m actually glad you’ve moved now. I’ll be planning me some area rides for next time. Thank you very much for forcing me to enjoy such a nice day in such a beautiful area.

Hi, I just want to let you know that I was thrilled to receive my new Salsa Woodsmoke today - it was expertly packaged and arrived in perfect shape. Additionally, I ordered a dropper post along with the bike. Without me even asking, the assembly team installed and set up the new post - what a great surprise! I expected to be watching youtube tutorials and figuring out this install myself. Finally, I appreciated that my assembler listed the date of assembly as "Juneteenth, 2021". Respect. Thanks for a great deal and a great experience with your shop. Happy Trails,

Appreciate the quick service, quality products and friendly, timely correction on shipping mistake. It's a pleasure doing business with y'all, & I will be back.

Hi and good morning. The parts I ordered arrived yesterday. The items were packaged correctly in a proper box. There was packing material in the box so the parts didn't move around. Box was taped nicely and labeled well. Wow, great to see the attention to detail! Thought I would point this out to you as one is usually advised about mishaps.....A box from [...] is typically incorrect-wrong size, no packing, not closed correctly. Great to get a proper shipment. Well done and have a nice weekend. Thank you,

I just wanted to say that I love the Universal Cycles way of doing business. First, being able to see available inventory takes all of the guess work out of shopping. Secondly, the online notifications for order confirmations, when to expect a shipping statement, and then shipping confirmation are very reassuring and add to the overall experience. I've now become a dedicated UC shopper. Great model, great experience! Thank you!

Just wanted to say thank you!! You guys do a great job! All business and efficiency. You guys got both my orders shipped before [...] could even respond to an order I placed 6 days ago. It so refreshing to see a business nowadays that focuses on doing the best job possible. Not wasting time updating their Instagram or you tube channel! Thanx u guys rock. I will always buy here now!

Hey Universal Cycles! I wanted to convey a great experience I had on the phone the other day with Mike[...]. I called to get some clarification on an order and some recommendations on some parts I needed to continue a build. Mike was awesome! I connected the fact that we actually did a ride together many, many years ago! It was geat to hear his voice again, as I think we used to talk over the phone a bit when I was a wheel builder and we talked about orders from Perfect Wheels, where I worked. He gave me all the part numbers I needed to complete the next phase of my Surly Wednesday build for my son. I received the parts today, and everything was spot on!! Went together like soft butter on bread!! It was great hearing from Mike again, and it was just another great experiences I have had with Universal Cycles! Takce care guys and gals!

Thank you for having customer order history! Long story short, bought wheel goods from you guys a year ago. Couldn't remember spoke length I ordered. Looked it up on the site, BOOM, mystery solved!

I just want to thank you guys and particularly Dustin with his help today at the Portland store. I have ran parts counters, and have ran a successful business for the last 36 years and I know what quality customer service is all about. I have recently got back into cycling to help keep on shape for motocross and have been away for nearly 30 years from mountain bikes. I was very impressed at the friendly service I encountered today. I have been to other bike shops in the Portland/Vancouver area and have come away from ALL of them really upset. The arrogance and “know it all attitude” won’t fly with me. I was a little apprehensive walking in the door at your shop today due to the horrid customer service I have had at three local shops. Dustin was AWESOME! He was informative, he didn’t try to sell me anything more than I really needed and I left your store excited to return. ( I bought better stuff than he suggested just because he was a straight shooter). Thanks again and look forward to shopping here for everything our family needs for our bikes.

Just want to let you guys know that I appreciate all you do. I have been a customer for a long time, and Universal is the first place I go to for all my online bike needs. Selection is great, on-hand stock is excellent, and customer support has always been top notch. Please pass my praise along to everyone there. Thanks
