A bike shop on Karori Road in Karori, Wellington, next to the Mākara Peak mountain bike park. The shop has been helping riders since 1995 and calls itself a base camp for the park, as well as a place to visit before a ride or to talk bikes.
The shop does bike repairs, professional servicing, e-bike repairs, bike hire and custom builds, including wheel builds, brake servicing, suspension work and full custom builds. It sells quality bikes and cycling gear, from commuter bikes to high-performance mountain bikes. Brands on the website include Merida, Commencal, RockShox and Kink.
Opening hours are 8.30am to 5.30pm, Monday to Friday, and 9am to 4pm on Saturday and Sunday. The shop can be phoned on 04 476 4961. Discounts are offered to members of WORD, Trails Wellington and Revolve.
Mākara Peak has more than 50 kilometres of single track and a 72-metre suspension bridge, with views over Wellington Harbour, Cook Strait and the upper South Island. The shop says it donates to the park's supporters and that its staff volunteer on tree planting and track maintenance.
