I was on my way to OTEC bikes on 13th July when dismounting the bike I fell off cracking a upper rib. I also had a puncture, I managed to get to the shop. I was in some pain and a little shocked. I explained my dilemma to Lee who sat me down and arranged for some tea. The purpose of the visit was t...
Really excellent - I needed an inner tube to replace an inferior quality one from a well known chain store bike supplier. Lee had exactly what I needed, top quality brand, and it was less than I'd paid for the old one which had failed. Helpful, happy people !!
Great service and expertise. My Brompton was badly damaged (by another shop) and OTEC were able to remove a badly damaged bolt (which several shops couldn't fix; including Brompton's own). It also helps that they are friendly and make customers feel incredibly welcome. Superb service! I found OTE...
Fantastic in a crisis and as a walk-in! Able to repair a broken peddle in a jiffy, with skilled workmanship and good stock of parts. Very good stock of quality ex demo mountain bikes for all users at very competitive prices! Really glad we found OTEC Bikes, will definitely be returning. Thanks OTEC...
Brought my trek bike to these guys to get it serviced after having some gearing and chain problems. They were really knowledgeable and knew exactly what was wrong with my bike. When I picked up the bike after it had been serviced, they explained to me that the new chain and parts that were fitted wi...
Asked me to bring the bike in to sort the gears sometime during the week, when I got there they did it there and then. Fantastic service, will definitely go back.
Really happy to recommend Lee and the team at OTEC Bikes. We rented most of their e-mtb fleet for a day's riding. All the bikes were good quality and had obviously been well maintained. Great service - thanks Lee!
The OTEC guys are the best. Lee is one of the most genuine people I've met in the biking world. He and Sam are always trying to improve their business, ask for feedback, and create and incredible customer experience. Their prices are more than fair and they will go the extra mile to take care of yo...
These guys came recommended and I will say that they gave a first class service, really pleased to find a great team that cares about what they do, I will certainly use again and recommend to anyone. Thank you once again for the brilliant service. Bike is as good as new and came in under the quoted ...
A great local traditional bike shop, Lee the owner is always good for some advice and assistance. The shop looks after the local cycling community as well by running various ride outs and social evenings. Definitely worth a visit even to say hi to Barney the trail dog.
I came in in lockdown with a whyte 801 hardtail with a broken hub and drive chain the explained to me how it happened and what to do in the future, they told me that it would take a long time to get the parts but they said if you wait a bit longer we can get the parts cheaper saving me 150 pounds. T...
If you need a bike, don't go anywhere else. I found this place on Google, as I needed to hire a bike, having been to two other places first that were dreadful & depressing. From the moment I called ahead to my arrival approximately 7 mins later, thanks to Lee's questions based on his clear expertise...
I had only few loose spokes on my wheel and I wanted to buy spoke key, unfortunately you didn't had one. So I've only asked to tighten the spokes up, so it would take literally a minute or two to do it ,but instead you were explaining to me for few minutes why you can't do it , I understand that you...
Thank you Lee and the team for your first class service with my sons mountain bike. Nothing is ever too much trouble for you guys !!! Glad we found you.
Nice chaps to deal with. I went in for a kids shotgun seat and he was probably the only one who had one in stock. I noticed he had some great service equipment around so my next visit will be for a full service on my cube stereo full suspension MTB.
Lee recently supported us with mechanical services on a cycling trip to Switzerland. He was professional, friendly and helped make the trip a success. Would not hesitate to recommend.
Brilliant service and excellent quality bikes. We hired 8 e-bikes for a scavenger hunt around the Chilterns. A lot of fun and massive credit to the guys at Otec for sourcing 8 of them and getting them delivered on time. Would recommend!
I needed to get new bearings fitted to my front wheel and my rear tightened and these guys were awesome from start to finish from a simple phone call to find out if they had grease and bearings as I was going to attempt it myself to them offering for me to take my wheels down have a coffee while the...
Great shop run by some great guys who really know what they are talking about. Had a custom bike fit which improved my efficiency substantially, and also a day's 1-1 road cycling coaching with Lee which was tremendous. Highly recommended...!
Otec have offered fab customer service, sorting my bike twice after component failures and operator errors! Excellent service and always willing to help. Highly recommend !!
I had phoned them before and visited to collect two of 300mm spokes to replace one on old classic 28inch wheel, french made Sachs hubs and dutch made Rigida rims, from the bike I currently restoring.I took the rear wheel with me for reference only as the guy said on the phone he may not have the rig...
Popped in 15 Aug 19 due to my chain jumping and gears acting erratically. Unexpectedly, the team looked at my bike straight away and after some quick adjustments; i was back on my way. They even pumped up my tyres. All of this, at zero cost. Honestly, their service never fails to impress me. Don't ...
Really pleased with the service - had a bike fit and the changes (plus some other factors!) contributed to me taking over 2 hours off my Ride London time. Had tri bars fitted by Lee and subsequently came first in age-group at my next triathlon. Of course there are many other factors at play but the ...
I came to Otec to get my bike built and custom fitted- and despite being under time pressure Lee and his team made it possible. He is outstanding in his field, unique in the area- and also a lovely person to deal with. 5 Stars!
So impressed with otec bikes! The Gents were so helpful and enthusiastic. They replaced my chain then and there in 10 minutes. Will definitely be taking it back for a full service and upgrades. Thanks so much guys! Vic
Edit: Lee and team did a full overhaul on my bike in late feb 2019 and I took ...
Lee and his team really know their stuff and their service ethic is spot on. We discovered a puncture on my wife's bike the day before a Triathlon. This was fixed, the saddle changed, and gears and brakes all tweaked within an hour - not the first time this level of service has been provided. Thorou...
