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 !!

Please buy from a friendly local b...

I had a faulty helmet and Lee went out of his way to help me. He contacted the manufacturer on my behalf and got them to send a new one.

This is a really great bike shop! They always put the customer first.

I always go to them if I can because they are experts.

Support your local bike shop!...

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!

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...

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.

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...

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.

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!

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...!

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 ...

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...
