Title: Empire Cycle
Post by: allonm on July 22, 2012, 08:52:51 AM: I don’t normally do this, but I would like to recommend Empire Cycle in Loretto MN for an outstanding service. Up till yesterday, I used them for tire mounting and balancing and buying consumables like oil and filters. The prices were very reasonable. Yesterday I bought a new rear Adventure tire from them for a price as good as I could find on line. Both Erick and Adam are very knowledgeable and it’s nice to be able to talk to someone who knows bike mechanics. When I got stuck changing fork oil they gave me a few tips that were a big help. Personally I do most of the maintenance on all my bikes myself. I leave valves and rear shock rebuilding for the pros. I am happy there is a local shop, close to home, that can help with such work.
