Awesome shop. Brought my kid’s bike in for a look-over (breaks) and they gave me a great quote. Definitely worth the price to save me the hassle of doing it myself. Highly recommend!

Fantastic shop with extremely knowledgeable people and excellent service! Recently had a couple major services with Jesse and Jake working on my bike over the course of a few weeks, and I came away really impressed. (and the bike rides absolutely amazing now). More details below. For context, I ride ~500+ miles a month on a custom made road frame from no22, which has an unusual stem/routing setup and can be a real pain to work on. One day, the di2 front derailleur stopped working entirely, and I couldn't revive it. A friend had recommended Rhythm so I stopped by, and Jesse immediately recognized the issue as a common problem that we could warranty as soon as I handed over the bike. We scheduled the FD warranty replacement quickly, and also some more service for later since the bike was long overdue for a lot of maintenance. The second major service later was where they really went above and beyond. - There was no headset maintenance scheduled, but they noticed that the headset had come loose way too soon after they last saw the bike, and something wasn't right. - Jake spent a lot of time going back and forth with the frame builder on the headset issue, and got them to ship out some replacement headset parts. - When the maintenance was scheduled, Jake got really sick. Knowing the havoc this wreaks on shop schedules, I was fully prepared to wait at least another few days for my bike. - But Jesse put in a TON of extra time and effort to make sure my bike still got out the door on time. - When I picked it up, he explained all the little tweaks he had done (like packing the grease more than usual and leaving a little extra brake hose) to account for my riding style and make maintenance easier in the future. The bottom line is that a lot of shops would have just done the scheduled maintenance and left it at that. But they really put in the effort to make sure nothing was missed and communicated the situation at every step of the way. If you have a really nice bike and want to be confident that it's well taken care of, I would take it here.

Rhythm Bikes in Montclair is an exceptional shop. The team is consistently friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful every time we stop in. My tween son is very into mountain biking and loves visiting the shop whenever we’re nearby. What stands out most is how the staff engages with him. They take the time to ask him questions about riding, talk through bikes and components, and treat his interest seriously. They know he’s saving up for a new mountain bike and have even pulled up different options for him to consider so he can set a goal and learn along the way. Whether you need bike maintenance, expert guidance when shopping for a new bike, or just want to talk with people who clearly love the sport, Rhythm Bikes delivers. It’s the kind of shop that supports the local riding community and encourages the next generation of riders. I can’t recommend them enough.

When I had a problem with my recently purchased e-bike, a staff member came to my home to fix it because transporting the e-bike would have been very challenging. 10/10 service!
