    I’m very unhappy and disappointed with both my recent interaction at Momentum and my previous bike tune up that was done in July of 2020. Should you be interested in more details I just completed a review of Momentum on Yelp but felt it was important to post on Google as well as it’s probably the most searched. While riding my bike last Wednesday 1/13/2021 I got a flat tire. I took my bike into Momentum the following day and explained that I needed the tire repaired and to please look at the gears and shifter as my bike wasn’t shifting gears very smoothly. Honestly I take some responsibility for my gear problem as in July of 2020, Momentum did a complete tune up for approximately $150 and did a terrible job. The catch is I didn’t realize how poor of a job they had done until I rode my wife’s Townie bike which is a smaller less expensive model of my Townie bike. I now realize that her bike shifts smoothly and was very easy to shift gears unlike my bike even after the July 2020 tuneup. In other words Momentum’s bike mechanic was so inept that he couldn’t figure out how to repair a quality Townie bicycle. I’m not complaining and writing this negative review regarding my ignorance relating to the poor tuneup, as I certainly need to take some responsibility for not knowing any better. My complaint is that I purposely patronized Momentum because it is a local merchant and I made that clear to the owner Evan. I bought $75 worth of accessories which I chose to buy locally instead of lining Amazon’s pockets and paid double the price. But then when I spent another $150 for the tune up which I now know was a mistake, I feel unappreciated as a local customer. The fact is on Thursday, Evan’s bike mechanic and employee, took in my bike and did nothing for 2 days until I phoned today, 3 days later to inquire about my bike repairs. He said that he’d get to it and it would be done in a couple of hours. I was furious as I was informed that he’d call upon completion and then the shop totally dropped the ball and waited for me to call. When I complained he said he was very busy so I told him to just fix the flat and I’d come get my bike. My bill was $23 and I didn’t mention the charge which I think they should have done for just the parts as the money isn’t the important part of this negative review. I did ask where Evan, the owner, was as Ryan was working alone. Ryan’s response was that Evan was surfing. Surfing??? So busy that he left his employee alone to go surfing??? Wow,😭😭😭 Shameful!!! Any business that treats customers with such disdain and lack of respect should not be patronized!!! Stay away from this shop. Shame on me for trusting this local business and shame on Evan for surfing at the same time his employee is explaining to me that the job wasn’t done because the shop was so busy. They aren’t even open that many hours a day but obviously don’t care about their customers. Again stay away from Momentum in Port Hueneme!!!

    I have been going to this shop for sometime now. I've brought one bike over $400 and a Skateboard for $180. I brought my sons bike for brake repair, for the 4th. The front brake would come loose. While on vacation the brake fell loose again. I brought the bike back and spoke to I guess the kid running the place and explain the issue., He denied my claim then bike hadn't been full fix the first time. I've spent over $600 in the pass. So I'm going lie about a brake issue. Arrogant kid.....! The front brake cable was replace but not the metal clip holding it in place. He agreed to fix it AGAIN! by replacing the whole front brake . Original charge was $25. Now for full brake replacement its $25 with an addition $15 for labor, the kids greed took over and charge me again for labor.. I should have gone elsewhere but it was a need thing and didn't have time to find another shop. No worries last time I'll go there....,.,....

    Had a great experience! Was greeted promptly and kindly, showed a different selection of bike options. I found one I liked and they adjusted the seat for me (a few times until it was just right) and let me test it out in the parking lot. Great service and no pressure - got exactly what I wanted. So happy! Thanks for all the help :-)

    Momentum Bike shop quickly, courteously and efficiently tuned up my bike and set me up with a cool set of tires. I couldn’t be happier. I’ll recommend this shop any day. Thank you Evan.

    I can't speak for other people, but my experience was perfect here. Fixed my bike's flat, barely had to wait and $30 later I was out the door, satisfied. Done.

    Bought a new board here. Evan was very helpful in helping me get into the right board for my level. Ny surfing has improved exponentially. Ryan has been great as well. Good prices. Great service. I'm already looking to my next purchase.
