About the Shop
Dave Usher is the owner, mechanic, bike-fitter, salesman, web master and janitor at North Shore Road Bike. That’s right – it’s a one man show. I feel that this is one of the real strengths of the shop. You don’t describe your repair in detail to a senior mechanic who hands the repair off to a young kid in the back of the shop. The service area is the center of the shop. You can see everything I am working on and be assured that your bike is being expertly repaired with the skills obtained through 25 years working with Shimano, Suntour, Campy and SRAM components.
When I decided to set up the shop I invested time and money upgrading my skills. I worked as a mechanic last summer in one of the busiest bike shops in BC. Got certified in Professional Repair & Shop Operation at United Bicycle Institute in Oregon and in Bike Fitting at BikeFit in Seattle.
Every bike at North Shore Road Bike is expertly built. All our wheels are true and evenly tensioned. Frames are machined to exacting specifications and all fasteners torqued to spec. Shifting is perfect. Brakes are accurately centered. And then there is the fit. This is the most crucial factor in the enjoyment of your bike. I will work with you to get your fit perfect. This includes the right frame size, handlebars, stem and saddle, along with proper alignment and canting of your cleats.
I started North Shore Road Bike because I love bikes and I want you to love your bike. Come in and see me and we can improve your relationship with your current bike or help you move on to a more satisfying relationship with a new bike.
Please give me a shout at dave@northshoreroadbike.com or 604-318-7210, if you have any questions or just want to chat about road riding.
I look forward to working with you.
