Fat Tire Cycles - Corrales 10701 Corrales Road, Albuquerque, NM 87114

"This place is awesome! Went in with my son today to get his bike fixed. Ethan did a great job with the repairs! They have a lot of beautiful bikes, and the store has a very welcoming vibe. Will definitely be going back for all my family’s biking needs!"

"I am so thankful for Sharon’s help in choosing a bike. I am a very casual rider whose partner prefers road bikes, and I don’t know very much about bicycles in general. I started riding a beach cruiser to get me back on a bike, but have found I have outgrown it as I want to continue riding distance and it is just too heavy. Unfortunately, I’m on the short side and many road bike frames are too large for me to feel comfortable controlling even when looking at smaller frame sizes. After asking some questions about my ride style, Sharon helped me choose a wonderful step through hybrid that will allow me a casual comfortable ride but that is a much lighter bike than my current cruiser. They were very knowledgeable and made me very comfortable as a beginner, and I didn’t feel like any of my questions were too silly to ask. The atmosphere of the shop was really nice and bright, and it was probably the most comfortable experience I’ve had in a cycling shop. I’m very excited to get out there as the weather warms up with my new ride!"

"First, I want to mention that this is the third time in 15+ years that I’ve taken the time to actually write a review from an experience with a business. Prior to my in store visit, I spoke with a woman on the phone who I believe worked for the Corrales store but I am not certain so my review is based off of both of those experiences. I took my brand new rattan e-bike in after riding it for the second time due to a front flat tire. I called and spoke to a woman the day prior to bringing it to the shop who informed me I didn’t need an appointment and that my bike would be serviced same day unless “a family of six came in with flat tires on each of their bikes”(her words exactly). My bike is heavy so I needed my son’s help to load and unload the bike in my SUV so I wasn’t able to make it in on the same day I called but I did make it the next day. When I arrived I asked for both tires to have the tannus liner installed based off the woman’s recommendation from my phone call the previous day. I informed the man that my front tire wouldn’t hold air after my second ride on the bike. It was disappointing when I was informed I had to leave the bike overnight but I understood since it was so close to Christmas Eve. When I came back the next afternoon, the gentleman informed me I didn’t need a new tube and that my tube was holding air which shocked me as I tried airing it up only for it to go flat minutes later so I’m not sure what happened there but I was happy to hear I didn’t have to pay for a new tube. My invoice estimated price was $202 yet at pickup I paid 193.70 so I’m not sure why there wasn’t much of a difference in price especially since I was quoted $60 per tire for the liner on the phone. My husband took the bike to my SUV as I was finishing paying for it and I left town for the holidays soon after so I didn’t look my bike over until 12/29/23. The first issue I noticed is my wiring on the handle bars are completely wrapped around the handlebars pole making it difficult to steer or turn as the wires now have no slack. Then I noticed the little stem caps are missing which isn’t a big deal but is irritating, next I took it for a ride around the neighborhood and the bike has this resistance when I was walking it out to the street as if I was squeezing one of the break levers. As I was riding I still could feel this resistance that wasn’t there before I took it in. The breaks work but the bike now makes a weird noise when I peddle again that wasn’t there before. My seat that has suspension built in isn’t working and really makes me question if someone rode my bike because the seat post was raised passed the maximum height recommended by rattan. I’m new to bike riding and wasn’t comfortable fixing the flat tire myself that’s why I took it in, trusting my bike would be serviced correctly yet now my wires are wrapped around the bike, there’s a constant resistance now that wasn’t there before, the front headlight wasn’t even plugged in, and there’s screw holes that look like they had screws in them before but now don’t, and I have no idea what is causing the noise I hear while riding plus my seat suspension is not working. One break lever is so hard to squeeze while the other one I can squeeze almost all the way in. While riding the seat’s suspension would allow for a smooth ride because the seat would move up and down some on bumps and now it doesn’t. I am going to have to take it in to see what is causing the noise and to see if someone could figure out why I feel a resistance even when I am walking with the bike a few steps. Really regret leaving it overnight as I wanted to stay and watch it be worked on. What a waste of money and thought it was just a simple flat tire. I took a picture of the bikes wire cable setup from the manual showing how nice and organized it was when I dropped it off just for reference."

"While visiting Albuquerque 2 weeks ago, we wanted to take a bike ride. Our host recommended this shop for rentals. The staff went out of their way to make our ride great. They suggested step-through hybrids, which we found very comfortable and easy to handle ~ even pulling 2 new ones off the floor and adding a water bottle holder and tire kit! (The normal rentals were already out.) The Paseo del Bosque trail is just several blocks away by sidewalk. Becky and Joe"
