I never write reviews but after being helped yesterday and several times before I had to write one. Yesterday I called and asked if I could get my bike repaired after a pretty big crash riding bike park. He was able to fully true my wheels and get me a new brake set installed in less than 45 minutes for a very reasonable price. Any shop could have taken way longer on the repairs and charged way more for but at the gear wizard they are always doing what you need done and not over charging. If you need anything done for your bike or skis I would recommend going here!

Dudes at the #GearWizard got Oliver set up on his new 24 MARIN San Quentin. Hes loving it!What a ripping kids bike!Thanks fellas!Rider: Oliver SmithAge: 8Hometown: Livingston MTLocation: Phillipsburg MT

A great bike shop with honest and respectable humans at the wheel. If your bike is a little older and you need parts this is definitely the place to go. One of the only Revel dealers in the Northwest. Theres so much bike history on the ceiling alone!

Brian is not only the best mechanic in Bozeman hes a legendary trail builder who laid the foundation for places like trestle and copper city. I was up for the Big Sky BME and he took the time to rebuild a failing Chris king hub that got me through all 8 stages of the race. Top notch mechanic and even better guy. stop by and get dialed

Thanks to Brian (and crew) at Gear Wizard. You got the Trance back on the trail. Its riding ans rolling better than ever. I really appreciate your personal service and expert knowlege. Happy trails.

Great knowledge, friendly, cost affordable & fair.

I had a shredded side wall on myGiant hybrid. Im an OTR truck driver with very little time to spare. Not only did The Wizard have 2 matching tires I love and had been looking to upgrade to, He also installed a Very nice used rear fender in 10 minutes.. All done. Then recommend some great beginner single track trails that were 2 min. From his shop.Friendly. Fast. Fantastic!!!!Couldnt recommend more highly.Also they have a very nice selection of new & used bikes and hardware.. Whenever Im in Bozeman Montana I will stop in and say hi. I recommend you do too.

Fixed my flat and made a few adjustments all in less than 10 minutes. Great job thanks for getting me back on the road.

Brian was super helpful when we encountered some issues mounting bindings - he provided advice, and went above and beyond to help resolve the issue. A+ customer service. Thank you Brian!

The service effort at the Gear Wizard to get my skis and boots set up right is far beyond any expectations I may have had. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this shop to anyone.

So rad! Sam did such a good job on everything, and then took more time to make it even better! and explained little things that I can do to help. Dude you are a legend! Also big thanks for getting me in before a trip! Everyone give em all yall beer they deserve it!

Legendary bike shop!!! I called around town about getting my tire trued and was told it would be nearly a month wait. Took it into The Gear Wizard (shortly before closing), and the owner straightened it out on the spot, as well as taking the time to answer all my questions. There is no doubt where I will be taking my bike in the future for any repairs.

Perhaps someone close to and caring about these folks should explain in some full spectrum manner to them essentially that not all of us who bring our business to them are doing so because we cant do it ourselves and are thus dependent on their assistance, but instead are almost entirely motivated by trying to help them avoid having to work at Walmart.

Got front hub bearings replaced, brakes bled, new pads. Same day turn around with appointment. Good mechanics.

I have had nothing but good experiences with this shop. The prices are reasonable, but Brians expertise is invaluable. He is the type of guy who will stay after business hours to explain aluminums modulus of elasticity vs. carbon to you - he wants you to be an informed customer, unlike many shops. Dont take your bike anywhere else!

Great shop. We were looking for a 20 girls bike in first part of February. Most all other stores in town, including dept. stores, had next to nothing. Brian had 3 and was selling at 50% off! We ended up with a gently used bike (Specialized coaster), 2 new helmets and 2 bells for $125! Awesome store, owner and service. Thank you Brian, well be back!

Very well priced tuning, the guy who runs the shop has always been super kind when I’ve come in with skis and my bike, always going above and beyond every time they work on my gear. Definitely the best place to take your skis or bike around Bozeman!

By far the best experience I’ve had at any of the ski/bike shops in Bozeman. Brian Is incredibly knowledgeable and very approachable with any questions you might have. Super fast mount as well! Definitely telling all my friends to make this their hometown ski shop, if you want to keep it local there’s no better place.

Thanks for the terrific service, education and time in getting me started with this new bike!

In response to George: I am sorry to hear that he had a bad experience. I have to indicate that my experience was completely the opposite of what George described. Bike Peddler has the cheapest tune ups in town and the owner is quite possibly the nicest man on the planet. He even gave me extra money towards a trade in exchange for some kids books I was taking to the thrift store. The owner has always dropped everything when I came in to attend to my needs and gone above and beyond to make my experience a pleasant one. Above all, however: dont take my word for it. Go to the shop and form your own opinion!

Thanks Brian! I’m an Alaskan biker down for the weekend and they were able to get my bike fixed for the next day of riding. Honest and knowledgeable guys here, will be back if I have bike problems in the future. Cheers

Amazing shop. Locally owned and operated by Brian, a true bike enthusiast and nice guy. Great service, quality used bikes, best prices in town and will buy used bikes back. I couldnt. Ask for more out of a shop.

Went to the Gear Wizard looking for 24 bike for my daughter. The guys were very helpful and showed us their selection of new and used. We cam back later to try the used bike they had been tuning up. They worked with my daughter for quite awhile making sure it ran smoothly and fit her just right . We ended up getting a tuned up, cleaned up bike for $100 which was a steal compared to what we saw at the bike swap that morning.I will definitely be going back and would highly recommend those guys!

Brian is an amazing person who volunteers his time for the community, I especially thank him for his help with Eagle Mount. He is very patient and helped me pick out a bike that matches my all my needs. I love the location, prices are reasonable and there is always fantastic art hanging in the store.

Great service. I recommend the Gear Wizard to everyone who needs bike repair or any help with your bike.

This has been my go-to shop for two years now. It reminds me of the shops I grew up going to, where the staff is helpful, unassuming, and knowledgeable. The Gear Wizard is a breath of fresh air-- only a handful of $3K+ bikes hanging around, while the majority of bikes for sale are quality used or budget-friendly new bikes. Brian has helped me on a dozen occasions, rebuilding wheels Im too cheap to replace, solving tricky brake issues, and patiently working on seating fussy tubeless tires. I am always surprised when I see the bill for service, which has been less than I expect every time-- very fair. I recommend giving The Gear Wizard a try-- you probably wont find your $8K drool-machines, but youll find friendly people that are eager to take care of you.

I would highly recommend this bike shop. They are knowledgeable, their shop is clean and well organized, and they communicate well. The atmosphere at the shop is relaxed, and they always have time to answer my questions. They seem to understand that people may be on budgets, and will help to make repairs and parts affordable.

He gave me a great deal on some cheap tools.

While Bike Peddler looks like one of those local stores we all love to support, my experience after buying two new bikes there is that they are only concerned with profit maximization. They provided absolute no guarantee for their work and they are more expensive than other stores. Sadly, my recommendation is “two thumbs down”

This was exactly the store I needed to find on my cross-country trip in this complex vehicle. Many bike shops are afraid to even look at it. These guys dug in. Brian and one of his customers worked out an extremely clever adapter for the gun standard Hub of this vehicle. Was a game changer. Bozeman is lucky to have this store.

Brian and the crew are always very helpful and courteous. They have an exceptional knowledge base and are always fair and thorough. Great group of locals providing a great service to our local community. Check here first!

Excellent no frills shop with knowlegeable long time locals staff.

The Bike Peddler/Gear Wizard has been my go-to shop for the past 3 years. I have purchased a new KHS mountain bike for my wife and go to them for bike maintenance that is beyond my home mechanic ability. I have been Extremely happy with their prompt & professional service and feel that their prices are very fair. I highly recommend this shop to bikers of all levels.

Love this place! Very knowledgeable & helpful staff. Adequate pricing for used gear. Very highly recommend!

Great shop, especially if you are looking for a used bike. They are expert bike mechanics and go through their used bikes before they resell them. They also have a nice selection of new stuff in the shop.

Great local bike shop. Good prices and service.

Brian and his team are absolute legends.

I came here to get a tune up and my snow tires changed a couple months ago. They were friendly and seem to really enjoy their jobs. I was having some troubles with my bike a couple days ago and brought it in. Not only did they remember my bike, but it turned out to be something really simple and they fixed it while I waited! They have every component for excellent service. I cant tell you how happy I am I chose this bike shope and would recommend it to everyone. I know I wont be taking my service any where else. Thank you so much!

I have received nothing but excellent work from this bike shop. Whether I bring in my expensive bike or one of my cheaper bikes, the work performed is professional and at a very reasonable price. Be advised that most of the negative reviews were posted appear to be posted prior to the current ownership. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact me.

Great bike shop. Traded in an old bike and got more credit than I thought I would and then purchased a KHS hardtail from last season for a nice price. Owner has always been friendly and helpful when I have small questions either in person or over the phone. In my experience, these guys know their stuff and work well in their smaller, more intimate atmosphere. They dont have the selection of new bikes other places have, but they have good new products, plenty of used options, and excellent service.

Very helpful and informative. Not to mention great prices! Thank you!

Friendly knowledgeable staff. Great service on bikes and skis.

Went here to get my bike fixed. Prices were reasonable, service was quick, and the result was quality work. Will return!

I purchased a KHS mountain bike from this establishment in May 2013. While the test ride of the bike seemed ok, there were a couple of minor issues brake wise. The first shop tech who looked at it didnt know what was wrong with it,. The owner, Brian Wood, looked at it, made one adjustment and declared it fixed.From the first day of owning this bike, until now, I have had nothing but issues with the disc brakes. They will not stay mounted properly. I called Bike Peddler and left a message for Brian twice within the first 3 weeks of owning this bike and never received a return call. At that point, I refused to waste my time on them.After the lack of communication from the Brian at the Bike Peddler, I had a Barnett certified mechanic take a look at the calipers, along with the additional shifting issues I had from the first day. He was able to easily solve my front and rear derailleur issues in about 5 minutes. Seems they left the Bike Peddler installed incorrectly.Will I go back. No. Will I recommend? No. If they cant call their customers back they dont deserve to have them in the first place.

Customer service goes above and beyond. Very happy with my bike and all of their extra help.

Excellent ! Worth stopping here first! Shake it sugaree 😎

Good deals. Brad is the man

I ride everyday.(I mean EVERYDAY!) These are my guys. Enough said.

Knowledgeable and great prices.

Great people and bikes!

Very helpful!

Great service!

Top notch!
