Wiki Bikes

Hands down, best bike shop I’ve ever been to.
I came in soaked from the rain, carrying my pedal that had broken on my way up the University hill earlier that morning. The man working was super nice and could see that I just needed a cheap fix so that my bike could get me where I needed to go (I don’t care what my bike looks like, as long as it does it’s job). He sold me a used replacement pedal, fixed the fastener that I had stripped while trying to put my old pedal back on earlier that day, and installed the new pedal in the rain, all for $ 3.

This place has a lot of used spare parts which is what I usually go for. They let you look around as long as you don’t make a mess. There are bikes with problems and you could make a cheaper deal for a broken bike to just repair yourself.

They are great and very helpful! My niece got a bike to get around UH and they gave a lot of great tips. Definitely will go back again.

I absolutely love these guys. They are so chill but they know exactly what they are doing and they do it quickly and efficiently. I am always in and out of there easily, and they go above and beyond to keep my bike running. Anything from a simple tube change to a full pedal change to repairing a cracked spoke, they can do it!

Took six days tuneup my bike despite telling me several times that it would be done in a day or two. Also forgot to fix the flat.

I’ve been to Wiki Bike several times now. They’re usually fast, courteous, and helpful.
I also bought a bike from them a week ago that turned out to have some mechanical problems. While I was upset that it wasn’t the quality I expected, they agreed to refund the money right away and were quite helpful. Overall, they’re good guys. If you find yourself needing something fixed in the University area they’re a good go-​to place.

When I dropped my bike, told him I wanted to pick up on Monday. On Monday I called to make sure my bike was ready and told him that because of my work schedule I would pick up at 5 p.m., the closing time. In my car at ten minutes to five, I realized I was cutting it close so I called and asked him to stay but nobody picked up. when I got there literally 2 minutes after 5 the store was already closed.
On Tuesday when I left work during my lunch hour to come pick up my bike, he acted like we had never talked. I don’t know, maybe he’s a stoner.
maybe you’ll have a different experience, but that’s why I won’t be back.
***edited to four stars. My tune up was perfext. And all though I was pissed I got over it.

I have been going to Wiki bikes for a few years now ever since I heard about them through iD card. Clayton the mechanic is a nice guy and customer service is good. I once had my fixie disassembled so that I could paint it and everything worked out. The only thing that grinds my gears is the price of their used items are fairly close to if you were going to buy them new.
For example they have a box of different U-​locks all labeled for $ 20; regardless of there size or brand. More importantly the cost of assembling a rear brake with pretty old looking parts costed nearly $ 17 when a brand new one would have been $ 20. Maybe bargaining my have been helpful…
Overall I think if you are trying to fix an old bike, bring it to the shop because Clayton can give you the right parts then.

Came here twice. Overall pretty pricey and the customer service was lacking. I felt like it was almost a bother for the employee/​owner? to assist me in finding a part.

Went to check out the bikes and a guy named James tried to sell me a bike that looked like it belonged to a homeless guy. I swear they stole this bike from a homeless guy. This place is shady, buyers beware.

Love this place! I first came by the Wiki Bikes when they 1^st moved to the University area to see if they could help me with tires for a wheelchair. I heard through cyclists that they know wheels. So, I stopped by with my elderly client, Ruth and her wheelchair. They took my information and the next day they called me to come by the shop. I came by and they had an almost new wheelchair for my 95 yr old client, Ruth. I was a bit concerned about the price because Ruth is on a budget and her insurance only covers the cost of a wheelchair ever 4 years. The owner told me, «don’t worry about it». He said, «it was a gift and it was no problem. » OMG SOOOO AMAZING!
Ever since then I have gotten my bikes fixed at Wiki. I live a couple of blocks from Wiki Bikes and I ride to downtown and back. They are always welcoming and helpful. They allow me to make adjustments to my bike and pump my tires anytime, without charge. They are also environmentally friendly by reusing and recycling old bikes and parts to improve my bikes at affordable prices… it is sooo awesome! There’s no way I would of been able to afford improvements and upgrades to my bikes if it wasn’t for Wiki Bikes.
They are creative, resourceful, and knowledgeable about their passion of bikes and wheels for everyone and it shows!!!

Best bike shop In Honolulu hands down.
They have a great selection of used bikes that encompass pretty much all brands. The turnover is pretty quick so check with them frequently.
They offer mainly Jamis branded new bikes — which offer a pretty nice value for a lower price than most competing brands.
The employees are extremely helpful and laid back. They will absolutely not try to sell you anything you don’t need.

They also did not use loctite on the bolts they removed when they took off my bike rack and apparently lost one of the bolts, replacing it with one that didn’t quite fit. also no loctite. The rack subsequently fell forward as I was riding it. I flew off landed on my face and broke 2 teeth.

Lost the screw that held my shift cable to my derailer. Had a bad experience with another bike shop that, despite my insistence it was an easy fix, was convinced there was nothing that could be done. Stopped here on my way to the university and they had the part I needed and gave me some installation tips as well. Staff was professional and courteous. Also bought some handle bars that didn’t fit the bike. Returned them a couple days later no questions asked. Definitely pleased with the experience and will be returning here first in the future.

Went here when a craigslist deal fell through and I needed to replace my crappy broken $ 20 bike fast because it is my main form of transportation to work. Splurged and got a used Schwinn 21 speed for $ 160, in good condition. A couple months later I noticed one of the tires ripped in a couple places, brought it in to get it replaced… asked for a used tire to cut cost… got a new tire because they didn’t have one in the right size, and a new tube because the tire was a bit thicker as well… expected to pay a lot more than the cost of a used tire, he insisted on charging me only $ 15!!! unbelievable! Sure, if you go to Walmart you can buy a cheap brand new bike for $ 100 or so that will last you a year tops… if you want a good quality secondhand bike and somewhere to go when you need help or repairs… this is your place.

I was pleased to see that Wiki Bikes moved from the previous location in Pacific Heights to a much nicer and fairly larger space on Beretania. It’s a nice shop with a frequently changing selection of used bikes, and some new bikes. They also stock a bunch of accessories now, like surf racks, seats, etc.
Anyway, I recently purchased a «Tern» folding bike from them. Service was great… bike was well-​lubed and tuned (not just factory lubed; they never use enough grease). Overall, I recommend Wiki Bikes if you’re in the market for a used bike, or a new Tern!

Good prices. Bikes are not necessarily in the best shape, but they are used and you will replace them soon enough, price is a good way to go. Bought more than one bike so he threw in a discount. We got what we wanted without the hassle of hunting on Craigslist or paying too much at a big box. The money we save can go for other things. Store is a little cramped and he is the only guy working the shop so he opened the shop a little late. So, you should take his own advice and call before you go. We didn’t so we were outside for a little while, hence the star down ranking. If you are in the market for a used bike check here and see what they have and what he can do for you.

Nice owner, little shop.
Everything is secondhand– handlebars (straight, drops, moustaches), basic pedals, stems, tubes, a few helmets… plus every other little part.
Bike selection is mostly mountain bikes, a few cruisers, a handful of kids bikes, one or two road bikes, one fixie. All of the bikes had registration*
He said he’s only been open for a few months– the selection isn’t really for avid bikers, although you might be able to get a Nitta stem or the part you need for a good price. If you’re a student or looking for a cheap, legal to get you from point A to point B, this is the place to go.
They also do repairs and are next door to a saimin and okazuya place!
