I asked if he was sure the tire was 20$, he looked puzzled said yes, I asked if they ran out of 15$ tires, he mumbled something about sizes. The employee had walked up and seen that I had a busted sidewall and asked what size I needed. I had went in to buy a tire and seen that they were marked 15$ and hanging on a hook. Horrible bike shop, I had a sidewall bust on my while riding in the area and had heard from another rider that this was the closest bike shop. I would recommend you avoid this place and go there, or any other bike shop in Pilsen for that matter. I got a new tire for a reasonable price of around $40 including labor at Irvs. On my way there my tire blew out, meaning I paid $10 at Pilsen Bikes for a shoddy job and 1 day of use from that "fixed" flat. The day after I decided to go to Irvs Bike Shop because I had heard good things. I ended up loosening my back brake and made it through the next day riding to and from work. Being tired from work and far enough from the shop to not want to go back I decided I would just eat the 10 dollars and take it to a real shop in the next few days. Im not sure what hed done to fix my flat, but the tube was bulbous in one area and was rubbing up against my back brake each time it spun around. When riding home I noticed some irregularity on my back tire and I stopped to look at it. Im sure there are kids out there that are very knowledgeable on fixing bikes, but the kid that fixed my wheel obviously wasnt. The first red flag came from the fact that the mechanics there looked like they were all in high school. It was only $10 to fix the flat, so the price was reasonable. I had seen the negative reviews but decided to take my chances that they were just a few bad experiences. I stopped by this shop on the way home to get it fixed because it was near my apartment. Just moved to Pilsen and got a flat tire on my back wheel on my way to work.
