Stix and Stones

Specialties

Stix & Stones brings complete, professional service to your door. Say, «Goodbye,» to driving your bike to the shop only to leave it there for a week for a simple repair. Do you have noisy gears that don’t shift, brakes that don’t stop, a leaking suspension fork, or even a flat tire or two? Stix & Stones performs all these services! We even perform professional bike fits, complete tune ups and overhauls, and suspension set up at your home or place of business. We allow you to spend more time riding your bike and less time driving it to the shop. Call or e-​mail us today to schedule your appointment.

History

Established in 2002.

Stix & Stones was established in 2002 in Truckee, CA. Jake Otsuka and his family relocated back to the East Bay in 2005. Jake has worked on bikes for over 12 years and has extensive experience and knowledge on mountain bikes, road bikes, and cyclocross bikes. After managing bike shops for nearly 5 years, Jake realized that having a bicycle repaired or serviced is extremely inconvenient. The average person spends 1 hour loading a bike, driving the bike to the shop, and dropping the bike off. That same person spends ANOTHER hour picking the bike up. Jake’s goal with Stix & Stones is to make repairing and servicing your bike much easier and time efficient.
