Phenomenal bike shop. Kelsey and Joey are true professionals at the peak of their craft. Communication throughout the wheel-building process was exemplary and you can tell that their attention to detail is present. I came all the way from Seattle to get new wheels for my bike and couldn’t ask for better folks to do it.

The first time I took my bike in was last year to ask about a bike fit. Kelsey and Joey volunteered free advice on how to first try my own adjustments. I appreciated this so much that I decided my next tune up was going to be with them. Not only was this tune up done quickly (within 2 days) but also was much less expensive than competitors. Moreover, they fixed what the other shop could not fix even after I had gone over with them what the issue was. Kelsey specifically asked and listened to what my annoying bike problems were and they are now history. Thank you!

Who gives this place less than 5 stars? There needs to be more stars for this place. This place goes to 11. 11 stars.

Love these guys. Sometimes $#!? happens and regardless of fault, to me its about how it is handled. Kelseys handling of issues was fantastic and I will be returning anytime Im in need of what they do.

Great neighborhood bike shop. Really good mechanic service and they sell high end frames and bikes. A real LBS!

I wouldnt take my road bike to any other person for tune up or repair. Joey and Kelsey run the business with amazing customer service, quality work and professionalism. The price is more than fair for the high quality work and attention to detail. Kelsey even calls with diagnosis and estimate prior to work being done! Thank you for keeping my bike safe and ready for the road!

These people are the best! Seriously! They are honest, helpful, and know their stuff.

I own 2 sets of these these amazing wheels, one CX and one 45mm road. Could not be happier! Thanks Joey.

Great service, very personable. Great community bike shop.

Joeys attention to detail and genuine effort to get to know his customer and their needs is what sets him apart. His work is top quality, solid wheel builds you can trust to last.

Indigenous Wheel Co. is a great small locally owned business. The owner, Joey, was able fix my flat and get my bike back on the road in no time. He gave it a quick once over and asked if I was having any other issues besides the flat. Joey was quick and friendly. He even told me about local bike groups since Im newer to the area. They also have a sweet old shop dog to pet and give love to. Ill be coming back to Indigenous for other bike needs when they arise.

Kelsey & Joey are the BOMB.I moved here a year ago and passed by this shop 1,000 times with the thought whelp, thats one place Ill never need to visit. Then, I discovered the world of Mountain Biking in the beautiful pacific northwest. The Indigenous Wheel Co was the quickest turnaround for bike assembly and repair of all the shops in the area. The owners are so friendly, helpful and passionate about biking that when I slyly ask if its possible to rush the assembly or do it in pieces so I can ride during the weekend, Joey understood completely and made it happen.Pricing estimates are transparent, honest, and quick. I highly recommend and trust this shop with my bike (and future) bike purchases that they will likely help me to find.If you need bike recommendations based on your riding style, friends/local groups to ride with, locations to explore in the area, demo days, best places to practice a variety of riding, and 2 people to help you get extra motivated about the sport, this shop is the place to go!

Super friendly shop. I was in town visiting family, I went to a different shop to join in on their Saturday morning ride, only to learn that while they still posted the ride on the web site, it didnt really happen any more. The shop did mention there may be a ride at Indigenous Wheels. There was, however I arrived too late and missed. The shop owner took the time to go over a route with me, and sent it to my phone. I have a great ride out to Gig harbor and a little beyond. Two thumbs up!

I called this morning (Monday), not knowing they were closed. They answered and when I shared that I needed my double stroller tires fixed, he said the door’s open, I’d be happy to help! He was quick to find the issues, ordered me a new front tire, and carried it back out to the car! I am super impressed with his willingness to help this mama of four! I will definitely be passing on his information to all my friends and family!

Joey is an awesome person and does even more awesome work. I have had Joey build a wheel set for me as well as work on my multiple bike. Joey has never let me down, he has repaired significant damage and always been fair with his work. I will continue to use Indigenous Wheel Co for my wheel and bike needs, Joey is an important part of the community.

Joey has filled a void in the Tacoma area with a shop that encourages community involvement, camaraderie among all cyclists (regardless of discipline), and - most importantly- top quality parts and service. We have brought multiple challenges to him with our bikes and he has consistently exceeded our expectations, all while providing some of the friendliest and most honest customer service Ive experienced in a long time. If you have a bike, want a bike, or know someone with a bike, check out this shop and you will not be disappointed.

Joey is very knowledgeable and accessible. Took my bike in for a race day tune up and he was happy to explain what he was doing. Very upfront and conscientious, didnt try to sell me on things I didnt need. Highly recommend.

Joey is awesome. Welcoming, informative and reasonably priced for us regular folks on our regular bikes. Also does some crazy awesome high end work for those that want amazing elite equipment.

Great service. Very speedy. Other bike shops in Tacoma take a week plus to fix your bike, Joey gets its done in half the time. Affordable. Highly recommend.

Joey runs a great shop. Quality work! I have had him build two wheelsets for me.

I didnt buy anything here, rather just chatted with the two employees / owners. They seemed enthusiastic about their craft. Parking while not abundant, was adequate.

I bought a set of his wheels, they are light and strong. He does all the work on my bikes. Great mechanic and a great guy. I love talking bikes with him!

This shop is a great addition to the Tacoma bicycle community. No attitude, no judgement, just a friendly place to help you keep rolling. I especially like that they have the confidence in their service, knowledge, and support to tell you what you need and reconcile it with what you want. My bikes come back happier and more confident after staying the night or even just the afternoon with Joey. Which as you probably know, happy bikes make for happy riders!

Great experience! Joey accurately identified problems with my bike and made the repairs on time. This shop is a great find!

Timely service, expert advice, quality products and willing to go out of his way to take care of the customer. Also, Joey rides bikes. He has years of industry experience to draw from and knows what he is doing. His shop also exists to be a place for the cycling community which has been awesome . He was more than happy to accommodate my hub preferences on his carbon wheel build and they turned out great. Very fair on price as well. Go see Joey! I have nothing bad to say about him except for how bad he beats me up hill climbs.

I had Joey build me a set of wheels for a gravel bike... could not be happier with the quality of the wheel set....I have been riding on them for a little over a year now and not one problem. I would recommend him to anyone.

This is a great shop! They were able to fix the breaks on my mothers walker with a very short turn around time. I was quite impressed with this friendly and professional crew.

Small locally owned bike shop. The owner is a customer where I work and he is always a nice guy. Fixed a mess up I had when I stripped a screw for a great price. This guy knows his bikes 🚲💯

Shop owner Joey is top notch. Laid back but also professional, it’s a dream running a shop that provides quality service with a passion that’s in the details. He has a strong presence in all disciplines of local cycling team rides and races, so listen to his advice. The dog also likes salt so she’ll lick your glistening legs built up with sweat.He is well known to the cyclocross community from an infamous video if he’s ok. If you haven’t seen it by now, shame on you.

I needed a set of road bike wheels after bending up my Dura Ace wheels riding on a ocean pier dock. Dumb move, don’t do that. Friend of mine suggested I go see Joey, “he’ll take good care of you and he’s a nice guy”.When I got there he dropped what he was doing to come help me. After looking at the wheels, he gave me some options which I chose to buy new. He hooked me up with a set that are lighter than my Dura Ace, ride smooth and are very nice looking. I also went with tubeless tires.Once he got the new wheels and tires on my bike he also fixed a creak that was driving me crazy.On my first ride, one of the new tubeless tire’s blew out. I called Joey and he said come on in and I’ll take care of it. Which he did at no additional cost.Great experience. I highly recommend Joey and his company.Scott Wagar

😎🚲👍 Top quality work, excellent customer service, fair prices. Wont go anywhere else from now on.

Wonderful bike shop! Joey is a great mechanic. I highly recommend him.

I have purchased 3 wheels from Joey @ Indigenous Wheel Co this year (two cyclocross and 1 road). Joey is a pleasure to work with and was extremely helpful in helping me design the wheels I was looking for at a very competitive price. He is extremely knowledgeable and provides top-notch service. Having the ability to work directly with the wheelbuilder and customize the wheels the way I wanted is what sets Indigenous Wheel apart from other options out there.

Premiere place to go for superior hand built wheel and latest products of the trade to get a leg up on the competition.

Joey is the best! I have had so many mechanical problems and no one seem to be getting to the root of the problem. He did!

Joey the owner of Indigenous Wheel Co. is genuinely a great guy and a top notch wheel builder. I have numerous wheel sets that he built, they are going strong after some serious CX abuse!

Nice local shop, friendly and helpful. Convenient location with plenty of parking.

Very friendly and they know their stuff. Beautiful wheel builds. And they glue tubulars too!

Savvy owner who always takes care of his customers

Pretty disappointed with customer service.

I was in need of a wheel update for my cx racer. I had met IWC owner Joey at races in the past and reached out. IWC truly delivers a great experience from first comm thru sale. Joey was happy to apply his extensive expertise, patiently answering my questions and ensuring he put me on an appropriate wheelset for my needs. The wheelset is great, precisely what I was after, provided at a very fair price, and is holding up well to abuse. I recommend IWC without hesitation! Just dont ask him for advice on barrier running technique ha. Extra bonus the shop dog is a must-pet.

Joeys famous. Ask him why. Hes also great at customer service. Your bikes will be glad you heard about Indigenous Wheel Co. They will run better and make you (feel) faster. Ive worked with a few custom wheelbuilders and ridden many custom wheelsets. Joey is the only wheelbuilder Ive used more than once. Or twice. Or how many times now? Four at least. Hell also work with you on finding quality bargain parts or deluxe options, up to a full custom dream build. #joeysokay

Excellent technician, phenomenal wheel builder, great source of information and friendly service. These and many other words are used to describe Joey and Indigenous Wheel Co. You need to stop in and experience the shop for yourself. I wouldnt trade IWC for a porsche and a bottle of Saison Dupont.

Specially bikes built for you.!.

Master of Mechanisms rules

Super dude, super shop, super wheels.
