The idea of Beck Bros started from a random comment. 1st Bro got back into BMX bikes and suggested that 2nd Bro's kids should try racing. With all of us racing (briefly) the statement "Got our own Beck Bros BMX team" was spoken. We are down to three of us sort racing, but Beck Bros BMX continues on as bike shop and sponsored riders.
Beck Bros is two brothers if you haven't guessed that. As of today 2nd Bro runs the business (and does the work) and 1st Bro does whatever as silent partner. He was experimenting with surfing not too long ago. He had a bad crash in a race that ended his triumphant return to BMX.
We rode bikes a lot in the 80's and 90's. Then here and there throughout the 2000's. Not just BMX bikes either. After a hiatus in the 2010's riding bikes is still fun, but the crashing hurts a lot more now.
Where is your shop?
Next to our house. Cottage industry. We do utilize our local UPS store to keep shipments secure!
What is up with having beckbrosbmx.com and beck-bros-bmx.com?
We started off with beckbrosbmx.com and some people thought it looked like one giant word. And we thought beck-bros-bmx.com was aesthetically pleasing. We kept beckbrosbmx.com just because, and made it redirect here.
Why don't we have a big commercial building downtown?
The town of Moses Lake does not have a strong multi-disciplined cycling community relative to other towns around Washington. Economical it isn't Seattle either. Commerical building rents are up and security issues are always a problem. There just isn't enough bike business around Moses Lake to justify a full-time bike shop in a commercial location. The last one just went out of business after trying for a decade. The cycling industry collapsed in 2023, and many shops went out of business. We are a micro shop that also does mobile service, and we don't have a lot of overhead. By not having $100k in inventory we aren't sweating bullets trying to sell off bikes and parts while trying to compete against Walmart.
Do we carry more brands and have everything in stock?
We are always adding brands. Some distributors prefer bigger shops with bigger orders, so we can't get every brand. Also, we don't want to have to build a warehouse in our backyard to stockpile inventory.
What forms of payment do we take?
Cash, PayPal, Venmo, Visa, Master Card, Amex, Discover, Gold, Diamonds, Platinum, Silver
Do we take trade-ins if buying a new bike?
Yeah, but it really depends on what are you trading and what are you buying.
Do we take payments?
You can make payments to your credit card until we get 3rd party finance setup (Affirm, Klarna, etc.).
Will you help figure out the kind of bike I want and help buy it or help build it for me?
Yes, we're here to help.
Can you fix gear shifters and the gear changer thingy?
Yes.
Do you work on e-bikes?
Depends on what is wrong with it. We'll look at it, but we make no guarantees if we will work on it or fix it. E-bikes vary in quality, type, setup, batteries, software, and usage. Working on some e-bikes is more like working on a motorcycle than a bicycle. They are harder on tires. Most e-bike problems we've found come from the battery, motor, or controller. Depending on the brand and rather it is hub drive or mid-drive it may not be economically repairable. A $350 A-to-Z online retailer e-bike is throwaway once it has drive problems.
