Mcghie’s

blue diamond was full of wonderful surprises. would go again when in vegas again. the bikes were terrific, and the guys at the shop were fantastic.

Just hit the trails at blue diamond with mcghies bikes! A little background 50 yrs old been riding for years east coast technical and XC, Santa Cruz tallboy lt at home trek hard tail 27+ wheels here. Why!!! Because Chris said so!!! The shop has mtn bikes for all levels plus riding equipment, gu’s and gaterade.
Did not disappoint, rode solo, Chris gave me the low down on every inch of the trail. Sent me on the big loop to viagra trail, 2 hrs got lost twice due to old age and incompetence on my part but killer ride!
Second ride went across highway out to badger pass making a left at the T climbing to the parking lot at 5000ft. Fun downhill all the way viagra. 3 hr ride. Great workout!
Stayed clear of all aliens and spaceships per Chris!

BLUF: This place is incredible. The customer service is the best at any rental place I have ever been to. You can rent entry level FS all the way to pro FS Trek mtb’s. The gentlemen that work the shop are fantastic and the trail system offers everything from beginner level to highly technical rides. We rented the entry level FS bikes and left very impressed.
I cannot praise this bike shop enough. I was highly impressed with their service and appreciation for their customers. I will recommend this place to everyone I know.
Entry FS bikes are $ 45
Pro level bikes are $ 70
You can reserve ahead of time. Every bike rental gets a free drink out of the fridge. Awesome! Also if you need to change out a flat tire, the tube is not charged to you.
If you want something to do instead of losing your life savings on the strip, go rent a mtb at Blue Diamond.

We met Chris at the blue diamond location and he suggested a 12 mile loop that went around to an incredible trail name Viagra– it is a highlight of our trip so far and we really appreciate the friendliness and helpfulness of everyone on the trail I highly recommend stopping into this bike shop they also have tours

We had a really great 11 mile ride in the desert, over Labor day weekend. Our guide, Byron, picked us up and took us to the shop. We got geared up there and were off. Byron was really accommodating, as 2 of the riders (there were 3 of use) are beginners. For example, 1 of my friends would get off and walk down most hills. He was the only one who didn’t fall off his bike, though, so maybe he’s onto something. Byron had the beginner guys go a different route and one point, and he and I went higher up and then down a fun curvy run called «viagra» (shouldn’t a trail named viagra be going uphill?). I did manage to endo on that run and I was laying in the dirt, Byron exclaims «doggone-​it» and «aw-​shucks». That was awesome. Overall, it was a great ride, affordable and the staff were very nice.

Unreal experience. Heading out to the desert to ride a mountain bike is scary, but Chris at Mcghies was awesome. Great equipment and an awesome staff to make sure you had everything you needed for an unforgettable time. I would highly recommend, great service, great price, they just need to find a way to make me ride faster!

I’m a long time road cyclist and spin instructor with most of my trips on dirt on fire roads, so fairly new to single track but trying to improve my technical skills over the past year. Anyway, I’ve been wanting to ride near Red Rocks and this was the best way to do it. Amy was easy to work with over email and then Chris set up our bikes and we got Byron as our guide. This guy seriously gets 5 stars all on his own. He picked us up in a timely manner (letting us start at 6 am instead of the usual 8:30 am so we could beat the heat), texting back and forth responding to questions about details, and then picked out a perfect route that could accommodate both my non-​MTB-​riding and newly more sedentary hubby and me. He would send me ahead for side routes with climbs and descents and then ride along at hubby’s pace. He carried water and snacks, took a ton of pics, and shared his Strava ride info. He kept us entertained for about 18 miles for me and 12 for hubby. The routes were not too technical but challenging enough, and I totally recommend McGhies. The only suggestion I would make is that, if you have a rental car, make your way up to Blue Diamond on your own. They do provide transportation to and from your hotel, but it probably would’ve been easier had we driven ourselves. Thanks Byron, Amy, and Chris!

I reserved a solo tour about a month in advance of my visit. Amy was awesome wit her customer service and gave me a lot of confidence about the experience. My guide Byron texted me two days before to see if I needed anything and confirm the pick up time. Pick up at my hotel on the strip was timely and seamless and the ride to Blue Diamond was quick and pleasant. Once there, Byron quickly got me outiftted on a well appointed Trek 29er and after a few tips we were rolling. Byron made the whole trip a breeze and was super encouraging the whole way — which really help to build my confidence with the new terrain. He lead me on singletrack all the way and showed me awesome climbs and memorable descents. The downhill trails were all siper flowy and not too technical and after a while Byron helped me bomb down them with confidence.
Byron carted all of our water and he was always very attentive to my needs andmaking sure it was a peak experience for me — which it was.
On the way down, we met up with another tour group from McGhies, this one led by Jim — we tacked onto their train and Jim led a seriously energetic run back into the shop, showing us all of the perfect line.
I was spent but enthusiastic afterward. What a great experience and what an excellent way to get off the strip and into the beautiful solitude of the mountains full of fresh air.
I definitely recommend this activity and McGhies and suggest asking for Byron as your guide — you will not regret it! Jim is awesome too.
Five stars!

Great bike rentals and tours. Excellent quality bikes. Great tour guides. Thanks Amy we really appreciated the ride. They were very willing to customize the ride to the rides abilities. You can do an easy ride or a hard core technical ride. The scenery is outstanding.

This bike shop and the man who runs it, Chris offers the best quality bike service you can find in the entire United States. I came here on a vacation to rent a mountain bike and take a spin in the Mojave desert, while being a relative newcomer to the sport. This shop was totally prepared for people to walk in, get outfitted with safety gear and a mountain bike in excellent working condition. The best part though, was the detailed directions and trail pointers offered by Chris who has a lot of experience in the Cottonwood Canyon trail system. This place earns a very noteworthy review because of all the things you can do in Las Vegas, NV, you should get up close and personal with the desert, and mountain biking is a great way to do so. This shop will help you out and then some. It’s great to have such a clever and humorous bike expert and enthusiast run this store. We need more of this!!!

Short Version based on my one visit– Here visiting family. Bought a used 29er on CL to leave here for future visits that had all I needed but SPD pedals. Googled bike shops in LV and saw this shop in an area that looked like good MTB riding from the map. Rode up to see what I could see. Walked in the store and met Chris. I asked for the pedals, used if possible. Would you believe it! They sell used SPD pedals for $ 15!
Chris throws them on for me. He gives me a detailed map of the area and trails, and spends the time to describe some of the technical aspects of the trails. Off I go.
The pedals work fine after some adjustment, the trails are awesome, and Chris’s directions and info are spot on.
Thanks to Mcghie’s Bike Outpost for making a shot in the dark a bulls eye!

This company sponsored a water station for the Petal to the Metal race, a fundraiser for Special Olympics, Nevada. The two gentlemen who worked were super friendly. The one main guy made sure we had enough seats and turned on the misters. The cyclists seems to appreciate the misters, the chairs, and the helpfulness of the staff. Several had problems with tires, seats, and such, and they were promptly helped and instructed on proper care of their bike.

I wound up here after a ride through Red Rock Canyon. I’m not from this area, and it was a delight to come across a little shop like this. Totally low-​key and modest, but some serious supplies in there too. Great that they have free water and bathroom. Gels and powerbars too, makes a great re-​supply stop. Chris is a hoot, was very helpful with suggestions and odd questions I had about the area, like the burros wandering through town. He gave a sharp recommendation for a place to eat nearby on a Friday morning. I’m told he makes a mean cup of coffee too. I was amused by the slideshow he gave to two mountain bikers who had stopped by for directions. A slideshow! On his computer. Very detailed.

I stopped in to replace my spare tube I had used. The prices here and at the main store are right on the money. There seems to be little to no mark up at this store. Their prices compare to that of what can be found online.
I also purchased some chain lube. When I asked the guy what he used, he was very adamant of the products and said he personally used it as well.
It’s nice to have an enthusiast running the shop. He was very friendly, laid back and makes you feel welcomed.

Chris is a superstar. I showed up, picked a bike and he went to work on it. Asked me what I wanted for pressure on the suspension and tires, cleaned and oiled the chain, changed the seat. Noting my not insignificant size, he also replaced the brake pads to insure that I had full power braking. He even made me a cup of rocket fuel that he passed off as coffee…
When I returned, he was even more accomodating.
All this special service for a very reasonable price. If you are in Vegas, roll on out to Blue Diamond, rent a mountain bike and go enjoy some great trail riding with panoramic views. Take plenty of water.

What can i say that really hasnt already been said about The Bike Outpost. I have rolled through this place on countless rides on the weekends for a quick stop for a bar or a drink… fyi they have Blueberry Crisp Cliff bars NOM!
The bike shop «Bike King» that was closest to my home recently closed and i needed to get my bike serviced because of a jumping chain. I phoned Chris on Saturday at 3:30 or so and asked if i could run it out to him thinking i would be picking it up the follow day. When i arrived he examined it on the spot since it was probably something minor he thought. I had a bad link or two in my chain that didnt want to cooperate with us and he first tried to remove the section and add a link but that was not the remedy that solved my issue. A new chain was the final repair and in the end was done quickly and on the spot and i was able to drive away with my bike rolling again. Chris really is a professional both in service and mechanics and i would recommend those in the Southwest region looking for a mechanic to make the trip now that our closest show has closed as you would be pleased as well im sure.
On a side note, dont go buying up all the Blueberry Crisp either please, i need my bars.

Chris provided rockstar service. He set me up quickly with a great bike and had me ready to ride in no time. He did a quick tune and the bike shifted better than my new Trek Ex8. Even better, he asked me what type of trails I liked and gave me a GREAT recommended ride with very clear directions and a map. One of my best rental/​MTB experiences ever.
Mega Kuddos and Thanks for a great day!

If you are looking for something different to do in Vegas, try the guided Mountain bike rides by McGhie’s. A great way to learn the Red Rocks mtn bike trail system. Had Matthew as my guide, what a great deal, picked me up at my hotel on the strip at 8:30, we were riding buffed singletrack by 9:15. Great variety of trails and not a lot of climbing to get some really long downhills. The trail system is so varied, can easily find something for everyone from beginners to experts. A great way to detoxify the body after a couple of days on the strip. Beautiful scenery, great guide, great bikes, awesome trails, you can’t go wrong with McGhie’s!

I wnet riding out in Blue Diamond for two days in May. After riding the first day for a couple of hours my bike was beat and my chain rent needed to some work. I left my bike there overnight to have the chain ring replaced, parts all tightened and a minor tune up. They called me to say the new chain ring part wasn’t working out so he replaced my beat up chain ring with a used one he had in the office just so I could ride the next day. They also gave me some great advice about my bike setup based on my body size and positioning. They could have charged me $ 100 and I would have been thankful. The bill was $ 20 and we had a great ride. I wish I could find the same great and honest service at home. I didn’t get his name at the shop but I want to say thanks.

Just bought a pair of Trek’s from McGhies… I knew the service was top notch because a friend bought all of his snowboard gear from them. When we went back, the same sales associate who is well trained, very personable and is very patient assisted us. He made sure we got a great deal and kept within a hundred or so of our budget… here is the kicker. a week later in the mail, i got a little card signed by the owners thanking me for the biz. Classic move. I was really impressed by that… such a small gesture and it really shows the level of service they are commited to. i will definitely be headed back there when its time to upgrade
