About Ändus Bike Gallery
Ändus Bike Gallery has been located in Aetigkofen in the canton of Solothurn since 1999 and sees itself as a meeting point for bicycle enthusiasts in the Bucheggberg region. The company combines bicycle retail with its own bicycle workshop: The assortment includes e-bikes, cross-country, all-mountain, and enduro bikes, children's bicycles, clothing, helmets, shoes, and accessories from various brands. A focus is placed on custom wheel building: Every wheel is completely hand-laced with uniform spoke tension. Furthermore, the store offers a wide range of rims, spokes of various strengths, and reinforced spokes for e-bikes and extreme loads. A specialty is the in-house cutting of spokes to individual lengths, which enables unavailable lengths without waiting periods. Further services include service and repair work, including fork service, bike tuning with parts from Reverse Components, the installation of CushCore tire inserts, as well as the assembly and setup of bikes bought online. The operation has a display, a workshop, and an online shop with shipping throughout Switzerland.
