OBSESSION TECH

Basecamp service for your bike

Obsession Bikes has been servicing the bikes of BCBR since the event’s inception in 2007. Each of their mechanics have multiple years of experience working in multi-day stage races. These mechanics are considered to be some of the best in the business.

The purpose of an on-site mechanical service is to ensure your bike makes it to the finish line each and every day.

While Obsession does carry a variety of commonly needed parts, note that they can’t guarantee they will have your replacement parts, especially if they are from a small brand.
