[DonRastafari]

Went to Safeway today and noticed Cactus was emptied out? Did they move or just gone?

edit: oops, i'm mad from the heat

[DirtChump]

Word is they moved over to 48th street and baseline " north east corner " by fry's.

[Mr_Nice_Guy]

Oh, that's a MUCH better and less sketchy neighborhood...

[supermoto]

Word is they moved over to 48th street and baseline " north east corner " by fry's.

If that's true, that's kind of funny. That was Rage's original location years ago.

[JRBiker]

I heard that they relocated to a slightly smaller space in the same center. I think their new spot will be on the 48th Street side of the same shopping center.

[cru_jones]

If that's true, that's kind of funny. That was Rage's original location years ago.

Before they moved over to University? Right on, didn't know that.

[clockwork]

They just moved still setting up I presume ...They also have more than 1 shop

[DurtGurl]

Yup - I had a bike stolen in 1995 from in front of Rage when they were on Baseline. The shop guys were nice enough to take me home to my apt near the University

Cactus pulled up roots at Elliot and 48th due to $$$$. Hopefully we'll see them reopen soon at a new location. I was really sad to see them packing up last night when I too stopped off at Safeway on my way home from work They will be missed in 'tukee!!

[Phillbo]

tttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttroll

[latedropbob]

The change will be nice...good for the Gnar Junkies who break stuff don't have to drive around the mountain to get parts now. Plus closer to airport and AZ Grand which are target areas for Cacti's winter tour business. It'll work good for me cause I won't be tempted to go spend more $$$ on the way home I will miss convience of walking home after dropping bike off. Well...it'll be just a little further now...Good luck on your new home Cactus!!!

[ShortBusJames]

So where exactly is the Cactus pick up for the Gnar van tomorrow and this weekend?

[kenbentit]

Dang. Now I won't have the postride Cactus/LosTaquito combo experience

[AzTa]

The Cactus shop at the Sant Tan Mall is also closed down. I went there last week and found it had vanished.

[azdog]

Did Paaaasch vanish too?

[Grave9]

Did Paaaasch vanish too?

He's still around.

[KavuRider]

Did Paaaasch vanish too?

He was really just a figment of everyone's imagination.

[azdog]

He was really just a figment of everyone's imagination.

I heard he would do tricks for ginger snaps.

[BritMtnBiker]

Weird, was in there last week and noticed that they had a 30% sale on. Strange they wouldnt have said anything about moving. Maybe they dont want my 29er business

[DesertCrawler]

I saw the 30% sale thing too, but was told they were moving to 48th St and Broadway. I think you may be onto something about the 29er angle.

[azdog]

Oh snap!

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) the average gas mileage for new vehicles sold in the United States has gone from 23.1 miles per gallon (mpg) in 1980 to 24.7 mpg in 2004. This represents a paltry increase of slightly less than 7% over the 25 year period.

Speaking of Posh anyone calling his old number 480 406-xx4x I have been asked to pass on the info that its not his number anymore and the multiple bike related texts everyday is getting old..

thx

[Mike H.]

So, no notice on the web about new location... folks in this thread all have a different idea of a new location...

Anyone know for sure?
I need a part, pretty sure they have it... or had it before the blow out sale...

Yea and honking at him and waiving in traffic just confuses everything. Not that I have done that

You should text Paasch at his old number. PM me with what you need Canada.

LOL, me too.

[chongoman]

I remember when cactus moved from the Piedmont location a few years ago. I dropped my bike off for maintenance and went to pick it up the next week and the store was completely empty with no trace of anyone. I was totally confused, and no one mentioned anything about the move. funny stuff.
They move like ninjas in the night.

[FrankAZ]

Well darn - I'd been eyeing a couple of things in there - and it was the closest shop to the house for me.

[latedropbob]

Stay tuned...they will be back!!!

[azdog]

Stay tuned...they will be back!!!

Will it be gingerific?

[FrankAZ]

Probably a good time to get out of that shopping center - as with Walgreens gone, etc the foot traffic will be dropping off quite a bit.

[RBrady]

There's always SMC. I heard Scottys back there too.

Were they not getting a lot of business from the Cactus Jack's regulars?

[Solrider]

I live on 24th street and Baseline and I keep hoping for a bike shop to open up here in one of the many new retail locations that are available. I love the guys at the Pig, but its a bit of a drive. With all the roadies cruising through the hood and all the mountain bikers I see coming off Mormon and Geronimo I'd think something on this side of the mountain would be sustainable.

[clockwork]

Updates! Already feeling the pain of not having access it good service and new parts!Most of all my parts

or passed out or in the bathroom.

[clockwork]

Well went to a few shops I had never been in today and found one of the parts I needed but paid big premium for a small part ..

[SlowbutSure]

This sucks because I have a friend coming in from out of the country and was going to rent a bike from there. Anyone have an ETA on reopening? My mediums won't fit him.

[cstem]

Slow- I believe South Mountain Cyclery still rents and they are in the same side of town.

[cp85bears]

SMC is still there in the Fry's complex. Still my favorite place to shop! Rented a Mach 5.7 3wks ago..awesome bike..They hooked it up for a couple of days for me for 50 bucks..75 if you're just taking it for the day!

[Evil Patrick]

Dang. Now I won't have the postride Cactus/LosTaquito combo experience

Los Taquitos is worth the drive.

[superabound]

I'm sad cactus is moving.
I remember fondly Rage in that shopping center. During the height of the mountain bike "craze".
Why the hell did Walgreens build a new store right next door to the old one. It's just silly to me.

[Noelg]

Los Taquitos is worth the drive.

+1

on a non-related note (but back on topic), still no cactus?

[clockwork]

Not per se...but there is one location open under new ownership. However its only one of the shops and it has no ties with the old cactus except location and name.

Btw its the chandler shop thats open ..

[elrancho66]

So has Cactus resurfaced in a new location?

[clockwork]

No the chandle location has a new owner it is no longer owned by Brian which owned the other locations.

I myself and pissed at them but have gotten over it mostly. I had a couple items in for work and I lost one to them during the deal. The owner of the tukee location has failed to even reply to emails/messages/or calls. Very Shady IMO
