Efficient Velo Tools Information

Efficient Velo Tools LLC (EVT) designs, manufactures and distributes our own line of US made industrial-style bicycle shop tools. Our tools reflect precision, workmanship and ruggedness simply not found in our competitors’ products. EVT was established in 1999 by Brett Flemming. Brett started his bicycle industry career in in 1979 at the age of 17 as a mechanic at Albrecht Cycle Shop in Sioux City, IA. By 1998 Brett was the General Service Manager at the Bike Gallery in Portland, OR. With 35 mechanics under his supervision, Brett had become a master mechanic and a hobby shop machinist. Brett used his metal machining and welding skills to support the bicycle service department by making shims, bushings, small hard-to-find parts and his first marketed shop tool, the “Offset Velo Clamp” among other things. In 2013, EVT moved to a 2500 square foot factory space in Portland, OR. Now EVT has one full time employee, as well as several part-timers. Certain components machined for EVT by local Portland-area job shops. None of the tools are made offshore, rather, the skilled EVT team personally hand build, fit and test nearly every part of every tool.
