We needed a brake to be added to our son's balance bike. It was initially looking like it may not be possible due to the bolt on the caliper brake not being compatible with the bike, but Jed persevere... See more

Bike for my 9 year boy for Easter

I went in to buy a bike for my 9 year old son for the Easter hols. Staff seemed completely dis-interested, We chose a basic build at home it home black mountain bike but it was faulty, a design fault with the pedal distance to front wheel, it is also the wrong frame size, and I returned it, unused, to the shop the next day, plus the box, but they have a 'no returns' policy. I was given an email address for head office to contact, but no one has responded. We have a useless bike and no refund and no assistance. Thanks Cycle King

Rather let down

Staff were pleasant, polite and helpful, but our cycle servicing work was not even started until after the expected completion date and an essential component was not checked, resulting in failure of the part on the next use. There appears to be staffing shortages that are affecting turnaround times and quality of work.

Hi. We are slightly confused as you dropped your bikes in for repair on the 12th with a three day collection date. This was signed by yourselves. We completed the work on time and you collected the bikes on the 15th. Three days later? The store management team are not aware of any issues being reported. Please let us know if you would like another copy of your repair paperwork. Regards

Frictionless magnetic dynamo lighting for cycles... …

I didn't know that a frictionless bicycle dynamo for lights existed. It popped up on a Google Search and Cycle King were the only people selling this product. I ordered online and fortunately, Cycle King exists in Chelmsford, where I was able to collect the lighting set. The staff there are always enthusiastic and very knowledgeable.. Very easy to fit and fully adjustable. The lights work very well. Impressed.

As always great service at the Chelmsford store.
I've recently had issues with my ebike and Steve has been great with sorting everything for me. I can always rely on all of the guys for their friendliness, great knowledge and service. I also had an issue the other week with a noise coming from the bike, and while I waited Steve was able to find the problem and sort it at £0. Always such great service and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend. Thank you so much Steve.

The bike was very cheap looking on collections, stickers bumpy, part didn’t look right. I was told that because it was a collection they wouldn’t refund so I had to find out my rights on this and Infact it is illegal not to offer a refund on a faulty item so I managed to get one.
I won’t be buying form this store again.
