First time using RM cycles

First time using RM cycles. Having seen the bike I was looking for a competitive price I rang the store to confirm it was in stock and confirmed the correct size for my build from very helpful staff. I ordered the bike on line and received it 3 working days later with free delivery. The bike was expertly packed, just had to mount the bars and front wheel. The electronic gears needed no correction, tyres were at correct pressure and all torque settings correct. All in all a really good purchasing experience. Well done.

RM Cycles were a pleasure to deal with

RM Cycles were a pleasure to deal with. I bought my bike over the web at a great price. But due to the fraud protection from my credit card company I had to speak to several of the guys at RM, all off whom were really helpful. They even held my order for me until I got the flag lifted on my credit card. I was also on holiday when I ordered it and RM helpfully delayed dispatching the bike until the day I returned. Delivery was quick and the bike was easy to get ready for the road. There was also a really nice handwritten cover note from one of the RM guys too which was a really nice personal touch. I'd definitely recommend RM Cycle.

Not so good

Not so good as I haven't received the vouchers, as I haven't had post for a week. Obviously not your fault, but maybe use a different delivery service or r vouchers

Reply from RM Cycles

Hi Caroline. I think there may have been a mis-understanding somewhere here. We don' send out physical/ Paper gift vouchers. The gidt voucher is actually the code that is on your e-receipt that was automatically emailed to when when the order was porcessed. I have re-sent the email with the code on it. THis can be redeemed onbline or in the shop, all you need is the code. Please do call if you have any more questions.

Generally good.

Bike arrived very quickly and was packaged well. Brakes were well set up. Only minor niggle was that gears needed adjustment. Rear mech B screw was too far in and cable tension in both mechs was too high even with ajdusters fully slackened.

Hi Andy, thanks for taking the time to post a review and apologies everything wasn't perfect. We keep a record of which mechanics pack which bikes, so I will now be able to identify the mechanic and pass th feedback directly to him and examine any improvements he needs to make. I realise doesn't change things for you but it wll help us with our own QC. If you would like to call the shop we can make some arrangements to get the work done .
