Pedal revolution

Great communication from ordering to delivery. Contact made with vendor to update contact number and response was very quick. Order was reported to be 15-18 days after completion of order. Delivery was received as directed.

Item well packed and as described. Hope fatsno front hub. What more to say but hope deliver quality goods as described for the purpose intended. Good price paid cheaper than other sites. I would recommend this vendor

Great customer service

Great customer service. During this time, it is hard to get bikes/parts/accessories. Although what I wanted at first had sold out, they took the tune to help me to find an alternative. They Customer service was great and the staff are knowledgable.

What a desperate shame

What a desperate shame. Has every opportunity to be a great place but one employee behind the scenes has ruined all the great work staff did at the front of shop. Rude emailer and doesn’t keep customers up to date when orders are late. Won’t stop emailing arguing his point!
NB: (Beautiful reply below, but today 4 further emails arguing his point)
Today I was told;
“ When you have a cooler head “ I should reread their emails.
Wow 😮
I have replied saying just the words “please stop emailing me”
Guess what .... more emails followed!!
Truly shocking
For the avoidance of doubt (I asked the retailer to remove my full name that they posted on their review breaching TrustPilots rule 2. I had hoped by not naming the rude member of staff on my review that he may behave in a similar way ).

Reply from Pedal Revolution/ Fatbirds

Dear (NAME REMOVED BY REQUEST),
I am very sorry to hear this, I have only tried to help you and to be informative.
You made a special order for a item and we quoted 2 weeks for delivery.
You then emailed me complaining that it was taking 2 weeks (before the 2 weeks was up).
I responded to you asking if I had made an error or if you were complaining about the delivery taking the quoted time and explained in detail how the order process worked.
You said I was being rude asking this and explaining the order process. I apologized again and explained that I was only asking if I was mistaken and trying to explain how special orders worked.
I also offered you a full refund at every stage of the order if you were unwilling to wait.
I have apologized to you in every email exchange we have had and have only tried to help you Tristan, I am sorry that you are unhappy about this and as per all of my emails I wish you the very best for the future.
Kind Regards
Karl
Update:
Once again, I am sorry you are upset, I do not know how else to apologize or explain things.
There was a bit more to that email than the line you have highlighted and I can only reiterate that we are sorry you are upset with me for trying to help you. As per my email: "I would ask that you read through all of our email exchange again and try reading with it in mind that my tone is polite and understanding, I hope you will see with a cooler head that it reads as a question followed by a polite informative email explaining how orders work with many apologies and attempts to explain."
I think we should call it here Tristan, I do not think I can improve things by continuing to apologize.
I have only replied to the emails you have sent using the "reply" button with your previous email displayed below my reply (I feel that in this instance if I had not responded I would be at fault for not doing so).
Once again I wish you the best for the future and hope you find a suitable outlet for you,
Kind Regards
Karl

I was very pleased with the helmet I purchased and the customer service I received from Pedal Revolution. The product came as described with fast and efficient delivery. Karl the customer service advisor was very friendly, helpful, and gave expert advice. I highly recommend Pedal Revolution and I will be buying from them again in the future.

A proper bicycle shop!

As much as I hate trustpilot as they are not an honest website (from experience that is) I will do a review as we were extremely impressed with Pedal Revolution. Very professional service, gave great advise when we collected the bike and our son is EXTREMELY happy with his new Trek mountain bike. I would definitely recommend the shop to others. Thank you!

Excellent service

Excellent service received from the Norwich branch. A bike was transferred over from the Gorleston branch to compare sizes and the staff were very helpful in making sure that she was comfortable with the correctly sized bike.

Great service

With bikes being in short supply, I ended up ordering a mountain bike online from the only place I could find a suitable bike in stock! But the service I received was excellent. After ordering, I received an email about when my bike would be built and delivered. My bike was fully built in the morning, couriered almost 250 miles in the afternoon and delivered the same day. It arrived very well protected in a huge cardboard box, with lots of foam padding and bubble wrap. Very little set-up was required and I was out for my first cycle that evening. Highly recommend.

34T Hope Retainer ring

34T Hope Retainer ring, as a higher gear alternative to the 32T I'm running on my 1 x 9 setup. Hard to find in stock at the moment, except from PR/FB, and competitive price and quick delivery. Very happy!
