Exceptional service while shopping for a new mountain bike for my daughter! They really know their stuff and gave me some epic advice. Quickly delivered and set up perfectly for Christmas! Thanks Balfes, E Dulwich

I brought my electric bike in.

I brought my electric bike in as one of the pedals lost a bolt and it kept falling off while I was riding. The staff were very friendly and polite. They made time for me quite quickly and ordered the part I needed straight away. The part came a week later and they fitted it for free!! (As they said it didn’t take long). The employee who helped me is called Yaz and honestly he was amazing. Thank you Yaz and thank you Balfe’s Bikes.

Fantastic service

Fantastic service. Couldn’t fault them in answering any questions I had and were very helpful in getting the kids seat sort it, thus making sure it was suited for the bike! Will buy from them again!

Excellent website and service m

I was looking for some bone conducting headphones and Balfes' easy to navigate website had a good offer.
Excellent service from the team as I was able to pick them up a couple of days' later.
Thanks Team 👍

I ordered a Trek Domane+ with extra set up with no fuss

I ordered a Trek Domane+ (ebike) and had it sent to the Dulwich store. The staff there were busy but very helpful. I spoke mostly to Julian but also dealt with Mark, John and Jason at some point. All wonderful people and they helped me get my bike ready. Things they got sorted for me before picking it up were getting the brakes bled, added mudguards, a quick rack and GP5000 tyres. No fuss and they were so polite. Basically I would 100% recommend the store based on my experience with the staff.

Bike took five days to service

Bike took five days to service. Somehow it wasn't checked in by staff correctly and effectively became lost in the system. It's getting very expensive for a service at Balfe's. £276 for a new chain, general service, and cassette is more than 25% of the cost of the bike (also from Balfe's) and seems disproportionate to me.
