Shop closer
This store and its employer and employees are quite disappointing! It would be best for this establishment to be shut down for good. Absolutely shame behaviours!

Helpful staff in the Fulham store but items shown on the website as being in store for immediate collection were not in store and could not be found so had to go to Chiswick.
No nearby cycle locking hoops for customers to lock bikes up! Please have a word with the council to rectify!

The team were very polite and efficient on the repair of my bike and texted me within 24 hours to say that it was ready for collection. They also checked everything again before handing it over to me. I would definitely recommend Balfes Bilkes for all your repairs and servicing.
I'm a newbie to buy a bike
I'm a newbie to buy a bike.
The staffs are very helpful although I got some minor issues after the bike pick up. They are happy to help for anything and give suggestion.
Thanks,
Outstanding service
My bike is about 20 years old and was in need of replacement parts in addition to a tune up. When I dropped my bike off for its service, I was told it might be 5 days, given their current workload. But it was ready 24 hours later! Talk about under promising and over delivering! I was thrilled. I’ve used Balfe’s for about 5 years now. Always great service and very nice & helpful staff
Have been lied to by the shop person at the Fulham shop
The person Simon at the Fulham shop sold me on Sunday 17th May a bike on display that had the display broken, he then told me to wait and come pick it up on Tuesday 19th, then on Tuesday I went to the shop and the bike was still broken. Then he calls me and says he will order a new bike to be pick up on Monday 25th and then on Monday 25th I arrive at the shop, he is not there and the bike has not been ordered.
I have filed a formal complain against him and have posted in every social media channel I have in Fulham about him and the poor customer services.
Now Alex has finally ordered a new bike and I expect to receive the bike by June 4th.
All that while I have paid £270 in deposit, cash that conveniently Balfe must be using as working capital for something else while ignoring my order.
Disappointing
Didn't get noticed when walked in and it was pretty quite. 1 of the staff was trying to help apart from that no information on bikes. Quite useless really.
Terrible experience - don’t go near
Terrible. Have had my bike for 2 weeks for a routine service. It was booked several days in advance. Each time I call they claim it’s the next bike. Going in tomorrow to take it back and go somewhere else who’d like my money. Will never go there again for service or a bike purchase.
The repair team always go above and…
The repair team always go above and beyond when I take my bicycle in for repair. Even if it is just changing an inner tube, my bike will come out fully serviced, checking if the brakes are fully functional, etc.
Balfe’s are what your local bike shop…
Balfe’s are what your local bike shop should be. Items ordered arrive very fast and you are notified accordingly. Also the staff are very friendly and helpful in sorting out issues with your bike or components on the spot: time and time again. A big shout out to Luno and Simon the shop manager at Fulham 👍🏾👍🏾

My wife recently bought a bike from Balfes for an upcoming ride, after a week of riding she discovered the frame was too small for her. Balfe's replaced for a larger frame with no fuss and minor cleaning cost, excellent customer service!
