Ribble bikes problem solvers par excellence

I and my wife have each had a good experience. My wife’s Ribble hybrid needed tlc after a brief immersion in the Leeds Liverpool canal. A number of Leeds area cycle shops backed off altogether from taking on the repair or quoted around replacement cost of a new bike. The others were put off by working on the motor encased in the wheel hub. Not Lakes Leisure Leeds however who both replaced the battery and stripped and greased the motor for 30% of the cost of the bike.
I for my part have a Ribble ALE step through hybrid bike. Again Lakes Leisure at Leeds have excelled. The Mahle X 35 system was not providing a smooth change down from the higher to lower levels of assistance. They were able to trace the problem to the Ribble fitted lights which were interfering with the function of the Mahle X35 system - which is now working normally..
After two testing experiences we cannot praise their Leeds branch highly enough.

Disapponting service

I have visited two stores now in the last week (York and Leeds) looking to purchase a full suspension mtb, and was looking for advice on what was a good model, spec and value for money and although i was approached by a sales person in each store, it felt like neither where that bothered about showing me the different bikes on offer and when I asked about different bikes, the bikes where never removed from the stands or asked if i wanted to sit on them , and all I was told in both store was "there plenty on the website have a look there". I came out of both shops very underwhelmed and not excited which I am sure you would agree buying a new bike shouldn't feel like this. I have a very different experience at another shop and although slightly more expensive I will be taking business there has they couldn't do enough.

Reply from Leisure Lakes Bikes - Leeds

Hello, thank you for being so honest about your experience. I am genuinely sorry that we let you down across both our York and Leeds stores.

You are absolutely right, buying a new mountain bike should be an exciting, hands-on experience. Hearing that you were directed to a website rather than being encouraged to get on a bike and discuss specs is incredibly disappointing. That is not the level of service we aim to provide, and it’s clear we missed a huge opportunity to share our passion for riding with you.

While I'm sorry we lost your business this time, I will be speaking with the management teams at both locations to ensure our staff are more proactive and engaging with everyone who walks through our doors.

We’d love the chance to welcome you back in the future to show you the service we’re actually capable of.

Best regards
Will

Where it's at.

They had what I wanted at the time it was needed. Doesn't get much better than that. The young man who served me was knowledgeable, polite and helpful.
The tops !

Very good to be honest

Very good to be honest. Bike was cheap and everything I asked for was added on with no issues and was all ready when I went to collect. Also sorted my son’s bike out as well after Halfords set it up badly wrong when I bought it from them.

Shop support for un-obtainable item

I had ordered an item from Leisure Lakes and after 4 months the item had not arrived, the manufacturers could not supply it. The shop assistant investigated the item and came up with an alternative supplier for the same thing at as very similar price. New part has fitted the bill. That's dedication to get a satisfied customer

Can't fault Leisure Lakes

Can't fault Leisure Lakes. Either online or in person at their shop in Leeds, they always have competitive prices, plenty of stock, and knowledgable & helpful staff. Kudos

Hey Ann, thanks for leaving us with this feedback.

Very sorry to hear this hasn't been such a smooth process for you on this order. From what I can see on my side of the system, it looks like we have one of the two tyres but are still waiting for the 2nd one to arrive in from our suppliers.

I've asked Leeds to keep a very keen eye on this order and update you as much as possible. I hope we can get these to you soon.

Thanks
Will
