About Wheelbase
Written by the company
Welcome to the UK's largest Cycle Store. We stock one of the UK's biggest selections of bikes from 15 of the world’s best brands like Trek, Cannondale, Cube, Focus, Whyte, Yeti and Frog to name but a few. Plus, the very best in clothing and equipment to help you enjoy the ride.
Today we are Wheelbase.co.uk, Wheelbase Lake District, Wheelbase Darlington and Wheelbase Yorkshire. We pride ourselves on being an inclusive and friendly store for everyone who loves cycling, whether that be road cycling, mountain biking, touring, commuting, family riding or e-Bikes.
We are a team united by a passion for bikes and we have a wide range of cycling experience amongst our sales staff, mechanics and mail order team.
Our passion for cycling is invested back into the sport through the sponsorship and support of our British Elite road race team Wheelbase CabTech Castelli.
Now in its 12th year, we hold our annual MTB demo weekend in April, attracting up to 250 riders to our Lake District store, often in spite of the wet Cumbrian weather. We have a great community of cyclists here in the Lake District and there are plenty of events going on throughout the year, including the 3 Valley Challenge in June, our Tour de Staveley in July and the Wheelbase Spring Classic in March. We offer backing to local organisations where possible and are great supporters of Kendal Cycle Club and Fix the Fells.

Fast delivery.
Good bike; Bad delivery
As many others commented, great bike build quality, but consistently being let down by their delivery partner, DX.
Mis-sold then ghosted.
Purchased a bike listed as 2024 model and the one I received was a 2022. Their argument, it’s still the same bike in the range. My argument is that, whilst that might be true, the suspension, brakes etc. were manufactured in 2022 (which did result in the rear shock being warranty replaced) and that it was falsely advertised. They’ve ghosted me since. What would be fair would be to advertise as 22/24 model, so the purchaser has the info.
Ordered a bike online

Discounted Cannondale Topstone
Really great discount deal on a new Cannondale Topstone bike.
Really quick delivery within a week.
Bike arrived really well packaged, and clearly minimal chance of damage in transit.
Would benefit providing some guidance notes regarding how to build bike and checks to undertake.
Would benefit including pedals.

Great service from wheelbase
Great service from wheelbase. Prompt response to emails and bike arrived super quick and well packaged. Thanks!
Great lights and excellent customer service!
A very easy to use website and the Cube lights I brought were competitively priced. Excellent customer service and support! I had a really helpful follow up call after placing my order to make sure I had everything I needed. Lights were dispatched and delivered very quickly and were really well packaged. They are excellent lights to go night time mountain biking with! Very bright, with good peripheral coverage. Would recommend!
Easy mail-order delivery
Bought a bike from Wheelbase on a cycle 2 work scheme and the process was a breeze. My request was dealt with by Oscar who kept me up to date in a friendly and cheerful way. Bike arrived a few days ago with a delay over the weekend but I could see that was with the delivery company not wheelbase. Would happily use again and recommend.
Rapaha Pro Team Midweight jersey
I recently placed an order with Wheelbase, and I couldn’t be happier with the customer service I received. When my delivery was delayed, their team responded quickly, stayed in touch, and even contacted Royal Mail on my behalf to sort things out.
They were polite, professional, and genuinely caring throughout the process — a rare quality these days! The package finally arrived in perfect condition, and they even refunded the shipping fee as a kind gesture.
Overall, I’m very impressed and would absolutely recommend Wheelbase to anyone. Excellent service and great people!
Happy Customer
The wheels look awesome and they were delivered promptly. Only issues i encountered was I was missing a valve cap and I think Stevie wonder may have balanced the wheels. There seemed to be an excessive amount of weight for brand new wheels and the weights were all wonky. Other than that im pleased with the purchase.
