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.
Visit us online at www.WHEELBASE.co.uk or in one of our three stores in the Lake District, North East and Yorkshire.

I took my bike into Wheelbase Ilkley, to have the gears looked at as they were not working properly. My issue was resolved really quickly, plus Liam did further tweaks, checks and alignment on my bike proactively which was much appreciated. Thank you!

DT Swiss Recall
I have had a recall from DT Swiss and they told me to contact my LBS and they would arrange for the wheels to be sent to Madison for quality checks. I have been a loyal customer of Wheelbase for many many years and always recommended them to the guys in my cycling club. On this occasion, Wheelbase told me that they cant help me and to ring around other LBS's to see if they can help !!!!!! - I contacted The Edge at Lancaster and they were so helpful and they are dealing with my Recall. Its a sad day today but my Long Term Relationship with Wheelbase is finished :-(

Excellent, friendly, knowledgeable staff and quick response times. I bought a new Gravel bike and it was delivered when promised. There was a slight problem with some damage during transit but the guys at Wheelbase were straight on it and helped to get the issue resolved.
Over-all, very happy and would recommend.

Top class bike shop
Have been a customer of Wheelbase for many years but in particular the last six years. Purchased 3 bikes and multiple components accessories & clothing. In terms of mechanical service absolutely first class and in terms of product offering it’s always been very good but continues to get better every year. Overall service and friendly staff has always been the shops stand out attribute in my view. What more can I say other than highly recommended in all aspects!
