Walked in wanting to look at e-mountain bikes. Spent 5 minutes looking, totally ignored. Nice shop though, even if they don't open on Sundays.

My wife went to this store, problem with crank guard, unfortunately met a pretty cranky member of staff male, who was uninterested in problem with bike , he quoted £100 to fix labour and parts. A member of her cycling club sorted it out with three new screws..

Arbitrarily cut the O-rings off both suspension hubs without asking before I picked up the bike. According to the guy in-store a lot of people ask them to do it, so now they just do it by default. I needed my O-ring and to be told to "look up the pressure for my weight online" is not ideal. Not quite sure how they expect me to sort the sag accurately. He did mention it would save weight, which whilst this is true, I very much doubt two rubber rings, with a combined weight probably less than a gram is going to have much of a noticeable impact. Very poor. Ironically, they only took off the dork disk because I asked them to, (which weighs more than the O-rings and really is unnecessary). They should not make changes to a bike without consulting the customer first.

Rude, patronising and unhelpful member of staff. While lubricating the main pivot on my recently purchased trek slash, I encountered a loose internal frame spacer that fell into the frame upon removal of the pivot bolt. I consulted trek customer service who were very polite and helpful, they advised the spacer should be under a slight interference fit and not have dropped in, and advised I take the bike into my local store and claim under warranty for rectification. Upon arrival at the store I was met by a disinterested member of staff who was extremely stand-offish and could not have been more unhelpful - He was telling me I shouldn't have worked on the bike, jobs aren't as simple as they seem (referenced a Madone headtube cover replacement job and how the cables/hoses run through it etc. - A very obvious aspect of said job). I queried 3 times how he suggested I could have pre empted this loose spacer and how he would have tackled the task himself - He failed to answer and instead pointed at the logo on my shirt (I was in work uniform, work for an airline) and told me not everyone in my company knows how to do every job. Rude, unnecessary and confrontational. I felt anxious through to the point of collection, to then find comments were left on my workorder regarding 'incorrect maintenance by customer' and 'if unsure to have work c/out by trek dealer'. These seemed completely unneeded to me, the maintenance was not incorrect. Trek HQ acknowledged the issue. I raised this and asked for the comments to be removed, this was agreed but I then had to chase again via phone to get the corrected work order copy sent to me. The phone call I believe was taken by the store manager who was also disinterested in hearing any of what had occurred. I asked a fourth time upon collecting the bike how I should have pre empted the loose spacer and again this was not explained to me. A different member of staff upon collection was much more helpful and engaging. No apology was made at any point. Overall the worst experience I have had in a bike shop (or any shop!), I will never visit the store again and strongly advise anyone to take a wide berth of the place.

No help. Part shows in stock on shop Web site, but upon arrival, told out of stock, maybe a month or so if you order today.

i was not impressed with the customer services and lack of product within the store, on both occasions from different sale staff who where both condescending. On both visits i had hope to purchase goods but felt i will not part with my money and give to these guys. i cannot see myself going back.....

Very disappointed at the service I received in store this morning. I arrived at the store when it opened with my sons broken Trek bike. I was told to take it back to the store we bought it from! When I explained that was in London and not possible to take it back there, I was questioned and asked why?! I felt like they really didn't want to help me. Something I did notice that they couldn't do enough to help the Gentleman behind me. Left the store feeling really unhappy after spending so much money with them to be treated so badly.

With regret I have to leave a 1 star rating. I’ve been in the store several times and made many purchases, pedals, bar tape, clothing etc. The majority of the team are great but there is one gentleman that seems to do everything he can not to help. Considering my considerable spend I went to the store today to buy new bar tape and get it fitted. My tape broke today and I have a 50 mile ride tomorrow so I went to the store in a time of a mini emergency (I know it’s all relative). I spoke to this gentleman and asked for the tape to be fitted and without even asking why he said “not today”. My tape has been fitted there before but rather than understand my need he stood there with his arms crossed. I asked him if it it was at all possible and again he stood there and said not today.... he made no effort to understand my need or look to help. Fitting bar tape is a 10 min job and I would have waited if asked and probably why waiting would have spent another £200 in store. I made a call to cycleworx in Flitwick who stayed open for me to help me so I can complete my ride tomorrow.

Had the bike a week, gears kept slipping and injured my knee, tyre popped and light broke, called about a complete refund and person on the phone kept trying to stear me away from asking for a refund, I gave up and just hung up the phone, now £800 down and have a broken bike that is stuck miles away at my gym. Feel like I have been scammed. Heartbreaking when you don’t have much money. Very disappointed

Shocking service. Man behind tile said he's not working and aim to another guy in corner. He's trying to change my mind in stuff I want to buy, it was so silly. Another girl without any interest.. There are better and cheaper bike store in one miles radius. Thank you, but never here again.

They messed up all my gears and weakened all brake tensions to their liking! They scratched my frame but I don't live local so couldn't go back to complain. Beware!
