Everyone was really helpful and knowledgeable, from first phone call to test drive and then collection. I was unsure about size, setup and how it worked with cycle to work scheme. I initially phoned t... Se mer
Great bike, not great service. Took a lot of chasing to confirm the bike had arrived and was ready for a test ride. After the test ride I waited whilst the mechanic fitted the mudguards, only to dis... Se mer
Excellent service from Ed. Quickly sorted out a minor brake leak and swapped brake pads out despite having a stack of bikes to work through on a busy Saturday.

Attention to detail
Bilao showed great consideration for my bike which was in for a tire change. He cleaned the mudguards of mud to maximise the space for more rugged tyres on my touring bike. He fitted the tyres perfectly to allow a smooth ride with no rubbing he also adjusted the brakes and pumped up the tyres. It felt like a new bike! Thanks Bilao, I Totally trust Balfes for great service every time.

Essex Road store...
I popped into the Essex Road store with my bike after accidentally breaking off the front tyre valve, hoping to book it in for a repair. I spoke with a very friendly gentleman named Ed, who told me there was no need to book it, he’d fix it for me on the spot. I also mentioned that my gears were slipping, and he offered to have a quick look. Within five minutes, my bike was back with a new valve and perfectly tuned gears. When I asked how much it cost, he just smiled and said, “Don’t worry about it.” now that’s real old school customer service. From now on, this will be my go to shop for any bike issues. Five stars!
Slow service, poor communication
I booked an appointment for a simple change of spoke. I booked on a Monday and next availability was the following Monday, but they only sent a quote by the end of Wednesday (despite I dropped the bike on time that Monday). I asked about when the bike would be ready and I never had any response. I finally got a message by Sunday to say the bike was now ready for collection. I can't believe that a simple repair of spoke took, in total, 2 weeks. The communication throughout the service was simply non-existing.
Thanks for your help with checking…
Thanks for your help with checking Shimano chainset recalls. All good.
Very knowledgeable 😁
Bike service
Great handling by front of shop team when dropping off and collecting bike.
Good communication throughout the service itself on progress and work to be done.
Bike rides as good as new after the work.
