nobs:

can u put reasons like why are wiggle crap?

chain reaction and wades are the mutts! both do cheaper than rrp on most things, free postage and service is awesome

ordered a tyre from CR yesterday at midday, was here, free postage, at 7:30 am and less than rrp!
ordered sum pedals from wades at same time, arrived again at 7:30 this morn, free post once more, and less than rrp! they even email u when ur order has been dispatched, which is nice

cant say fairer than that really!

wiggel are shit because i ordered from them on monday night and recieved and email saying everything would be sent asap

got this last night (friday):

We've just processed order no: 5560019446 for Mr. john mcdonough

W T F

so its going to be bout wednesday now. =SHIT

Good:
*biketrial/NSE-my es4 came nest day before i went college. pads, rims etc next day ALWAYS
*wiggle- i have had only good experinces with wiggle but DMR F**ked up a order with wiggle resulting in a tension seeker in bits, twice!
*ukbiketore- awesome company all hope stuff is like £3- 4 cheaper and postage is free on everything.next day aswell.
*billys-again next day stuff

Bad:
*Maclaines cycles- plain tits.
*havent had that many bad ones i guess.

DMR_rider- did u click on that button whereby they wait until they have all of the items at wiggle from ther supplier before depatching them to u. they phoned me and told me exactly when everthing was gonna be there, time etc and kept me up to date.

the only extra thing i clicked was for the free delivery (the cheeky c**ts the way you have to click to claim it) because me order was over 50

yea chain reaction and wades are the best. broadribbs were good enough. melksham cycles took there time but i think that was due to the delivery men not being able to find my house.billys were good getting stuff to me next day.
mark anthony were ok with my first order getting it to me mext day. but i ordered some forks on monday and i still havnt got them gonna be like tues/wed before i get them cos bank holiday and wen i rung them they didnt seem to give a flying fcuk.

stiff took awhile to get my t-shirt to me, cant remember really.
i try and stick to chain reaction as they are the most reliable and helpfull and the postage is free no matter how little you spend.

Great - Chainreaction (Very cheap, free postage)
Cleanbikes (Great service)

Good - Wiggle (Had no problems with them, cheap but you have to pay £4 for postage - on anything)

Not so good - Mark Anthony (They charged my £6 p&p on a brake lever which didn't even come first class. It had about 60p of stamps on it )

I think theyre the only one's ive ever used.

PS Winslo is a cock

p.p.s winslo is a cock

p.p.s.s - do something about it then.

clean bikes is cool and chain reactions!!! dont use supercycles unless u have to its got to be the number 1 worest

stif was good wit my fox stuff...i got emails sayin how da stuf was outta stock n what i cud have instead n stuf then they sent me an email wen it was dispatched n shit...they r good

I jusr ordered a Panracer Megablaster tyre and about an hour after got a message syaing that it was all packed and ready for discpatch within 24hours! thats quick imo.

Edit: from Wiggle.

mite be a point to say where from

great: chain reaction cycles
good: wiggle, custom riders

i have had no probelm, with wiggle. well up until recently. I ordered a knucklebone dirt jump helmet and after trying it on ( it came within a few days) i decided it doesn't fit properly. i want to send it back to get a refund, but after ringing them i either can't get through(it justs rings) or is always busy
i have tried a about 7 or 8 times so far, but no luck getting thro. They need more staff on the phones.

also i have ordered a dmr moto r/t tyre a couple of weeks ago and no sign of that yet.

other than that i have had really good service off them, i am giving them the benefit of the doubt at the mo, as i have ordered tons of stuff off them in the past and this is the first time they have been a bit crap.

mike

wiggle arnt cheap at all and their delivery charge sucks, the only good thingis they have EVERYTHING

Good:
Chainreaction Cycles - no need to explain.
Wades Cycles (ask for Colin if you want even better service) - pretty much same as CR.
Bikedock - not as good as two above but still deliver on time and at reasonable prices.

Bad:
Mark Anthony - took 2 weeks for them to tell me that they've ORDERED the required part. Er, no thanks.
Winslo Cycles Ltd. - Atleast 4 weeks twiddling my thumbs waiting for part, came in the end. Scratched.


Those were just my experiences, other's may be un/luckier.

i agree with sammy there, Bike Dock are wicked with their stuff, they are fast and pretty cheap.

I have bought nuff stuff from there and its all good!

SWEEEEEEEETTTTTAAA! Wiggle sent me 2 mega blaster for the price of 1 by accident .

Cleanbikes are brilliant.
Chainreaction cycles are good.
Billys are v.good.
Bikedock are good.

BikeTrial.co.uk - They get shit to you faster than a man with a weak bladder filled with Turbo Laxative...

( Just have to find there phone number sumwhere first )

stiff are good, i got my wheel from there they didnt have the rim in so they sent me an email said they would build it as soon as they got it got another email saying they got the rim, 2 hours later got a message saying it had been dispatched and an appologie for the delay, their customer service is very good
never used another company

in my experience they are shite

1) stu's echo es4 had wonky drop outs so he sent it back to them, they said you cant have a new es4 theyre not made anymore you can have an urban instead. but they said they didnt have none in stock, couple of days later they sell a echo urban to a mate in the next town! gits!
so they send stu the es4 back so he can ride untill they have some urbans in stock, its now been about 2 months, but then that might be to do with echo not sending them any urbans, i dunno

2) dave orders a echo bar and stem in silver, they send him a black stem with gold bars :wacko: so he sends the stem back and says oi! i wanted silver, they send the b*****d back and say they dont make silver ones anymore so your stuck with this one


dodgy

Excellent- Chainreaction cycles

Good- BikeDock
UK Bikestore
Clean Bikes (only brought from them once so i cant really say excellent yet)

Bad- Super Cycles
Wrights bikes

I got charged £5 P&P on a middleburn chainring from all terrain..... oooh heavy! i wonder what their packers are on per hour if postage/ Packing costs that much!? :wacko:

Cleanbikes are excellent. I have dealt with them several times, and they gave me money off for taking longer than expected to get my bar and stem to me, which wasn't actually there fault.

yeah ive sed this before but ile say it agen, buyn from mark anthonysis dodgy
phone them up and order sumfin and their postage costs will change from call to call.
my advise if u hav to order from them online, that way the postage is free

woolly hat shop-great postage time.
i ordered at 4pm they sed it wud be dispatched 2mora, but no, i received it at 7.30am in the moring the next day!!! great service

good.
chain reaction
mad team shop



arse hols
super cycles
wiggle

Will any of these places accept my solo card??

JoN

Most places do. Just put it in under switch, and it works fine.

Definitely does at: Chain Reaction, Wiggle, MarkAnthony, Cleanbikes, Bikedock

cleanbikes are very very helpful i like to order most of my mod parts from there
chainreaction very good but i sent something back cos ity was broke and they do free delivery for anything really but chared me 90p for a letter took it out of my refund money

ez trials r the dogs m8...they replaced ma F**ked stem...even thought they couldnt find anything rong wit it they replaced it....also the service there is wicked and finally the p and p is fairly quick...i got ma bar and stem in 2 days and the replacement stem was sent out friday and i got it saturday...they r kool.
a few others i like r:
ez trials
chain reaction cycles
ashton bikes
clean bikes
wiggle

Hmmm... Interesting...

i just had some speedy service from Chain rection.
but it were shoodyly packedmy new tyre was the packaging for my rims
so it was covered in tape and took me ages to get it all off and all the mailing info was stuck to it and in the knobbles.
apart from that, great

ally

what about merlin??
they make the best wheels and are quick

calm down hes obviosly a banana

they do make good wheels
ive had my rear xc on 521 for over 6 months and havent had to true it yet.
and im a heavy rider

I got my d521 on xc from merlin.. took a wekk but thats cos I screwed up the card details.. its been built well.. but how wud I know im still learning

Chainreaction are ok as long as you use the web to order things, if you ring them then they are useless. I ordered a wheel and a tyre from them, and they have sent me a different tyre to the one I asked for, and they also sent it by normal postage not the special delivery I had asked for. Apart from that they seem fine.

Joe.

Supercycles are okay. Takes about 3 days to arrive.

on-one - crap, they didn't even bother telling me something was out of stock.

chian reaction rulez best service and delivery!

Bike dock... great phone operators realy helpfull and give you a good deal but they had to wait on a part to get in and didnt tell me so I was waiting expecting to get my all my stuff, coming to about £800. I least would of thought they could phone and let me know when it was coming if the part wasnt in. been waiting 2 weeks now for the stuff now they say it will all be here tuesday lets hope.. anyone else found them to be like this?

it hasnt come on tuesday !!! FFS
