Only issue I had was I ordered a helmet and all went through. Found out 2 weeks later that it was out of stock. Everything else I ordered was with me and great. Customer service was great and answered any questions I had. Really pleased and happy

Bike arrived late 1 day

Bike arrived late 1 day, with slashed tire and missing swingarm and bottom tube guards. Bars weren't set straight and bolts in the stem were above torque specs.
Bose's for rear brake and rear derailleur are routed internally very poorly entering frame on wrong side (left leaver hose entering left hand side rather then right and same with rear derailleur).
Also dropper post and saddle and front tire different then advertised but this turned up better for my preference.
On the other hand new tire and protectors for the frame should be with me within a week I hope.
Generally bike has not been serviced or / and put together by cytech 3 technician as advertised that's simply impossible.
Overall quite poor experience for the second time out of two but at least love the bike and being technician myself will be able to see over routing and stem issues.

Bought a set of wheels

Bought a set of wheels. Great price. Had a hiccup on the website buying them (more due to external card verifying element) but customer services helped and sorted straight away. Very friendly staff. Arrived very quickly and safely packed. I would buy from again without worry. Love my new wheels
Thanks all at uk cycle centre

Did not receive what I expected...

Chatted with a sales guy on their chat line. I ordered a set of Hope wheels and then needed a pair of 27inch Hans Damf to go with them. So the sales guy suggested I go tubeless, which i already do, but he said they would do it for me at a saving of £70 including labour, they would arrive already setup and ready to go. Great for me deal done. Good saving of time a money right there.

So I go onto the website add all the items to the basket, which is normal except their website only had 26" old versions of the Hans Damf tires. "Don't worry add them to your basket - I will amend the order and we will give you the new version of the Hans Damf at the old price and do the tubeless setup" says the sales chap online. Excellent more savings.... So i do this. Fork over the cash and wait.... a little longer than expected but i put this down to the courier. What arrives, the Hope 27.5" wheels and, yes you guessed it, 26" Hans Damf tires. And to top it off they obviously weren't setup tubeless ready to go.

So, I could send it all back and get them to get them to change the tires, do the tubeless setup, and then get them to sent back. That would take over a week if not longer if the delivery times are anything to go by and I have riding to do. So I chatted to a guy online and he said email Matt. Matt's response was that I ordered the 26inch tires, but he thinks there was lack of coms between online team and the warehouse. Seems there was no amend to my order. Instead of offering a fast track service to sort this out he simply said send them back for a refund. I should have just ordered direct from Chain Reaction as it would have saved me time and money.

All good here folks!

I ordered a Race face handlebar: exactly as described and I'm extremely pleased. I cannot recommend UK Cycle Centre enough.
