Buying/Returning Shoes

When purchasing shoes from our website, please ensure that you know exactly what size you need from the specific manufacturer that you're looking to buy as they do vary from company to company. For example the Diadora shoes that we supply come up quite small and we'd suggest going for a size bigger than you usually wear. Any shoes that are purchased incorrectly and returned will be refunded, however as we operate a postage paid policy we will subtract the initial postage cost that we incurred from the price you paid.

Custom Built Items

Custom built bikes and wheels are made up to your specific requirements and as such are not covered by our normal refund and exchange policy, we are not obliged to refund on custom built items. Should you want to return custom built items to us, a restocking fee will be levied to cover the cost of labour during the build, unless the item is faulty. This will typically be £15 in the case of wheels, and £60 in the case of an entire bike.

Faulty goods

All goods purchased from us are covered by the manufacturers warranty, typically 1 year but this may be longer on certain items. These warranties normally cover manufacturing defects and not any damage resulting from crashes, abuse, wear and tear or incorrect assembly. If you feel a product is faulty please contact us in the first instance to discuss what, if anything, can be done to rectify the problem with out the need for return postage costs.

To return any products to us, please:

1. Contact us by email to tell us whether you want an Exchange or Refund.
2. We recommend that you obtain proof of posting since we cannot be responsible for packages lost in transit.
3. Pack the items safely, enclose the invoice and send it back to the address given in email correspondence.
