Knowledgeable and very helpful

The staff were really helpful in selecting the bike without being pushy. They had the bike delivered and built up for me within a week and took time to check it fitted OK and give advice on tubeless tyres and Di2 shifters. A very nice experience.

Great service in Reigate!

My Brompton was making an horrendous squeaking noise. Other mechanics couldn’t work out where it was coming from. I took it to Balfe’s in Reigate where their mechanic Will identified the problem instantly. Part ordered and fitted in a few days. A quick once over identified that the chain needed replacing too. Top work thank you!

Great advice, no hard sale

Lovely staff who spent time providing advice. I had a full service and necessary repairs as well as new tyres put on which enabled me to use my old mountain bike again. Very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful staff.

Friendly and professional

It has a very friendly team that got my bike sorted on the day with a fitted pannier rack.
Very knowledgeable and efficient!

Great service from Will at Balfe’s…

Great service from Will at Balfe’s Reigate - he made a real effort to source the part my bike needed and then held onto the bike for a couple of weeks as the part took so long to arrive. Once it did arrive, the service as completed the same day. He didn’t try to sell me unnecessary work, just good honest service. Would definitely recommend and I’ll be using them again for future servicing.

New bike advice

I needed a particular set up on my Trek Domane, involving some alterations to the headset and internal rerouting. The Reigate store (Julien) was excellent - very patient in listening and providing a solution and never rushing a decision from me. Delighted to have taken receipt of my modified new bike, and a reason why we need independent bike shops to thrive.
