The fingerless mitts have plenty of padding for the heel of the hand, more than the usual mitts - more bump absorbing

Certini Saltash 👍🏻

Purchased my Scott E-bike from Tredz in May earlier this year, hit an issue with an online update causing the bike only to function in limp mode. Took it to Certini, Saltash (my local dealership) although unable to fix on the spot, after contacting Bosch the issue was fixed in a matter of days (quicker than we both thought). They’d also pointed out a few issues with the set up and assembly of the bike itself and managed to rectify this with a bronze service and a small cost. Bike itself is now riding a lot more smoothly. Will 110% be using these guys for all my bike servicing needs in the future.

Thank you …

Absolutely brilliant from start to finish, I use my bike to commute to work and always look forward to take it off road on my time off which by the way I never thought I would do that, but this bike has changed everything for me, thanks to everyone at Certini for making it so easy and straightforward to deal with

Really helpful and friendly staff in store !

Really helpful staff in store, friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Even when I was asking tonnes of borderline 'silly questions' as E-MTB's are all new to me and this was the first mountain bike I have owned in 20 overyears !
Ordered my bike online, went in store and they helped set it up to my phone and set the suspension up for me as well.
Helped me pick out some clothing, spares and a new seat.

Great experience !
