Returns & refunds

Can I return items from different orders in the same parcel?

You are welcome to return items from different orders in one parcel.

Please make sure that you clearly note each item with its respective order number so our returns team can process your refund without delay.

If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us here.

What is your returns policy?

You can return an item within 100 days of receiving your order if for any reason you're not completely happy with it.

Items should be returned in the same condition in which you receive them: the original product packaging and tags must still be attached, and the products must be in an unused condition (except in the case of products which you have discovered to be faulty upon use) - please contact us and be sure to select 'Faulty product' from the query topic dropdown.

You are responsible for the cost of returning your order back to us. You can do so using any courier of your choosing, but please note that in this case we will not refund any postage fees (except if the goods are faulty or if you have received a wrong product).

Are returns free?

To make sure everything gets back to us safely and promptly, you cover postage costs to return an item.

Once we've received your item(s) back we will process your refund within 10 working days.

How do I return my order?

It's simple to set up a return for all or part of your order.

Please visit your account and request a return for the relevant items/order.

You can find more information and further instructions on our delivery & returns page.

If your product is faulty, please see "My item is faulty, what should I do" below.

Can I exchange an item?

We know sometimes you don't find the perfect size, colour, or style the first time. If you want to exchange your item, we ask you to:

Return the item(s) by initiating a return via your orders page in your account.
Find the new item and purchase that as a new order.

How long will it take to get my refund?

If something's not right with your item we aim to process your return and refund as quickly as possible so you can get back to finding great products. It normally takes between 5-10 working days for us to process your refund once we've received your return.

If you're concerned about your refund, please get in touch with your order number and returns tracking number, so we can investigate the delay for you.

Why haven't I received my refund?

If you haven't received your refund it is most likely because we haven't received and/or processed your return yet. Please note it normally takes 5-10 working days for us to process your refund once we have received your return.

Please contact us with your returns tracking number if it's been more than 10 working days so we can investigate.

My item is faulty, what should I do?

If your item is faulty upon receiving it, please get in touch to receive a free return.

If you have problems with the item after using it, please get in touch as soon as you notice the problem and we will assess the fault. You just need to give us a few details:

Your order number
Images of the complete article and area of the fault. These will need to be sent separately. Please reply to the auto-response email you receive after submitting the contact form.
Details of the problem you noticed and how it first occurred.
Any other information, e.g. has it been washed/dried, and if so, how?

If your claim is accepted, we will either arrange a refund or a replacement if we have stock available.

I, like most people, have slightly naughty thoughts about various things. Most of my thoughts involve ladies, but amongst these desires there is a liberal smattering of bike related paraphernalia. Thankfully for my long suffering wife I’ve not tried to combine the two. Yet.

Chainsets have natural impure thought appeal. They are round. They are shiny. They are smooth, strong, but languidly curvaceous.
I’m a design freak, sorry. I get off on this.

Campagnolo Croce D'Aune cranks
Campagnolo Record Croce D’Aune….DIRRRRTY

Inevitably I am a Campagnolo cranks fan. Nobody (not wanting to start a groupset preference WWIII here, but sorry, nobody…) but Campag do cranks quite so beautiful.

But not just any old Campag. No paint or funny finishes (what is going on with Black Record??). Shiny alloy or untainted carbon only. I have a bit of a thing for late Eighties/early Nineties stuff. This may be because it was a period of sexual awakening for a teenage me. Or it is more likely that that was when I was racing properly, and that’s what I saw the pros rode and I couldn’t afford it.

Race Face Deus XC…OOOoooOO MATRON!

I am in danger of starting a chainset collection. I don’t really do collecting, but they’re so damn purdy. Am I alone in thinking this?
