Rated 5 out of 5 stars

I came into the store knowing nothing about buying a road bike and the team were super knowledgeable and helpful. They were very patient with all my questions.

Bough my first new bike - Trek Domane SL7

Bought my first bike from Balfe's Fulham, a Trek Domane SL7, very happy with the service and aftercare provided for the bike. Had some minor issues with the front brake/disk brake, as it was making a loud noise even after cleaning it and being checked by the bike guys at Balfe's in the first instance. On my second visit to them, they fully replaced the brake pads and disk , since then the bike has been riding like a dream.
A big thank you to Jesse and Nuno for the help, advice and support offered on my various trips to the bike shop in Fulham.
They all are very professional and courteous to your needs, whatever issue or questions you might have regarding your bike or be it cycling in general.
Happy overall with my new Trek Domane, since purchasing it at a discounted price I have ordered more cycling gear from them, they also have unbeatable prices and discounts at the moment(December-January 2026).

Reliable and competitive

Balfes bikes have been fantastic. From bicycles to clothes they offer quality, competitive prices and deliver reliably and on time. Very happy with my purchases and the service Balfes has provided. Would recommend.

Good service

Good service, could be more prompt on replies to emails. I really liked the fact that the team seemed to understand that I wanted the bike to be really special and cared about the finer details.

Used Balfe's in Fulham on several…

Used Balfe's in Fulham on several occasions. The majority of the staff are very friendly, others can be rude, blunt and unhelpful. Pot luck who you get each time.

Recently I went in with two wheels to reseal (my winter wheels which haven't been used for 6 months). One of the wheels needed a new tyre, the other didn't, just new tape/sealant etc. I ended up bringing my own new tyre (they tend to be expensive there). Despite clearly explaining on multiple occasions that I only want one of the tyres replacing (with the one I supplied), they fitted new tyres on both wheels and threw out the tyre I wanted to keep/use without letting me know in advance. When I mentioned on collection I didn't want new tyres on both wheels they said the best they could do was charge me 50% after speaking with a manager. Unfortunately I had to outright refuse until they waived it. Be very careful they don't try and charge you for new productions you didn't ask for. A similar thing happened to me earlier this year as well.

They never stick to their turnaround time. Even when you book in a service, they don't start the job for several days, which defeats the point of booking.

Doubt I will go back, despite it being conveniently close.

Great service

Although they didn't have all parts needed to help with my severe puncture, the service was really helpful, knowledgeable and patient with all of my extra queries.
