Warranty, Returns & Exchanges

Returns for change of mind

We have a fairly generous return policy for parts and accessories - if you change your mind, and an item is unmarked, and the packaging is not damaged, we'll refund your purchase. However, we can't take returns of helmets or other safety equipment, or clothing or shoes. If the packaging is damaged or the item is dirty, or if it is an item that was special-ordered, or assembly was involved, we reserve the right to charge a restocking fee.

Payments received via PayPal won't be fully refunded, as PayPal do not refund the processing fee.

Additionally, if you buy something and then realise it's not up to the task, we'll credit the original price towards a more suitable replacement. For example, if you buy an aluminium rear rack and break it, we'll discount a replacement Cr-Mo steel rack. If you buy rechargeable lights and realise they're not good enough, we'll discount a replacement hub dynamo light system. Of course, we'll try to convince you to buy the better product in the first place :) .

We do not offer returns on bicycles.
