I'm going to buy a set of hope X2s and was wondering weather someone has ordered from uk bike store before
Are they as reliable as merlins or CRC
thanks
I assume this is French petrol - be careful in reverse - the car will retreat rapidly at the least provocation.

    I have ordered a few things before, everything has been fine apart from the delivery times which are alot longer than CRC, Merlin or Wiggle, for me anyway.

    I tend to call in as they are local - no postage problems.

    Nice bunch - very helpful and knowledgable and if they give dates for anything that is not in stock they have been accurate

    Bought a couple of things from them and never had a problem with delivery. I have, however, had problems with both Merlin and CRC :)

    UKBikeStore were great for me, however if you're buying a full set of Hopes (including rotors) you're probably better off using leisure lakes as they give free genuine hope caliper mounts if you buy a brake and a rotor.

    ok the reason I was going to buy from them was that you could get the choice of rotor color :oops:
