The first dilemma that confronts every prospective mountain bike buyer is whether to choose a model with a suspension system for both wheels or one which features suspension only on the front forks. Hardtail bikes - those which feature only front suspension - tend to cheaper and lighter than full suspension models.
Full suspension mountain bikes have become increasingly popular in recent years. They are now the model of choice for a significant number of leading professional riders, and there are plenty of good reasons.

I visited Formby Cycles yesterday after trying and failing to remove a cassette using my cassette tool. The guy stopped working on what he was doing straight away and 2 minutes later handed me back my wheel with a loosen cassette and didn't charge me a penny.
Great customer service, and you have gained a new customer! Thank you!

We visited today. These guys are amazing. Helped to ensure my daughters bike was the correct size, adjusted the size of the seat for both our bikes which we had bought online. Helped us to buy the correct size helmets and gave us advice about the tyres and car racks. They know so much about bikes and helped to ensure our bikes were safe on the road. We will definitely be returning customers 👍

What can I say. Every contact has been positive over the last 5 yrs. First contact a wet Sunday afternoon. Punctured tyre and no spanner or tube. Arrived like a drowned rat as they were closing the doors. 15 minutes later on my way again and the staff went home late.
Next I bought a Specialised Vado 3 from Evans Cycle. Apart from price all other dealing with Evans not good. I happened to be in Formby so popped in for a browse. As usual the staff were polite and interested in the bike and my experience on it. I happened to mention all good but the BLOK controller a bit of a let down as no customisation

The staff at Formby Cycles were superb. I can whole-heartedly recommend them.
Prior to visiting Formby Cycles, I had tried six bike shops in Chester and none offered the customer service or range of bikes that I found here. I test rode several bikes on the Saturday, ordered my preferred option on the Tuesday and collected my new Lady the following Saturday. Brilliant.
In addition to the bike, I bought pedals, clothing and accessories and received the same service consideration throughout.

I remember buying my first BMX bike from this shop in its old site next door to Don Luigi's. My friends and I would regularly visit there and perve on the bikes and the various parts, despite the fact we weren't exactly biking or BMX-ing experts (think more wannabes than riders).
The business has since moved to a much larger store of the edge of the industrial park next to Tesco which has undoubtedly improved how much stock they can fit in, even if it is at the expense of their previously quite handy location.
The shop itself is bright and shiny (kind of like a new bike, I suppose

Formby Cycles have a formidable range of bikes and accessories and offer competitve prices with some great reductions compared to average retail prices. I was impressed at the huge selection on show and how knowledgable they were about choosing a high end road bike to go for and they seemed to know all there is to know when choosing the right accessories. They also offer a reasonably priced service on the shop floor for those who just can't be arsed to do it themselves. The staff seem to know what they are talking about and have masters degrees in bike pumps.

This is a well respected local shop that over the past few years has gained a huge reputation for offering a great service. If you are after anything to do with leisure cycling this is the place for you, however if you're into the more high spec riding and competing Formby Cycles have just opened a new shop across the road from Formby Tesco. This shop stocks all you high spec gear and can cater for any enthusiastic cyclist.
