My bottom bracket collapsed I was so grateful for the help and enthusiasm from Gary and his team especially George who dealt with my problem,sourced the correct component, & parts for me to complete the job he talked me through the what I needed to do and when I couldn’t set my gears he asked me to pop down he then set my gears on the drive train and explained how and why.
Highly recommend going to Inspiral Cycles.
Many Thanks Neil.

A very well stocked local bike shop, and the staff both know and care what they are on about (not like the big shops who just pay minimum wage grumpy teens)
Very happy with my new bike and the service received... Thanks

Inspiral Cycles get 10 stars from me! They are completely brilliant! Whilst undertaking a charity bike ride from John OGroats to Landsend in aid of Dementia UK my gears and brakes started clanking. I called in and they immediately fixed the problems and saved the day. A huge thanks

I suffered a broken left crank whilst on a cycling holiday in the Pennines. Gary and the team were able to quickly identify the problem, supply the new parts and fit them immediately, allowing us to continue with the trip. Super friendly team, with high attention to deal and good value. Would definitely recommend to locals and those cycling in the area.

What a fantastic online shopping experience!
Ordered a saddle which came wrongly labelled.
It has been replaced in record time with return postage paid - and with good humour too!
Brilliant.

An update to my review below. I have changed my review from 1 star to 4 stars. Following the unprofessional and unhelpful experience with Gary, I raised a PayPal dispute and Francis from Inspiral Cycles was the polar opposite in being incredibly helpful and professional in resolving my issue. Thank you Francis and suggest that Gary transfers all customer calls to you when there is an issue, it’s clearly not his forte!!
Shocking company. I purchased some Five-Ten water resistant shoes 1 months ago. Yesterday was the first time I have cycled with them in the rain. It was fairly fine rain so not

Excellent service, we made an after hours appointment for seeing about buying the wife a mountain bike. Very knowledgeable about bikes and what would suit my wife best for height size and experience. Really nice having a local bike shop where you know you can get good advice and service.
