Evans Cycles

Bought a turbo trainer mat from them last winter and I've been using it every week since, so it's held up well. The site is easy to find things on and it's come through a lot of sweaty sessions without any fuss.

Ordered a bike bell and a set of lights on the app while waiting for the bus, which was easier than the website. Compared to the other app I used, theirs remembered my details and checkout was done in under a minute. The bell rings loud and the lights were there the next day. Happy with it.

Honestly this is a great place to buy your cycling gear and I've been a customer for a long time now. I got a set of winter gloves and a pair of lights, both arrived well packed and in good nick. Customer service sorted a small mix-up with the wrong colour quickly and without fuss. Going back for more lights next month for sure.

I needed a new saddle because the old one had started to hurt after longer rides. I went through the sizing options on the site carefully, since I had a bad experience with a saddle before. The one I chose is comfortable on my longer routes and it was delivered in a few days. Everything about the process worked as it should.

Ordered a bike bag on the app on Monday morning, said it would arrive Thursday but it came Friday. Not a massive deal. Price was good compared to the other places I checked and the bag is decent quality for the money. Just wish they'd updated the tracking, I was refreshing it all day.

Bought a cycling helmet from them because my old one had a crack down the side. It's light, the fit adjuster works well and it was the cheapest one I could find with decent ratings. Turned up in two days in a plain box. Nothing to complain about for the money.

Compared with the bigger online shops, their own-brand cycling shorts sit a touch smaller in the leg than I'm used to. The fit is good through the seat and waist though. Delivery was fine, arrived in two days. I'd probably size up next time before I order, but I'd still look at them first for kit.

Bought a D lock from them after looking at a couple of other places first, and this one was a fair bit cheaper for what you get. Ordered on a Tuesday and it turned up Thursday morning in a proper box. Locking up the bike at work now, feels solid enough and the key action is smooth. Would buy from them again.

I did compare their prices with my local bike shop before I ordered, and they were a little cheaper for the same brand of saddle bag. The ordering was straightforward and I appreciated the clear delivery updates by email. The bag itself is well made and fits my frame. Would be happy to order from them again, though I would ring the local shop for anything needing fitting.

I compared their folding bike with one from a rival shop and found theirs was a good deal more affordable for the same specification. The order process was simple and I received a confirmation straight away. The bike is sturdy and folds neatly into the boot of my car. I am content with the purchase.

ok so I tried to order a set of lights on the app and it kept logging me out every time I added something to the basket. Took me like three goes. Once it finally went through the lights arrived on time which was nice. But honestly the app is well clunky and I nearly gave up. Would be way better if it just stayed logged in, that's all I'm saying lol.

My back tyre had gone bald so I needed new ones before the wet weather set in. Ordered a pair from them on a Sunday night and they were on my doorstep by Wednesday. The tyres are fine, though the price was a bit higher than some other places I checked. Still a decent buy.

I bought a pair of cycling gloves from them and they've been in the drawer since. The padding is a bit thin for longer rides, which I didn't expect from the photos. Delivery was prompt enough. I can't say they've been a huge success for me.

I needed a new chain because the old one had started skipping on the back cassette. Found a decent one on their site at a price that wasn't going to make me wince, and the cassette too. Arrived in about three days, fitted it myself with a quick tutorial I found, and the gears are back to normal. Sorted for under forty quid total, so good value for the job.

They are the best place I've found for cycling kit and I've tried a few places now. I compared a handful of sites for a waterproof jacket and kept coming back to theirs for the price and the returns policy. Got mine in a few days, and it has held up through a month of wet commuting. Really pleased with it.

The first thing I noticed was how quick the search is, I found a pair of winter bib tights and a set of overshoes in about two minutes without scrolling forever. I've been ordering from Evans for years now, mostly for kit and the odd spare part. Prices are fair, the returns process is straightforward, and the stuff usually turns up when they say it will. Nothing to moan about really.

We needed a kids bike for my daughter's birthday and wanted something she could grow into a bit. Found one in their range with adjustable seat height and ordered it online. It came mostly assembled, which saved me a lot of time, and the wheels were straight. Good for the money.

Verdict is it's a decent shop but the wait for my order was long. Bought a pair of pedals and they took six days to turn up even though it said two. The pedals work well and the price was fair. Would just allow extra time if you need them quick.

Got a replacement chain and a cassette lockring tool from them, and the price was a bit better than the local shop. The delivery took three working days which was fine. The one thing that annoyed me was the tool came in a slightly beaten up box and I had to ask for it to be swapped. They sorted it, but it took a couple of emails.

Best value for the money I've found for a bike stand, and that's the verdict from me. I wanted something to keep the bike off the floor in the garage. Ordered it and it arrived in a couple of days, easy to put together with the instructions. Sturdy and it does the job.
