  • Not particularly new wave, but balfe bike have opened up in Chiswick and by all accounts a few other locations.
    Perhaps taking advantage of general boom in cycling and plenty of space on the High Street.
    Still huge shortage of LBS in the outer zones 5/6 especially out west.

  • Any experiences of Balfe's in Chiswick? Looking for somewhere in west London to fit a new GRX shifter. Other option near me is the London Cycle Workshop in Hammersmith.

  • I'm sure they are fine, but potentially inexperienced considering they are new. Very much a retail bike shop.

    Stick with London cycle workshop, geared towards service rather then sales, they have always been my go to.

  • London Cycle Workshop are great.

    Bike which is over the road charged me for work that wasn't completed and the newer members of staff are pretty rude. It's a real shame because Andy and Paulo - the guys that started it - are really sound and are always super helpful.

  • I've had good times with Balfes, they haven't worked on my bike but are always helpful when parts are needed and have always enjoyed a chat.

    There's a chap from SA there thats got some stories.

    Way better than Fudges down the road. Way better. Heard good things about London Cyle Workshop and Bike across the street too.
