Warranty & Faults - Overview
A bike
product or bicycle is deemed by the manufacturer as the group of components it is
made up of - not a single item. The reason for this is that the parts of a component
or bike are made by different companies and are therefore warranted under different
terms. Therefore any fault with a particular product or component on your bike will
be dealt with as an individual issue with that particular faulty part. It is required
that you give us a chance to fix the problem before any refund or product swap can
take place. Determining if it's a warranty issue will be decided between the supplier
and us. Rest assured we will do our best to ensure that the issue is fairly resolved.
Warranty & Faults -
What is covered? Warranty covers faults that develop on
the product in the first 12 months of use and / or the product manufacturers particular
specified warranty period. Warranties cover manufacturing faults and defects but
Not damage caused by wear and tear, crashing or abuse.
My Product has a Fault. What
do I do?
If a fault develops you must stop using the product immediately and return
it to us. We will then return the part(s) to the supplier and they will determine
if it's a warranty issue. Warranty only covers faults that develop during normal
usage of the product. All manufacturers differ on how they define 'normal usage'.
As an example, most manufacturers do not consider racing as 'normal usage'. To define
what a particular bicycle manufacturer defines as 'normal usage', please refer to
your owners manual or the manufacturer's website. As an example, if your rear hub
breaks, top using it and carefully remove the hub or part that's deemed faulty and
return it to us.

Postage
Refund
We only refund postage on goods deemed to be warranty by the manufacturer
or if we send out the wrong item. If you change your mind about a product after
receiving it, we will be happy to exchange it but we don't consider it fair play
to be expected to pay the collection or re-delivery charges and hence this is the
customer�s responsibility. Please take great care when returning your goods to us.
The customer is responsible for returning the goods to the supplier without them
being damaged so please take care. TIP: if a product arrives damaged, take a photo
of the product plus packaging and make a note of any thing that is not as it should
be. You can do this before you send it back. This will help in the unlikely event
that the courier company damages to the product.
