Seeing as how Wiggle and Chain Reaction only ever have child sizes in stock and all the grown up sizes are either out of stock or pretty close to RRP. (the things I want at least) Been searching for alternatives.
Probikekit.co.uk (the dot com redirects to co.uk so I assume it's the same company) have what I'd like so has anyone used them recently and would you recommend them? Reviews on forums online seem to be a good 6-12 months old.
Cheers

www.bobshop.de is pretty good for both kids and adult clothing, particularly the random euro team kits.
I posted a return to them 10 days ago. I have not had the money returned to my account, nor have I heard anything from them.
In contrast. Since then I have ordered something from Wiggle, received it, sent it back (free via collect plus, unlike PBK) and received a refund.
So their prices are good, but they aren't as good as the big boys when it comes to refunds. Their online system for organising your refund also isn't as good.

One very good thing is if it is on there web site it is in stock, unless two people buy the last one within minuets of each other, and beat the other person to the checkout.
My son worked for them for 3 months so we know the people in charge so we don't have any problems.
Once paid 24hr postage (normally use the free slow post which is around 2-3 days) and it did not turn up rang the help line and the lady sent me another by 24hr courier and refunded the original postage.
There biggest returns are clothing and it is hard for them to resell these as they have been tried on and refolded wrong, so they end up on PBK's ebay site. be careful with the PBK ebay site as they sometime sell for more than the normal site and they charge postage just look at both sites before clicking buy.

Yep, I've used them. Bought some tubes the other week.
No issues with delivery etc. and they were far cheaper than elsewhere.
However (typically) I noticed that had the same tubes with longer valves immediately after I confirmed the order, so fired off an email requesting they change them.
I never got a response, and the original order arrived promptly.

I've used them, not had to return anything. Tredz, SportPursuit, Halfords (online ranges), Decathlon all worth a look.
I bought something online from Tredz recently and I didn't think that much of their service at all. Wasn't too impressed with Hargroves or Merlin as it goes. Think I'll stick to Wiggle. One click ordering and the returns are convenient and quick

That's a lie. I bought a bike from them, which didn't exist at their shop or their supplier. But they didn't tell me that, just left me hanging with my £600 in their account and no correspondence at all. They broke their own Ts&Cs by taking my money without dispatching the bike, and they took over a week to refund it when I enquired as to where my bike wasMy son worked for them for 3 months so we know the people in charge so we don't have any problems.

Basically, I wouldn't buy from them again
Yes, been using them a lot recently, bought a set of aero wheels and then a power meter.
Excellent service and very good prices.
