As above. Great place to buy bike kit online.
as above, got my helmet from them.
just dont buy blind as all helmets have a slightly different shape , go local try a few on then look at online price , ask your local if they want to pricematch.
I think you have enough good feedback already but +1. Very good indeed.
Very good.
I ordered an intercom through them.
When the order was delayed, (manufacturers fault not SBS) and they were unable to fulfil, they gave me a full refund and a £30 credit..
Have used them several times since.
10/10
Also found Fc-Moto to be very good.
Best retailer I’ve used in my entire life. I buy everything there if I can.

Yes,very good.
I oredered a cheapo helmet from them - free delivery etc and received this EMail.
Unfortunately, we are unable to verify your PayPal account due to your address status being unconfirmed. In order for us to proceed with your order, we kindly ask if you could please supply 2 forms of additional identification. Please send a copy of a household bill (e.g. gas, electric, telephone) and either a passport or driving licence which clearly displays your billing address used for this order.
I don't know what this is about but I don't like it !!
Update - due to neanderthal systems interfaces between the vendor and paypal allegedly - not according to Payapl -but there is No way I am handing out passport numbers for a helmet. Vendors are now writing to me. I will be expecting a GDPR "all references deleted etc" before reordering and not using paypal. What a ballache.
Looks like they don't accept payment via PayPal from users without a confirmed PayPal address.
Pay by credit card instead.
Another vote for them, great company with excellent customer service.
Bought some riding jeans but fit wasn’t very good. Which wasn’t their fault but the return process was easy and refund quick. So I rate their service.
If you're after cheap helmets, the ones from on-one are supposed to be brilliant for just £15

I can't disagree with you (me and my daughter both use them for mountain biking) but I doubt they'd be either up to the job or legal in this case?Quote:

Ahh, motorbike helmets, missed that bit, not that it said, ignore me thenQuote:

Exactly what I have done. The problem has gone away and no passports etc required. According to the shop they are getting more than 10 of these alleged unconfirmed addresses per day.Quote:

Excellent retailer, I purchased two Shark Evoline helmets in medium and large to get the best fit. I returned the medium without any issues.
As an alternative, the boss and I always check out the prices at www.louis.eu/
They regularly have sale prices, and shipping is included.
Wifey bought a pair of Daytona tall touring boots for around £290 after exchange conversion - with shipping included they were at least £70 cheaper than the lowest UK dealer.
Daytona boots are made in Germany, so you may not get as good a deal on Japanese helmets, but usually FC-Moto or Louis and are hard to beat.
I use sportsbikeshop and infinity.
There are a couple of infinity shops not too far away and the loyalty scheme is quite good.
I'd happily recommend both.
All the time. They are excellent. Both price and service. Returns easy and refunds swift too.

I have used them on numerous occasions, well priced and an excellent returns system.
