S. M.

I’m so happy, I took my bike to Devil’s Bike for repairs. Matt did a great job. He checked my bike and fixed all the problems. He changed inner tube for front&back wheels, fixed my gears and he did a test ride. Now my bike is good as new! Very friendly and great service. Highly recommended.

A. M.

Great experience. Matt was super knowledgeable and was able to take a look at my bike immediately on a Sunday morning, when most other stores are closed on weekends or have backlogs. He talked me through all the adjustments he made and taught me a bunch of things about my bike that I never knew. Will definitely use again! Recommend

A. B.

I booked a bike service only a few hours before turning up and Matt had read my notes on the booking and was incredibly helpful and friendly. He made sure to have the bike finished in the time I had available and when I collected it he explained what he had done and why. The signage to find his workshop is great too as I wasn’t entirely sure where I was going but it was very clear. Would definitely recommend.

I got my mountain bike serviced and a few parts replaced at Devils Bykes. I couldn’t be happier with the service I received. It only took a few days and I got my bike back in excellent condition. The cost was also very fair indeed. I’ll certainly be taking my bike back there for anything it needs in the future. Matt did a great job and he was a genuinely nice bloke to boot. I highly recommend.

L. S. F.

At short notice Matt managed to get my bike sorted for a trip. He is very knowledgeable and provided a brilliant service - fitted new tyres and sourced a handlebar stem. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend Devils Bikes - brilliant service and a lovely genuine local business. Here's my bike going on holiday! Thanks Matt!

E. S.

Matt was great! My first time getting a bike serviced and he talked me through everything he was doing. Discovered features of my bike I didn’t know existed! Well worth a visit and would 100% recommend to anyone. Thank you Matt!

J. R.

What a find! Matt was so helpful and so generous with his time. He even made us a coffee whilst he fixed our bikes! 5 star service all round. What a beautiful place and what a nice guy!

A. C.

Brilliant service and excellent knowledge. Thorough yet speedy turnaround, massively appreciated before an event. If only I was in as good shape as the bike which Matt prepared brilliantly. Highly recommended, good value and local. Have recommended and will return.

S. M.

Friendly, responsive, good value and top work! Fixed my annoying skipping gears and also trued a wheel. Took the time to explain the process to me and give me tips. Couldn't recommend more! UPDATE: I went back to Matt two days before I was due to ride the whole SDW with a new problem (Front Mech)...not only did he fix it within 30mins...my bike was sparkling clean for the ride. Got me out of a hole and ensured I could 'enjoy the SDW knowing my bike was 👌

W. W.

Service second to none! Matt answered calls and saw me the same day! I had an event coming up and Matt fine tuned all the components with great detail so my bike was ready to GO! He changed the break cables and informed me of components that may need changing in the coming months. Great experience. Would recommend

B.

Really pleased! Super easy drop off. Matt was super friendly, patient and explained everything in clear detail. My bike is now in great condition and if needed, I would go to Matt again. Highly recommended!

N. H.

Would definitely recommend. My bike hasn't had a service in a good couple of years so I wondered if this one might result in a pricey invoice, but Matt was honest and upfront, and with little work actually needing to be done in the end, he charged very reasonably (compared to what I'd been quoted making enquiries elsewhere). Really friendly guy to deal with and clearly knows his stuff. 100% worth the ride up the hill to get there!

F. G. F.

Devils Bike is an excellent place to take your bike! I bought a second-hand bike that had several problems. Matt fixed them all very quickly. Now the bike works perfect, and I feel safe using it! Definitely, I will come back to Devils Bike again :)

T.

What a find! I’d been putting off taking my bike in for repair due to the pain of city centre repair shops, I then stumbled upon Devils Bykes! A quick, friendly, and helpful call and my bike was in the workshop. Matt took a repair first approach which I appreciated and gave an honest appraisal of the likely cost of replacement, of which I was already resigned too. I left the bike for Matt to take a look at. Amazingly, a couple of hours later (if that) I get a text to say it’s fixed with a bill far lower than anticipated. Convenient, Proffessional, friendly, fair pricing and super quick service.

I. W.

Put my e-bike into service with Matt, and was extremely pleased with the results. Great communication, friendly support to help me learn a bit more about the technology, and turned around very quickly. I highly recommend him.

F. M.

1st Class Service! I searched for 'bike service near me' & Devils Bykes popped up! Great value, great service, great guy. He explained everything in such a simple way. + Zero 'snootyness' too - always a plus in my book.

H. N.

Great service from Matt. Converted a slightly unloved bike into one looking (and riding) as good as new. Explanations or work and pricing, all up front and clear. Nice chats too with Matt & Laura I'd highly recommend using Devils Bykes

S. L.

I attended a two day bike mechanics/maintenance training course at Devils Bykes last weekend. It was am extremely thorough course covering all aspects of bike maintenance. The hands on course included assembly/disassembly and adjustment of brakes, chain, derailleurs etc. Basics such as replacing tyres and mending punctures were also included in the course. Matt was a very affable teacher with plenty of patience, the two day course flew by due participants continuous hands on involvement . I would highly recommend this course to seasoned bikers and novices alike

N. A.

This is the third time Matt’s had my bike, this time for a chain replacement and service. Absolutely great, I can’t recommend highly enough. Matts a great bloke and really knows his stuff.

F. A.

Took my bike in for a new inner tube. Was in and out within 5 minutes. Matt fitted it for me very quickly and was very polite. Would highly recommend devils Bykes, excellent service!

L. H.

Matt provided a really good level of service to me. Sorting my bike out in no time as I waited, and charged a very reasonable rate. Highly recommended service, Thank you.

S. B.

Took my bike here as needed a repair done prior to selling. Not only did Matt repair the bike, he also cleaned, serviced and sold it on for me with a three month warranty to the buyer thrown in. Fantastic service all round and couldn't recommend highly enough. Thanks again Matt

T. A.

Getting that ‘good as new’ feeling on your old bike is amazing. Having it quicker, friendlier and cheaper than all the decent bike shops is a bonus too. If you’re anywhere near local (Dyke road) then Devil’s Bikes is for you.

M. C.

Asked for a full service on very short notice and Matt fitted my bike in the next day. Very pleased with the work. Gears and brakes working well now. Even replaced a missing spoke. Thanks very much

e.

Matt saved the day! I was set to do a 9am group ride and discovered at 9pm the night before that my inner tube had a leak. At 8am I showed up and Matt was cheerful and fast and sent me on my way. He also fixed up my rear brake and oiled the chain on my bike as well. I was so happy that I dropped my bike off after the group ride for a full tune up. He's a gem! Highly recommended.

J. L.

Very happy with Matt’s service. Personal, knows his stuff, not condescending at all, efficient, friendly and very convenient - especially to where I live but, we’ll, everywhere’s convenient to a B and H-based cyclist!

T.

My bike chain broke on the way to work this morning, did a quick Google search and it came up with Devils Bykes, called Matt who replaced the chain in less than an hour, such a friendly chap and the service was second to none! Price was fair too! Would recommend to anyone who owns a bike in and around Brighton & Hove.

J. F.

I always had problems with my tire. My inner tube was replaced and the tire checked. Price performance is great. No long waiting time and wonderful to reach. I will continue to visit Devils Bikes for further repairs on my bike.

L. C.

It was a pleasure to meet Matt Great work on my bike which needed repairs and a jolly good service all which was done in a day. Feels like a new bike and rides like a dream Whatever bike one may have i would definitely recommend Devils Bykes

O. K.

I had a bad case of the “SqueakyBike” whilst on my journey and found Matt was on my route. I was able to drop in at short notice which was really helpful. He checked and cleaned my breaks and gave me lots of advice about how to reduce the problem and prevent it. He also took my bike for a spin to check whether things had improved. Thanks Matt for your help! Also to your wife for the water and chat! Ollie

G. W.

I dropped my bike off as there was a problem with it’s hydraulic brakes and Matt text me less than 24 hours later advising it had been sorted. Great friendly service. Thanks Matt

E. D. B.

Matt did a service on one of the bikes and “rebuild”another bike. The work was carried out with excellent standard, quick and with great communication. It was very convenient to have someone this local! Thank you!

M. B.

Small, kind gestures are an indicator of a good business. I rocked up with an ageing unfashionable bike that had a loose pedal. Matt was hugely busy with a stack of far more impressive gear but took ten minutes to resolve my problem and get me on the road. I'll be back. Thanks.

L. W.

Matt managed to fit my bike in very last minute to sort my damaged derailer. Very friendly and knowledgeable. He turned my bad day into a good one!

L. R.

Devil's Bykes fixed a long standing issues with a disc break. Pointed out wear and tear. Ordered a new part. Could not have been more prompt, responsive, knowledgeable and meticulous. Devil's Bykes rule!!

T. B.

I wanted to thank you for fixing my bike. There was lots of issues with it but you were very patient and you manage to fix it. I am very grateful and recommend you to all crazy bikers out there. Rev. Tadeusz

K. M.

Matt was friendly, knowledgeable and professional. He repaired my felt road bike and kona enduro downhill bike quickly and effectively.

R. E.

Matt was a great help! Super friendly and would highly recommend to anyone needing their bike fixed.

N. P.

Absolutely delighted to discover Matt's business just around the corner. He has done a fabulous job and I would definitely recommend his services!

T. M.

Yet again, brilliant service throughout. Went out of his way to support me with urgency and diligence, but more importantly with kindness and understanding towards my needs and limited knowledge. Got the bike back when I needed it and in much better shape than I have ever had it. I have since demanded all my friends to change their regular bike repair people...

G. N.

Local, friendly, super-efficient, great value. Took in my bike to replaced a broken derailleur cable at no notice.

Z. B.

My exercise bike (road bike on a trainer) broke while I was self isolating. Matt picked up the broken part from my doorstep, gave advice, ordered a new part and delivered it to me with a free Allen key for a reasonable price. My bike is now as good as new! Highly recommended!

J. H.

Matt was extremely kind and helpful. He fixed up two bikes for me ultra quick, at a reasonable price and with great customer service. Saved me the journey into the city centre too. Strongly recommended, I'll definitely be back. Thanks Matt!

L. M.

Went to get my bike puncture repaired today and it was a 5* service. Matt was very informative, solved the issue and explained why it may be a recurring problem and how to alleviate it going forward. All this with a nice chat and cup of tea. Overall, really easy to book an appointment, good quality, good value for money and friendly, reliable service. I would highly recommend and will definitely be using Devils Bykes again.

P. E.

Matt at Devils Bikes is super knowledgeable and helpful about bikes. My electric bike is back on track! Very happy and would not hesitate to recommend him.

S. K.

I would thoroughly recommend Devils Bykes. From start to finish Matt’s customer service was first class. He even offered advice after the repair and service when I was setting up a turbo trainer, which he didn’t need to do. Great having someone you can trust with all things bikes just around the corner! Thanks Matt!

W. U.

Really nice chap and extremely competitive prices. Did a great service on the bike and even threw in some free end caps. I'm certainly going back to them. Thanks Devils Bykes :)))

S. L.

I visited Matt today about an issue I was having with my bike. He was very kind and professional, and fixed the problem very quickly. I will definitely be returning if I have an issue in the future. I would definitely recommend Devils Bykes to anyone having any bike issues!

O. A.

Fast turnaround and great value! I highly recommend Matt for any bike repairs you may have. Devils Bykes is now my go to place for bike repairs!

J. D.

Matt was very friendly and responsive to my request for an overhaul of a much loved bike which had been handed down from my Mum. He was clear and helpful, and got the job done quickly. Many thanks Matt. Can't wait to get cycling along the seafront. Oh, and a good price too.

G. L.

Matt is friendly and professional and has done a great job on both my bikes. His communication is excellent which makes arranging a time to drop off and pick up bikes really easy. I’ve just picked up my mtb this morn which needed quite a lot of work and it feels like it did when it was new. Matt also got my bikes fixed and ready to collect within 24hrs. His workshop is neat and tidy and carries out his work to a high standard. I am very impressed and will definitely be using him again in the future.

a. t.

Couldn’t recommend Matt enough!! 🔥 Super professional, Really friendly and knowledgeable about anything bike 🚲! Took my mountain bike into Devils Bykes with a few issues; snapped freehub, incredibly pitted and stuck forks… Matt meticulously sorted each issue to a really high standard, despite the bike throwing a few curveballs. Communication was great through out the whole fix! Amazing service🔥 Take your bike here 😁 Cheers Matt🙌

H. J.

I had an issue with my brakes and luckily I found matt at devils bykes! I left my bike with him in the morning and he had a look at what needed doing, clearly explained what he was going to do to fix it and by lunchtime, he had it back to me good as new. Matt clearly knows what he is doing, and even made a few adjustments for me that have made my bike better, at no extra charge! Fantastic work, competitively priced, fast and above all a nice guy to deal with. I would highly recommend Devils Bykes to get your bike fixed. Thank you matt, I will be back with my other bikes very soon!!

M. H.

Took my bike in for a full service a couple of months ago. It's the first time I've had it serviced for a few years and is riding so much better now. Great communication from Matt, kept me updated and was very accommodating when I wanted to pick my bike up early one morning. The workshop is immaculate and organised. I'm just a casual rider and everything was explained to me in simple terms and I came away with a bit more knowledge! Good value for money and I felt my bike was in safe hands with Matt, thanks!

S. R.

Excellent service and attention to detail. Matt really took the time to diagnose and solve a persistent problem with a front wheel. Fast and friendly service.

M. C.

Matt diagnosed and fixed an issue with my Shimano rear calliper on my Hybrid whilst I waited, will definitely be returning!!

D. A.

I can't recommend Devils Bykes highly enough. Matt is a top bike technician - he stripped down and serviced the forks on my MTB - and they ride better than new. Also did an emergency double puncture repair for me on a Sunday morning - service above and beyond ! Great cup of tea while you wait too.

H. S.

We had the most wonderful experience with Matt. He was friendly, efficient and patient, and incredibly knowledgeable about all things bikes. We sat in the sun in his lovely garden and were even offered a cup of tea! Can’t recommend enough. We’ll be back!

N. D.

Matt did a great job giving my bike a good overhaul. He kept me updated when parts were needed and was always upfront with pricing. Would recommend and will certainly use again. Thanks Matt!

M. R.

Great experience, very straightforward and quick process with a cheap and fair price. Lovely people, thoroughly recommend.

G. D.

Matt knows his stuff and will do the best job for you. Full of good advice and he will go the extra mile to sort out any bike problems. He repaired 2 bikes to my utter satisfaction. On top of that he is a really nice guy! Will definitely use again and recommend.

E. S.

Matt really knows bicycles! I brought my bike in for a wheel replacement, along with a quick service and am really pleased to be back out on my bike again. Matt and his wife were lovely hosts that fed me coffee while I waited - a really thorough service and definitely will be back to Devils Bykes with any future bicycle issues.

R. S.

Needed a repair quickly and Matt was able to fit me in. Not only did he do a very good value service he managed to restore and repair one of the Deore XT components instead of taking the easy way out and suggesting a replacement. Will definitely be using again especially as he didn't give me any guilt trips for bike neglect (like some bike shops - you know who you are!)

J. T.

Matt provided a fantastic service - he slotted me in super quickly, with a fast turnaround time and went above and beyond to ensure my bike was repaired and in great condition. I would highly recommend Devils Bykes to anyone!

A. S.

Excellent service. Very friendly. Bike is like new again. Would definitely use again

P. W.

Is there a way to give 6 stars? Matt is a class act and almost makes riding up big hills easier.

M. A. M. M.

A really professional job, Matt tells you what your bike needs and fits whatever you ask for. A great job and above all, without any inconvenience if the bike needs adjustments later.

A. B.

From online booking to speedy service - Matt serviced my bike really quickly, explaining what he'd done and imparted me a few maintainence tips. Highly recommended so much so my other bike is with him now. Thanks.

T. S.

Matt really went above and beyond, rescuing my bike out of the rain at night, and doing serious research to find the right part for my bike, as well as costing less than I expected. I HIGHLY recommend. 👍

T. F.

Amazing experience, he took time to explain the issues in such a way that I felt like I could understand. Best local repair service for miles!

R. A.

Took my bike in for a service and to replace a broken chain. Matt was very knowledgeable and friendly, and went above and beyond in sharing a few extra tips on bike maintenance as well. Great experience all round; highly recommended & I am sure to be back.

D. G.

Very friendly, honest, professional bike servicing. I took two bikes there and Matt was really communicative about the issues that the bikes had. He quoted me for a second hand part that needed replacing, and when he realised it was incompatible, he informed me that he would order in a brand new part but continue to quote me the price of a second hand part. Furthermore, I was expecting to pay for a full service (£50) for one of the bikes, but Matt only charged me for a regular service (£35) as he thought it the bike was in a good enough condition that it didn't require a full service. I would highly recommend getting your bike serviced here, and I will definitely be back to service my bikes here again.

J. C.

Matt did a great job with the full service on my bike despite the fact I brought it in last minute on a Friday, and also took the time to answer some questions I had. I would definitely recommend!
