I'm looking ar spending £150 with Bikester.

Seems a good deal but are these guys good to deal with?  Could get same from CRC but £30 more expensive.

Anyone used them?

I used them the other week for a Racktime Topit rack. Delivery was very quick, less than 48 hours from Germany. No issues.

Main online bikeshop here in sweden. All good. Google 'visa din rabattkod' and you'll find codes for 10% off on happymtb.se

I bought stuff from them recently and they were good to deal with.

Fast and efficient, I’ll have no hesitation in using them again.

Another thumbs up here - used them a couple of times. Very quick. Very cheap. Both products (thudbuster and rear mech) were US spec though.

It's a thudbuster I'm thinking of. How does US spec vary from UK?

Yeah, they're fine.  Used them a lot over the years (in Sweden).  Item descriptions are often lacking, so it's worth double-checking if you're not absolutely sure, but everything else is good.

I've used them in the UK and all good like others with rapid shipping too.

I thought it was US spec as it came in US packaging (ziptied to a card, 2 elastomers) with the 'warranty' directing me to call US number etc. The graphics were different to my last Thudbuster which came in a box, 4 elastomers with UK importer details etc. Could be they are all like that now though?

Thanks @Winston. I'm not too worried about the packaging as long as the product is the same.

Bought an Eagle GX group off them - cheap and quick delivery with no issues. Would use again.

Bought a MT500 jacket at the beginning of September. Ordered on Thursday afternoon, postman knocked on my door Saturday morning, jacket in hand.
