Top class mechanic
Very good indeed. I had overtightened a bolt holding the saddle stem to the frame and sheared the bolt head off. I could not find a cycle mechanic who would drill the thread out. The mechanic at Activ did this without any fuss. I am very grateful. Highly recommended.

A good company to deal with
Purchase two items of Ralph’s clothing. Great price and prompt delivery. Unfortunately, I had to return the items as they did not fit. No quibble return and prompt refund. A pleasurable company to deal with.

Very knowledgeable about products, , very quick and personable response on the phone.
Personally delivered my bike and took time to adjust it and make it comfortable for me.
