SE20 Cycles

This place saved me on my London to Brighton cycle on a Sunday morning. Seems like a great bike shop with a friendly owner and would definitely come back here again.Update April 2021: had a very high quality and quick service from Joseph. Him and the owner Winnie are very knowledgeable about parts, offer great advice and I can tell they enjoy what they do.

“Don’t talk to him, he just makes the coffee - talk nicely to the man at the back”.I was a long way from home with a snapped gear cable.The atmosphere here is lovely, the coffee smelled great. But it’s the man in the back who makes a bike shop.And Winnie, the man in the back of SE20, is special. Knowledgeable, skilled and generous to a fault. I’d trust him with more than my bike.He wished me well for my ride home. I wish SE20 Cycles well too - this is what a local bike shop needs to be - a safe and good place to hang out, to get gear and to keep your bike in good condition. Worth a detour.

I’ve been here for a puncture before and the experience was very good so figured I’d use it as my go to bike shop. I needed a gear alignment and Winston sorted things out and offered some advice in regards to the wear on the cassette and chain. I booked a service the following week and Joseph called me a few days before to run over everything as the cassette was bit available. We ran through some options and I ordered one to be sent to the shop, when it came to the service day, it turned out this cassette wouldn’t fit as it had a different fitment, Joseph ran through some options and by looking at the wear on the original cassette could see that I don’t use the full range of gears and as such I opted for a different cassette.The bike was serviced and I collected it, unfortunately afterwards the electric motor was working and I figured out it was due to a cassette lock that would usually be thrown away and replaced with a new one, Joseph found it and I returned to have it refitted (in his own time too) and all was working again, the new cassette works like a dream and the bike rides beautifully.This is not an E-Bike shop and they do make that clear, that is in so much as they don’t touch the electrics, but to service the standard bike elements and ensure your bike runs really nicely, they do an excellent job and I will definitely continue to use this shop. Hick ups do occur on occasion but it’s how these are dealt with that provides confidence and reassurance and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this awesome bike shop. (The cakes look very good too, but I was being good) :p

The only place I trust to fix my bike. Local business, supports the community and go out of their way to help. Cannot recommend enough.

This Bike shop has been turned into a full time Pub! Myself and other residents are fed up of constant parties and gatherings at both the front and back of the building sometimes going till midnight!Myself and other residents have now entered a complaint to the council with proof of the constant disruptions. This was a nice quiet area for families before the Bike shop decided it was a function proprietor and Beer garden.

Always so kind and helpful. Great bike repairs, coffee, games for the kids and lovely chilled out atmosphere

Awesome people. Fantastic service ethic and commitment. What an amazing place brilliant responsiveness, super friendly, detailed advice, shop style and quality of service to bike. Thank you. I wish I'd started coming here years ago!

I can't recommend SE20 enough for their outstanding service, delicious treats, and overall fantastic atmosphere. Whether you're a cycling enthusiast or simply looking for a cozy café experience, SE20 is the place to be. Check them out—you won't be disappointed!

Winston was quick, efficient and very helpful, I will definitely come again.

Came to the store to grab a few low value items (gear ferrules, cable ends, ect).Met with a very knowledgeable and helpful mechanic who also found a barrel adjuster for a rear mech for me, couldn't ask for more!
