Beiciau Hobbs Bikes

We stopped at Hobbs Bikes for a couple of basic items not long before the shop was due to close, and also enquired whether it was safe to cycle along the A40 to St Clears. Unasked, the owner then closed the shop on the dot of 5pm, fetched his bike and led us about a mile through a maze of cycle paths, road crossings, car parks and the footbridge over the Towy to the Old St Clears Road, and explained in detail how we should reach the path (not easy), and where to cross the carriageway. This was enormously helpful and quite beyond the call of duty. Hobbs bikes has gathered some poor reviews due to Mr Hobbs' approach to customers, he but could not have been more helpful to us and we would definitely recommend. Just be polite!

All my dealings with Dyfrig have been positive ones, very competent at what he does and very resourceful. Not five stars because he's pricey.

I was travelling by motorcycle with two friends when one of our bikes suffered a clutch cable failure. This happened close to Beiciau Hobbs Bikes and the business owner offered to assist even though this is a bicycle business. Tools and a cable were provided to help with a temporary repair. Whilst not bicycle-related, I wanted to highlight the effort and service the owner went to in order to help us out. Thank you for your superb service!

Took three bikes to this shop. Dyfrig, who i have learnt is the owner, took a look at the bikes, having been told the problems to each. I asked how much, he turned to each bike in turn ' ten pounds, ten pounds, sixty pounds' was his reply. So I'm expecting a bill around the eighty pounds mark.He also told me it would take 2-3 days.8 days later he charged me £160 and insisted he said it was £60 per bike. Unfortunately for him he gave his estimation in front of my son. We both agree to what he said.My advice would be to be careful using this character. He is vague at best and disingenuous at worst. Never again.

I visited this interesting little shop while passing by on a road trip. Well worth a look in here especially for their collection of unusual & classic bikes.Not the widest selection of parts in the store but everything is very functional. The owner seems like a very experienced cyclist & mechanic who most likely can fix any bike you’d bring to him.Glad I popped in here. A fascinating old school shop that’s worth a visit if you’re in the area.

took my wifes trike down there twice to be fixed paid on both ocassions and the problem still existed charged us to fit new wheel bearings and when i took the trike somewhere else to be fixed the wheelbearings in his opinion had never been changed new bearings fitted now and not a problem after a few months of use dont trust this crook wouldnt trust him with a wheelbarrow

Great customer service experienced today from Dyfrig. I witnessed him fixing/servicing bikes, selling over the telephone and selling face to face. It is clearly a very busy time for bike sales/servicing and Dyfrig is clearly trying his best to keep everyone happy,On top of all this, e-bikes are booming from this shop and again Dyfrig is a fountain of knowledge.Dyfrig could not have been more helpful, I was even encouraged to ride one of his e bikes on the local cycle path!! No pressure and great advice.I will definitely be returning once I have my budget sorted..Diolch Dyfrig!!

This team understand bicycles. And no-nonsense approach, 'a bring it in when you can
