The website describes a range from everyday essentials to newer products. Many reviews are about orders placed online.
Customers mention fast delivery and easy ordering. One says an order placed in the afternoon arrived the next day across the South Island. Another says a wrong size was replaced quickly, with a return bag sent as soon as the error was known. Several praise the prices and the quick, friendly replies. One rider finds a TLD helmet the most comfortable fit they have had, but wishes there was more room around the ears for headphones. A valve that does not clog and works with a standard pump is also praised. Our pick in Nelson South for a helmet that fits, or a part you need in a hurry.
