Conveniently located in Darlington town centre, 15 minutes from the A1, Wheelbase North East opened its doors in May 2016. Local legend Danny Hart officially opened the store, and his Descend Bike Park is only 25 minutes away, in Hamsterley Forest – home to some of the best trail riding in the North East.

great selection quality products knowledgeable staff

The advice and guidance I received around choosing and buying my first eMTB was excellent, as was the customer service. I spoke to several members of the team and all were knowledgable, friendly, helpful and patient in explaining things. The help I received in deciding the size of bike and patience with me around this was appreciated. The handover of the bike and explanation around what I needed to know was excellent and clear. This is the second bike I have bought from Wheelbase with 4-5 years between them and the advice and customer service has been consistently excellent…. Thank you

Friendly and local.

All of the staff are very friendly and happy to give advice when needed and take time to explain the difference between certain products. Only ever had great service from Wheelbase.

I had a fantastic experience buying my new Colnago V5RS from WHEELBASE, Ilkley. From the moment I walked in, Dom were welcoming, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about cycling. Dom took the time to explain the differences between the various Colnago models, answered all of my questions in detail, and helped me choose the bike that was the perfect fit for my needs, without any pressure. The bike was professionally built, thoroughly tested, and handed over in immaculate condition. Theo also took the time to ensure the bike was correctly set up for me and offered helpful advice on maintenance and getting the most out of it. It’s refreshing to find a local bike shop that combines exceptional customer service with honest and expert advice. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase and the overall experience. I highly recommend Wheelbase to anyone looking for quality bikes, outstanding service, and a team that truly cares about their customers!

The staff were patient, knowledgeable & very helpful.


I recently bought a Cervelo Caledonia 5 from Wheelbase. I was in the market for a premium endurance road bike, and tempted by a good deal on a Colnago C68 from another bike shop. However, the latter shop was disengaged and the sale slipped through their fingers. Wheelbase was very responsive in dealing with my queries, and I've got the bike I need with minimal fuss. The handover in the shop was very slick. They paired the power meter with my Wahoo device which saved me hours of watching Youtube videos, fitted pedals and made other minor adjustments. Very happy with the service, and the heavily discounted price was a major factor in my purchase.

Fantastic support for a SRAM derailleur replaced under warranty. Really friendly and helpful team. I'll make the effort to travel to use the store and workshop again. Cheers guys.

Super friendly, super fast, no complaints at all. Informed me on everything important.

Manage tio get me a replacement battery free of charge though bike was out of warranty..Brilliant.
