Normal Opening Hours

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.

We currently stock bikes from Cannondale, Trek, Whyte, Yeti, Santa Cruz, Frog Bikes, Cervelo and Cube E-Bikes – with over 120 on display in-store as well as a full range of clothing and accessories. Our experienced team are readily available to offer assistance and advice and the workshop is on hand to service your bike maintenance needs.

Great riding is on our doorstep with the North York Moors and Yorkshire Dales offering superb but tough routes – PedalNorth has a great selection of MTB, leisure and road rides in the surrounding areas, including Hamsterley Forest. Ample public parking is available behind the store on Commercial St.

 


Great friendly service every time!

First class people

Very helpful and knowledgeable,good advice

The staff in the shop know what they are talking about, seek to understand what you need and then help you select the right products without over selling. This is the sort of service that makes me go back to shops.

Excellent staff and service. Workshop always helpful and explain things clearly

Friendly and good range of products

Great range of kit and helpful staff.

Great service and product range.

fast service - quality products

I took my son's (12) Scott bike in for a service, very polite and helpful. Bike retuned the same day fully operational. Great service and reasonable prices for a service. I sometime get the impression when you go in places like this that unless you are after the best kit your looked down on, if that makes sense. It did not happen here and will definitely use the service centre again. I might even buy a bike for myself....!

Staff / dom, was great measured up properly for the correct bike

The Mechanic, Ben, went out of his way to help me out with my bike under an extremely heavy work load. Really great service.

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.

Good communication throughout the process and a fair evaluation of the work needed

Just overall really good experience
