Rated 4 out of 5 stars

Generally good.

Bike arrived very quickly and was packaged well. Brakes were well set up. Only minor niggle was that gears needed adjustment. Rear mech B screw was too far in and cable tension in both mechs was too high even with ajdusters fully slackened.

Hi Andy, thanks for taking the time to post a review and apologies everything wasn't perfect. We keep a record of which mechanics pack which bikes, so I will now be able to identify the mechanic and pass th feedback directly to him and examine any improvements he needs to make. I realise doesn't change things for you but it wll help us with our own QC. If you would like to call the shop we can make some arrangements to get the work done .

I purchased a Giant Revolt from RM cycles.
The bike arrived intact but the wrapping was a little lite inside the box, no hard foam blocks just wrapping paper and bubble wrap around the tubes.The frame is not scratched thankfully.
The bike was set up well and the GRX 820 groups performs well.

My giant revolt 2 was well packed and arrived on time. The bike was built correctly with the gears and brakes set up well. Just fit the handlebar and front wheel and off you go. I would recommend RM cycles.
