Last week, I went into Cycle Gear to return a KBC Force RR helmet I bought a few weeks ago. I was only using it until my KBC FFR flip-up model came in the mail. I paid $169 for each, although the flip-up model retails for a lot more when you don't buy it online. I ended up not liking either one (FFR too heavy) so I asked them if they would give me some type of credit for the FFR model. The dude looks at it and says "I'll give you full retail for it, store credit only." He gave me $240 credit for a helmet I paid $169 for! Long story short, I traded both in for a Shoei RF-1000 and had more than enough for a smoked visor for day riding. Sweet deal. The Shoei fits a better, and much, much quieter.

I'm not sure if this is their normal policy, but I'll definitely try them the next time. Just thought I'd share.

Ride Safe!

 

yep, theye cool like that on certain things.

 

good deal richiro about time cycle queer gave someone a deal.

 

I think that is their store policy... at least somthing like that, cause when i bought mine they told me if I didnt like it or if it didnt fit right I had a month or something close to that to return it full refund if unscratched for another. ( store credit only ) still good deal. btw congrats on the shoei, they nice, I like mine.

 

hey hoedogg, what kind of bad experiance did you have as cycle gear....

 

I have not dealt with them myself, but sounds like you got a hell of a deal!! Congrats on the Shoei...

 

it's been alot of parts or gear ordering issues nothing in stock on the shelves. then they shut down the service shop so they can't even change a tire that they sell u.or just person behind the counter that is not that experienced.Is the one buy ur house better?

 

i've been to the one in san jose, and they seen pretty good.... and i've done alot of business in the one in santa rosa and never had a problem.... except for the one time i wanted to buy a new helmet and they didn't even know what i was talking about.... after that i made sure i didn't go to the same kid again....

 

theres one in lomita, they know everything about street and street gear and accessories and are damn good with their product knowlege, they can answer a question corectly about dirt, but really are not into it as much as street. the one in anaheim is the complete oppisite, know little about street but everything about dirt. i like cycle gear.

 

sweet deal!
