Quick Navigation
1. General Information
Do I have to register before making a purchase?
No. You can place an order on our e-shop even without registration. However, we recommend registering because it allows you to track orders, save addresses, and shop faster in the future.
How can I create an account on the e-shop?
In the top right corner, click Login and then select Register. Fill in your details, create a password, and your account will be ready.
Why do I pay CZK 29 for cash on delivery when shipping is free?
The CZK 29 fee is not for shipping. It is a fee for cash-on-delivery payment processing. If you want to avoid this charge, choose online payment or bank transfer.
How can I check the status of my order?
You can check your order status by logging into your customer account in the My Purchases section. If you are not a registered customer, you can verify the order status using your order number and e-mail address in the Order Status section.
What should I do if I cannot add an item to my cart?
In most cases, this means that the last available item has already been added to the cart by another customer and is therefore temporarily reserved.
In that case, please contact us at +420 603 498 988 and we will check whether the product can still be ordered.
Need to merge orders?
If you would like to ship two or more orders in one parcel, please add your request to the order note or contact us as soon as possible. If the orders have not yet been dispatched, we will try to merge them.
Do you need to add more items to your order?
If the order has not yet been dispatched, we can still update it. Just e-mail us at info@katmar.cz or call +420 603 498 988.
What should I do if I received different goods than I ordered?
We apologise for the inconvenience. We will do our best to resolve the issue as quickly as possible.
- E-mail us at info@katmar.cz.
- Pack the incorrectly delivered goods and include the completed return form (download here).
- Send the parcel to our address. We will reimburse the shipping cost.
- We will send the correct goods or offer a suitable solution as soon as possible.
If you cannot send the goods yourself, contact us and we will try to arrange parcel collection from your chosen address.
What does “Availability on request” mean?
If a product is sold out, you may see the label Availability on request. This usually means that the item is not currently in stock, but it may still be available in our central warehouse or already on its way to us. If you would like to reserve the product, simply fill in the short form on the product page and we will inform you as soon as it arrives.
2. Shipping and Delivery
What is the fastest way to receive my order?
Orders placed before 12:00 are dispatched on the same working day, provided the goods are in stock and the order is paid online or placed with cash on delivery. For bank transfers, dispatch may be delayed due to payment processing time.
How long does delivery take?
Orders are usually dispatched within 1 working day after payment is received. Delivery time then depends on the chosen shipping method:
- Czech Republic: usually 1–2 working days
- Slovakia: usually 2–3 working days
- International deliveries: individually based on destination
Do you deliver abroad?
Yes. We do deliver internationally, but please note that shipping costs may be higher depending on the destination country.
How can I track my shipment?
Once your order has been dispatched, we will send you an e-mail with a tracking number. You can then enter it on the carrier’s website to see the current delivery status.
What should I do if my parcel has not arrived?
If your parcel has not arrived within 5 days after dispatch, please contact our customer support and we will check the status of your shipment with the carrier.
Can I change my delivery address afterwards?
Yes, but you need to contact us as soon as possible. Orders placed before 12:00 are often shipped the same day. You can contact us by phone at +420 603 498 988 or by e-mail at info@katmar.cz.
How do I know when my order is ready for store pickup?
As soon as your order is ready for collection, we will send a confirmation e-mail to the address provided in the order. Please wait for this confirmation before coming to the shop.
If you cannot collect the goods in time, contact us and we will arrange the next steps.

5. Questions About Products and Selection
How do I choose the right bike?
Choosing the right bike depends on your needs. Basic overview:
- Mountain bikes (MTB) – ideal for trails, forests and off-road riding
- BMX – ideal for tricks, jumps and riding in bike parks or around the city
- Road bikes – lightweight and fast bikes for asphalt
- Gravel bikes – versatile bikes suitable for both roads and light terrain
- City and trekking bikes – comfortable for commuting and longer trips
- E-bikes – ideal for easier riding and longer range
If you are not sure, e-mail us at info@katmar.cz and we will be happy to help.
What is the difference between MTB and BMX?
MTB:
- Designed for off-road, forest and mountain riding
- Usually equipped with a suspension fork or full suspension
- Larger wheels for better stability
- Derailleur for easier climbing
BMX:
- Small and lightweight frame for maximum control
- Rigid fork and simple gearing
- Designed for tricks, jumps and skateparks
- Durable construction for hard impacts
How do I choose the right bike size?
Frame size depends on your height and the manufacturer’s recommendation, which we always include on the product page.
- 150–165 cm → 15–16" (S)
- 165–175 cm → 17–18" (M)
- 175–185 cm → 19–20" (L)
- 185–195 cm → 21–22" (XL)
- 195 cm and above → 23" (XXL)
Each manufacturer may vary slightly, so we recommend checking the specific measurements and geometry.
What is the difference between a carbon and an aluminium frame?
- Carbon – lighter, better vibration absorption, but usually more expensive
- Aluminium – more affordable, durable, but usually slightly heavier
6. Service and Maintenance
Proper bike maintenance extends its lifespan, improves safety and ensures smooth operation. Regular servicing is important for both performance-oriented and recreational riders.
How should I take care of my bike properly?
- Clean the chain and cassette regularly
- Dry the frame and components after riding in the rain
- Check brakes and shifting regularly
- Before the season, check tyre pressure and bolt tightness
- We recommend having your bike professionally serviced before the season
How often should a bike be serviced?
We recommend regular servicing 1–2 times a year or approximately every 2,000 km. If you ride more intensively, more frequent service may be needed. You can book service by phone at +420 774 442 587, by e-mail at servis@katmar.cz, or in person at our Prague shop.
How does pre-season maintenance work at our shop?
To make sure your bike is ready for the season, we carry out a thorough inspection and adjustment of the key parts.
- We check and adjust tyre pressure
- We tune brakes and shifters
- We tighten bolts and important connections
- We lubricate the chain and moving parts
- We assess component wear and recommend replacement if needed
Standard pre-season service is usually completed within 48 hours, depending on current workload and parts replacement needs.
How often should I lubricate my chain?
We recommend lubricating the chain every 100–200 km or after riding in rain or mud.
How do I know when my chain needs to be replaced?
As a general rule, the chain should be replaced after approximately 1,500–2,500 km, depending on riding conditions and maintenance.
How much tyre pressure should my bike have?
The recommended pressure can be found on the sidewall of the tyre. As a general guide:
- Road bikes: 6–8 bar
- Mountain bikes: 1.8–3 bar
- Gravel and trekking bikes: 3–5 bar
How do I know if I need a new tyre?
If you notice cracks, a significantly worn tread, or more frequent punctures, it is time to replace the tyre.
How do I prepare my bike for winter?
If you do not ride during winter, we recommend washing the bike, lubricating the chain, lowering tyre pressure, and storing it in a dry environment.
How can I extend the battery life of an e-bike?
- Do not leave the battery fully discharged for a long period
- Store it at 10–20 °C
- Use the correct charger
- Do not charge it to 100% unless necessary
