NotSoBigBen Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Summit cycles in Midrand as far as I understand!
Zerin Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Dont waste your money. It is R1000 and it looks all fancy, yet when we walked out of there nothing had been changed except the saddle height. The guy did not even bother to look at the handle bars, brake angles, bar angles, stem, nothing. Total waste of a grand. This was at Melrose, certainly will not go back.
Zerin Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Did you also pay a grand? Or should i say... waste a grand...
NotSoBigBen Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I assume if you guys were unhappy with the 'fit' that you went back and asked to get it sorted out?
Chubba Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Had a BG fit in Cape Town. Cost me R350 and it was money very well spent, has made a huge difference to my riding. No more numb hands, cramps or lower back pain!
Guest agteros Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Is the fit better, now that you guys have complained here on the hub?
NotSoBigBen Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 My Epic partner had a bike fit at Summit 1 week before the event because of a new bike (Niner) and he was very happy ......
Waltcairns Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Chaps - I am interested in your sentiment on BG bike fit.I am a Qualified RETUL fitter ( superior to BG in my opinion)If you are interested in a decent fit let me know.Have a look at RETUL and the science behind it - www.retul.comRegardsAndrew
Dusty Posted April 11, 2011 Posted April 11, 2011 Aran Brown is in JHB. The bike setup changed my cycling. Niggling injuries disapeared. I would recomend him 100%

This was at Melrose, certainly will not go back. I'm only too happy to dispute this. I do the bike fitting at Melrose and every fit I do is a full BG fit including video analysis of the pedal biomechanics, positioning etc and this includes a full physical assessment including flexibility testing. So I'll call your R1000 for a saddle height adjustment as BS. I also have records of all of the fittings I have done including full reports of those fittings. The fits average 3 hrs and with respect, Retul is light years behind. Please give me details and I'll happily post your video captures of both before and after your fit.
