Veebee Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Where is the best place in Durban to get a set up done?have been experiencing slight pain on my inner right knee and some sharp lower back pain especially when I do more hill training. Want to get this sorted asap, don't mind spending $$$ for a professional service. Tks
Sepia Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Went to Duane Stander at Concept Cycles in Waterfall. Very happy.
Dazshell Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I have yet to go but have been recommended to Deno van Heerden from BikeFit in Ballito. Just waiting for my new bike so don't have to do it twice. You will find his details on Facebook. quintonb 1

Dazshell Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 have a booking with Deno for next Saturday... will let you guys know how it goes.How did the set-up go? I know it was too cold and wet to ride, but did he adjust much?
Veebee Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 How did the set-up go? I know it was too cold and wet to ride, but did he adjust much? Went well, Deno is great guy and assisted with every request I threw at him. all the basics had to be adjusted. Saddle height/position by some margin, had cleat wedges added and had to get a shorter stem. And lastly I need to get a wider saddle. Yip was too cold to try out, will do a loop around Bluff tomorrow but need about 2 weeks of riding to feel the change.
Cheabb78 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Vivek, if you don't mind me asking, what did this set you back $$$? Excluding the new stem of course...
Veebee Posted July 27, 2015 Author Posted July 27, 2015 Vivek, if you don't mind me asking, what did this set you back $$$? Excluding the new stem of course... R650.
Cheabb78 Posted July 27, 2015 Posted July 27, 2015 Seems like a worthwhile investment!! Keep us posted with how it all turns out...

Veebee Posted July 29, 2015 Author Posted July 29, 2015 Seems like a worthwhile investment!! Keep us posted with how it all turns out... 3 short rides in and what I can already feel is that my power transfer is much better. Hamstrings now work a lot more which is a good thing as they need to get stronger and play their part in the pedal stroke.
