GreenGoblin Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Hi Guys, After getting back on the bike this morning for the first time in years with a new pair of shoes, pedals and cleats I quickly realized how uncomfortable and forced my position on the bike felt. Can people please recommend where to go and their experiences of great bike set ups, and shoe/cleat setups......... without breaking the bank. Look forward to getting put in the correct position with many happy km's ahead. Thanks

Unknown MTBR Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Set it up in Pretoria http://www.set-it-up.co.za/ Marcel is very good!!
yusufakals Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 cyclefit.co.za, had my setup there, excellent and professional
Yusufm_11 Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Had my set up done at Cycle fit by Richard Baxter. It was money spent well as they tinkered with everything and made my riding all that more enjoyable and pain free.
'Kaze Pete Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 thanks guys, Cyclefit it is!!! They did my setup, and I slavishly followed all advised / recommendations - walked out quite a bit poorer (New saddle and handlebars), but many times more comfortable!Phone and make an appointment! http://www.cyclefit.co.za
Long Wheel Base Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Aaron Brown and Richard Baxter at cycle fit. I was happy with them BUT dont expect to walk out there only paying for just the setup. You can easily end up with a new saddle, bars, bar tape......
Grogs Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Have used about 6 fitters over the years, and Cycle Fit were the best BY FAR.
awesme Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 Cycle fit. they have 2 offices, one on Beyers Naude, Northcliff, other is Bryanston, same building location as Sprocket and Jack, Grant Usher. My option... nice chat with MTB'ers and great coffee. G Www.cyclefit.co.za has been praised before. I've booked with them for a setup on Monday so will let you know how it goes
Yusufm_11 Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 They're definitely not the cheapest though BUT worth it! I went there for a fit and ended up changing pedals and cleats, handle bar and new handle bar tape as well as needing to get a smaller size shoe. My whole riding position was wrong and Richard adjusted my seat post height by about 8cm, he also moved my saddle forward, swapped my stem to face up and then had to buy a new handle bar as I was riding with a 42cm which is why I was getting severe pain in shoulder and neck when I needed a 44cm.
