geoffois Posted December 4, 2017 Share I have had a few bike fittings done, one by a biokineticist (not so lekker) and the others from the bike shop on purchase. I’ve had a few niggles, back pain on the road bike, knee pain when on the indoor trainer and sore butt on the indoor trainer when cycling over an hour. I’ve decided to go for a proper bike fit. From what I’ve seen there’s a few options in JHB. Bikefit, Richard Baxter and cycle fit. Any previous good or bad experiences with any of these (or others)? I prefer things being done methodically and with measurement and reason, I assume all these places should offer something along those lines? Thanks everyone.

Dominik Krob Posted December 4, 2017 Share Swiss Cycles in Rosebank is excellent in my opinion.Also had endless knee, back, shoulder and bum issues...- all gone.They use a Retul methodology and system to conduct the set up.

Lurch the stalker Posted December 4, 2017 Share Not to hikack the thread, but, I was looking around at options for this around Midrand/Centurion.Are there any worthwhile options this side of town, or is it worth the great trek all the way to Northcliff/Sandton/etc?

Patchelicious Posted December 4, 2017 Share Swiss Cycles in Rosebank is excellent in my opinion.Also had endless knee, back, shoulder and bum issues...- all gone.They use a Retul methodology and system to conduct the set up.This will probably be the most cost effective option, but not much will change on your setup though.

eddy Posted December 4, 2017 Share [quote name="geoffois" post="3235985" timestamp="1512390603" Richard Baxter You had the answer all along. Richard was at Cyclefit at the start and IMNSHO was the best along with Arran Brown. One of two of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geoffois Posted December 4, 2017 Share Thanks guys. Let me do the booking. The cost doesn’t really matter I suppose, spent a small fortune on physio in the past year already.I’ll see when Richard Baxter can squeeze me in Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eon du Plessis Posted December 4, 2017 Share How is Richard with mtb setups? He did my road bike setup and did an excellent job.Any idea as to what he charges? His website is unfortunately not the best... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Phil Posted December 4, 2017 Share Cyclefit for me every time. Done two fits on separate bike and not a pain,niggle or anything of the sort. And excellent service to boot. Tried LBS and wasted time and money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't care about the body geometry thing - my big issue is around the handlebar, which causes pain in my wrists. Simple setup should be fine.
