Basic Bike Fitting

Hi all,

 

Can anyone recommend a place that does bike fitments around Northriding/Honeydew? 
Got a new bike but need to get the basics done (shocks, tyres, seat, handlebar). I am not a racer so literally just looking to have these done right for a more comfortable ride without breaking the bank as I need to buy pumps and some odds and ends too.

Much appreciated.

(I am new to the technical side, please don't judge my lack of knowledge. Want to do a course eventually too lol).

they operate out of nicholas plants which is about 200 metres form northgate on witkoppen (cnr northumberland and montrose ) towards four ways on the right

Correct. Depends which day of the week. Alternates between 3 different shops I think

Two options not mentioned above and reasonably close to Northriding / Honeydew are:

1) Westrand cycles on Ontdekkers (is a spez shop but Jeandre does bike fittings on all brands)

 

2) Customized cycling solutions in Fourways

Thank you all, for the feedback and suggestions. Will certainly look into them. CycleFit was a bit expensive for what I am looking for at this point.

Much appreciated

Richard Baxter at Dunkeld cycles, only guy I trust with my bike fitment.

Yeah 5 shops he alternates between - I have only had beyond great help from Rich as well as tips and guides to help you strengthen up for a more aggressive fit if you looking at racing etc. What a gentleman.

I think the main point was he didnt want to spend too much. If you are looking for a basic fitment contact me, wont cost a thing.

Thank you forgotten. I am by no means looking for a freebie, just didnt see the point in spending R1k for a race fitting sort of thing.

 

Please send me your info and where you are based. Really appreciate it.
