The Ouzo Posted November 29, 2018 Share A year or 2 back I had my LBS for a basic bike fit. It helped somewhat but I feel that a proper bike fit is in order as I'm getting pain in my shoulders and neck after around 60 minutes on the bike. My LBS has since closed down, so I'm looking for some place to get it done. I work in Bedofrdview and stay in Boksburg, so obviously those are the first choices, but I'll travel a short bit if need be. Also what sort of cost am I looking at (provided no hardware needs to be changed) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ouzo Posted August 27, 2019 Share So I finally got around to having Richard do a bike fit for me.We did what we could, but I need to get a shorter stem. However just adjusting the saddle has made a HUGE difference in my pedal stroke. Forget what his data says, the proof of the pudding is in the eating, I went for a ride after the fit session yesterday and the changes made a big difference. All of a sudden I'm able to put the power down and felt a lot more comfortable on the bike.I'll need to order a shorter stem to tie everything together, but it was definitely worth it. He'd still like to raise my saddle some more, but its already gone higher by around 25mm, so he wants me to get used to that and then we can start tweaking further.
