I'm in need of someone who can correct my ride position on the bike.
I'm in N Herts, but will travel.
£ is not a factor - 'til we approach the £170 mark I guess!

Any thoughts or recommendations?

Thanks

    Langdale lightweights in Nottingham, excellent rep.... Amazing set up.... £150 full blown measure up (half price if you buy the bike there)

    Hope this helps 8)

    If you can get to Milton Keynes, the John Dennis at Velomotion is excellent. Not cheap but the full Retul fit done by the guy who trains everyone else.

    I had mine done at Trisports in Letchworth for £100

    They use the Trek fitting by numbers system and it made a big difference to my fit and particularly my cleat alignment.


    If you want a really high quality professional fit I'd look at Retul fitters -> but i couldn't justify the extra cost.

    Look upon it as an investment, a good fitting is THE most important thing in cycling, oh and a saddle which suits your ar$e too ..

    The Specialised Bike shop in Ruislip did wonders for me

    Their 'BG' fit thing was great - it made the difference between being just about able to ride and riding 100 miles in comfort!
