Bike fitting Cambridge

damov2

If anyone is thinking of getting themselves fitted properly in the near future and your close to Cambridge then I can highly recommend Tim Williams from http://www.perfectcondition.ltd.uk.

Over the weeks I had been increasing my mileage by around 5 miles each weekend and interval training during the week, then a couple of weeks ago I managed to pull my hamstring and the doc told me to stay of the bike for at least 7 days. I eased into riding the bike over last week but had decided to get a bike fit to minimise the risk of injury due to poor fit. I went to see Tim on thursday for the fitting which was a pleasant experience, I needed a longer stem so all in all it cost me £95.00 total.

I got back on the bike friday morning for some intervals and noticed a massive difference in comfort but had to cut short the ride due to other commitments. So today I decided to try and get back where I was on the bike a couple of weeks ago and planned a ride around 75km, but I was feeling so good at around 70km I decided to plough on and managed to get to 95km http://app.strava.com/activities/41221701.

So from my experience well worth the money!

95 quid with a new stem? My local bike shop are charging 200 quid just for a fitting (it's A BG Fit if that makes a difference)

From what I've gathered the BG fit is one of the dynamic motion capture type fits like Retul?

£100 for a standard 'measure the angles, adjust the cleats on feel, and watch them on the turbo' type fit is in the right ballpark.

Sounds about right for the money.

Glad to hear that it made a good difference to your comfort when riding, plus well done on the distance covered always nice when you do a good ride, even better when you realise it was a bit of an epic in distance.

Heard mixed reviews of his fitting service. Two bad and one good so far. He always seems to spec a longer stem which is ok if you don't mind feeling more stretched on the bike. Personally I would rather tinker with the fit myself until it feels right for me, not just what someone says is right.

So from my experience well worth the money!
