Hello, does anybody know of where I can get a decent bike fitting? I bought my bike from Certini Saltash so that seems the obvious choice, but I was just curious if there is anywhere else that is recommended? I'm recently new to cycling and I'm getting quite a bit of knee pain at the moment, so I've narrowed it down to either a bike that needs adjusting slightly or I'm grinding in the wrong gear as I don't want to use the granny ring haha.

Regards

    hi

    Certini may be a good choice but may also be expensive

    Call Paul Hooper at Ride bike fitting. He was very good for me. Had pains in my left knee, lower back and big toe numbness. All but gone now and now im cycling even longer distances in comfort!

    Cant remember prices but worth a call

    Certini in Saltash. They're not that expensive and do a great job.

    Union Street, now that brings back memories from my uni days :shock:

    Does Colin Lewis Cycles in Paignton do bike fitting? If I eventually get the cash together for a new bike I might get it there.
