    Paul Hewitt in Leyland - not sure how much he charges as I was buying a bike and the fit is included in the price.
  • Mercury Coaching at Over Kellet. They have Retul.
    Used them for road and TT bike.
    01524735555

    Very happy with the results

    Richard Salisbury pretty good

    Paul Hewitt completely *********************** unless you are someone famous who used to have sideburns or are one of the local chaingang. If you are buying a bike I suppose you might get tolerated but it probably depends on the day

    +1

    I was fitted by Paul H. - he was lucky I was too dumb about any cycling related aspect to question anything. His fit was useless and it had been confirmed by Adrian Timmis. After the bike fit with Adrian I haven't changed a single millimeter on my bikes.

    Richard from pedalprecision sorted my knee injury out in a matter of a single session. He is a professional in what he does.

    I'm neither famous nor bugger chopped and was well looked after. If you want a chat about nothing in particular he's probable not the greatest, but, in my experience, he knows his stuff - I've loved the bike and how its set up. The set up was a big change from what I was used to, but I have been so pleased with it I've never wanted to change back in the three years since.

    Each to their own I suppose.
  • Cheers fellas I've a couple to go on thier!

    Another recommendation for Richard at Pedal Precision, really thorough, sorted a few adjustments to the bike and good advice re stretches that would help me avoid hamstring problems which I had previously suffered with.

    Well worth the investment - he knows his stuff.
    All the gear and no idea...
