    Its probably that people are still going through the lengthy process of centring google maps on Skipton and typing "bike fitting" into the "nearby" box. I left my cluster of supercomputers working on the problem and it just gave me the answer "42". See link below.

    Maybe if you changed the thread title you wouldn't get all the people who are interested in bike fits opening the thread but maybe only those interested in bike fits in Yorkshire.

    I think you induced them with the flouncy "158 hits and no responses" thing. If you would like a serious discussion about the merits of getting a bike fit and where to start, then the thread will be upto 10 pages before you can say "flounce".

    As a starter I'd ask why you think you want or need one. Then I'd suggest going to the sort of bike shop that sells the sort of bikes that might merit getting a bike fit. Take your current bike. At that point, you might find that the guys at the shop will be able to spot something badly wrong with your fit and help you fix it before buying a new bike. Once you've got the new bike, if you are still struggling to dial it in, get a bike fit. The people who sold you the bike will probably know someone.

    You may have to go more than 25 miles.

    There are many types of bike fit. What sort do you want? Do you want the "golum" one with motion capture and lots of impressive graphs? I wouldn't bother - it puts software ahead of experience. Or do you want a "dynamic one" that adjusts your position as you ride? Again, risk here is that it simply confirms what your muscles are currently adaped to do?

    So, is that enough of a smartarse anwer for you?

    As you know I live in North Yorkshire but a long way from you. Ashley at Northern ride in Malton would sort you out but there must be places a lot nearer to Skipton. Somewhere in Harrogate maybe.

    Try York Cycleworks , although I’ve never used them for a fit I have used them for parts and repairs and they were great.

    Stephen at Yorkshire Bike Fitting is great. I can definitely recommend him. Completely sorted my position out after a few botched attempts of my own. Cycled to my fitting with knee pain and have not had so much as a niggle since.
