fit

I admit that what I know about setting up a bike correctly can be written on the back of a postage stamp. But even allowing for this level of incompetence and ignorance I'm amazed at how many adjustments were required when I took my bike for a bike fit today. Cleats - Tick Saddle height - Tick...

The bike fit phenomenon continues to intrigue and frustrate me in equal measure!! So I have done about 100 miles on my beloved Felt F95 having not ridden a road bike before and after watching 100s of you tube videos, reading 1000s of articles and trawling through our wonderful forum, this is the...

Son has a Kona Kahuna with Magura hydraulic rim brakes but he's not happy with them, we've bled them, fitted new pads, adjusted but still not happy, he just doesn't like the feel of them, so I wondered as the frame can accept calipers can the hubs, I think there is enough space on the back but...

Anyone else here have solar, or even wind, biomass, etc? I've a full 5kW installation, and being exactly South facing on a single side of a bungalow roof it's a nice little earner indeed. However, my energy supplier is taking long and longer each time to post the payments. It started out as...

My giant TCR needs new bearings for the BB. Would I be correct in saying Shimano BB-RS500 press fit is fitted in to BB86 bikes. Would I also be correct in saying replacement bearings need to be 37x24x7 thanks Dennis

I know this can be a bit subjective but has anybody used this guy to do a bike fit in the Lincolnshire area http://www.powerupbikefitting.co.uk I have been riding for a few months now and can not get rid of numb fingers in both hands after 45 minutes to an hour on the bike, I have raised /...

Basic question - If I get a QR lever, can it fit on to a bike which previously only had bolts to tighten it? Thanks

Hi, i,m out on tour and 1 ride did not load to strava. How can I get it onto strava via fit file tools, it has an incorrect timestamp, done it before from home, on pc. Though as i,m nowhere near or likely to be near a pc how can I do it? Anyone?

So my bike bell that fits my hybrid doesn't fit my new road bike, :sad: I was just trying it on for a size guide, but I want to order a new bell that will fit my "Giant" road bike any recommendations for anywhere that might do ones with slightly larger brackets? x

So I've turned 40, and as with a lot of males, the stomach is trying to grow. I always had a bit of a bulge to be fair: I'm generally slim but my body does like to store fat all in one place. Now, I'd like to keep The Bulge to a minimum, but I'm at a bit of a loss with the current situation: I...

hi i'm looking to build a bike around the new ultegra R8000 11speed will i be able to fit it to any newish frame i will likely buy a used frame, maybe something like a cannondale synapse anything i need to be wary of? thanks

Has anyone opted for a bike fit from a shop,Dolan do a fit called CRM body scanning £40,The Bike Factory in Chester do a Retül Pro Fit £125 and Sail and Ski in Chester do a Total Tri Fit £99. I have seen reviews but they are only from the companies mentioned, they are selling it so obviously its...

Got quite a nice set up on my winter bike and now about to dig out my best bike. Want to make my best bike fit like my other one but frames are quite different - one has a straight top tube, the other quite curved - so comparative measurements pretty tricky. I'm now working on the basis that if...

I have had this problem recently with btwin shorts and Nalini shorts and I am trying to work out what causes it , its about half way down the short leg on the inner thigh that appears after only a handful of rides Is it a case of cheap shorts or is my set up wrong with regards saddle height/...

Morning, Not exactly a cycling expert - I have a B'Twin Triban 500 SE (because it was cheap) that I kept at work and rode with the company cycling club on lunch times. My longest ride to date has been around 20 miles, climbs just under 1,000ft, averaging anything from 15-18mph depending on the...

For any crocked (SW) London cyclists out there in need of a physio-led bike fit, Wimbledon physio have a third off their bike assessment in the Christmas deals. Vouchers valid for a year Had one done earlier in the year, well worth the outlay for me :smile...

Just had a bike done at AlfJones Bikes. Cost: £65 Can't go out to try it out yet as it is raining but Tim ( the bike fitter) upped my saddle by at least 2", moved it forward a bit, checked it was level and slightly changed the position of my cleats .I hope it is money well spent and hoping to...

Hi, I am looking for some fit pointers. Totally new to the aero position so sure I will have a number of mistakes. Thanks.

After the kids visit yesterday,i noticed my daughter in law had trimmed up nicely after giving birth 10 weeks ago. They both have with the step son losing 10 lbs and she's lost a stone in a month. There using FitBit calorie counter app. There setting the daily calls at 1750 which is low but...

I have three bikes, road, flat bar and fixie - and two guest bikes (keeping whilst someone goes through a gruesome divorce: two beasts, a 61cm road and a 27.5er). I also have a tiny shed. I am throwing towels over the bikes, and have stuck chainstay protectors on a fork here and there, and...

I want to save all the stuff from my knackered phone. Will this card https://mobymemory.com/uk/2gb-micro-sd-memory-card-tf?utm_source=google_shopping&gclid=Cj0KCQjw1a3KBRCYARIsABNRnxsDUuNLJrq-E7xxfvma87CxfzzA9wBvb-6THQ3_9t5ylJbqAQHtaKUaAuqFEALw_wcB go into this phone...

My handle bar stem is way too long so before buying another I thought I would research current thinking on stem size. I found potentially the most convenient and easy to carry out... sit on bike look down to the front axle, if the handle bars are not in the way, not good. So if the axle is...

Struggling to find the time to fit in the long rides which I should be doing by now. I'm doing 150 miles a week on a mountain bike with semi slicks mix of on or off road. And I go to the gym for about 3 hours a week, mix of cardio and swimming. The actual ride is on road, on a road bike...

Nothing new, of course, and nothing that we didn't already know, but my experience this week has really brought it home to me the big difference small adjustments can make. I built up a touring bike on a Raleigh Royal 531 frame last year and I set the geometry as close as I could get to my old...

This cycle rack at Wilkos is of interest to me, but I don't think it will fit my bike. My bike has no lugs at the bottom of the frame. What do you think?

Hi there One of my friends is going to buy his first bike (well his first bike since a child) and he is looking at this one: https://www.decathlon.co.uk/riverside-500-hybrid-bike-dark-grey-id_8379020.html I've advised him to purchase Schwalbe Marathon Plus tyres (I swear by them!) - is it...
