Bike fit - Anyone had one?

[PaulSecteur]

Im thinking about having a bike fit as I want to up the mileage and make sure Im not doing myself any damage. I dont feel uncomfortable on the bike, and I dont get any aches and pains. I dont usually get to do mor than 20 to 30 miles at a time, so when I do a longer ride I can feel that I have done more work, but as I said not really aches or pains.

The 2 I have been considering are the BG Fit at the specialized concept store in Brum, or Bikedynamics ( http://www.bikedynamics.co.uk/contactUs.htm ).

So, anyone used either of these or someone similar adn what was your thoughts on it? Worth the money, waste of cash? Any improvements in comfort?

EDIT: Cadence sport get good reviews and are a contender too http://www.cadencesport.co.uk/

I had a bg bike fit for my venge and I was never aware that the feeling of a bike could change so much by changing so little. By no means was my bike ever unconfortable but after my bike fit it felt so under me it was unreal. I would never buy another bike without getting one now.

Lots of guys have had a cadence fit at our club and reckon they can feel the difference although you can get there yoursself, it might just take longer to get your optimal fit .

Please do report back, im very interested in hearing what you think, especially about if you think its value for moneyand the shoe inserts.

This thread should have a new name because I keep reading it wrong.

"Bike fit - is anyone?"

Me too for the feedback. Someone at work is trying to get a group booking for a few of us, but i'm wary as it will still be over £100 for the fit.

Best money I have ever spent in 50 years of cycling was at Cadence Sport. I have spent all of my cycling years making adjustments, tweaking here and there and never once have I felt as good as I do on my bike now. Adrian stretched me out, lowered me down, leveled the feet, made and fitted the custom foot pads and I felt all the benefits straight away.

I should add that I have posted many times on many forums over the years about a pain in the outside of my foot, well I have been to Physios, Osteopaths, Chiropractors, Doctors, Surgeons, Consultants and even the GB cycling team Osteopath. I Have spent a thousand pound ++++ trying to sort the problem, Adrian has fixed it in one visit.

I am now lining up to go over again this time for the MTB and will certainly use him for any new bikes that join the stable.
