Bike fitting

[tprevost]

I took both of my bikes over to Velogirl to get fitted and she made some adjustments that made a huge difference. It wasn't cheap but worth every penny to have avoided the overuse problems that would have likely occurred if I hadn't had it done. (they were already starting, just not horrible )

didn't read thru all the replies.. But, I would ask if they are certified. I wouldn't pay any amount for anyone who is not.
And second, just because they say they have some high tech video system does not mean that it's all that.
A good friend spent 300 clams years ago at a high end shop. All they did was set the video camera and computer up to record him riding. The computer then spit out measurements, they changed his bike and went on his way.
Over the years he went back a couple of times because he never felt like he was getting max power.
After a frame warranty/swap issues he made some changes himself that ended up causing a nasty ITB injury. He decided to try our FIST certified fitter, and low and behold, he has been PR'ing races left and right! He was amazed because he finally has the power he knew he was missing.
And she does everything manually.
Video analysis is nice, and is helpful to a certain extent. But any industry vet will tell you the best thing is the dog and pony show that it creates. It shouldn't be used exclusively.

Zia, another way to locate a physio that does fittings, is to post a query on a local cycling or tri site.

I found the physio that does bike fitting through my physio.
