What To Expect At A Fitting?

[Bethany1]

The fitting went great! The guy was super nice and explained a lot. My saddle needed the most work. He straightened it out/leveled it and adjusted the height. He took some measurements/angles and fiddled some more with the saddle.

He was surprised I had a 56cm men's Madone as most women fit into the WSD bikes. However; at 5'9" or 5'10 (not sure which one I am) I can go either way depending on comfort level of the bike.

He fixed my clippless pedals and showed how to get in/out of them w/o falling over or knocking the bike out from under me.

He said my form looked great and talked about to relax while riding so my neck and arms wouldn't hurt and stiffen up. He gave me some different positions for when I get tired which will really help.

He was so sweet and did my MTB as well. He raised my saddle by 3 inches, maybe 4 and it made a HUGE difference. It's funny how you think your saddle is high enough and have someone else raise it even higher. My MTB is a WSD 29er and he said it was a great fit.

It's nice to know that my LBS did fit me with the right size bikes as nothing needed changed out. (I used a different LBS for the fitting).

I highly reccomend a fitting after this. I can't believe some minor and major tweaking made such a difference!

I'm also borrowing a trainer for a couple of days since it's SO hot outside. If I like it, my LBS will order me one.

Oh..BTW the celexa is amazing. It finally kicked in about Wednesday and I'm not such a bear to be around.

You all have been SO helpful. I appreciate everyone's support.

I'm glad it went well! I bet you won't get as fatigued now that your saddles are at the proper height. Let us know if that's indeed the case.
