    fitting

    I had my fitting yesterday and got a new stem and handlebars (I had a straight bar). Also got the seat raised and leveled, and was encouraged to try clipless to increase efficiency, which I will likely do if I can find time to get to the bike shop before the weekend.
    Went for a 30+mile ride this morning. The new positioning is taking a little getting used to, but the fingers felt good after the ride! Looking forward to some more time on the bike before my event next week to get the muscles adjusted to the slightly different position.
    Michael was terrific - so knowledgeable and confident that he could help improve my bike for me, but not at all condescending or conceited. He spent quite a bit of extra time 'playing' around with different handlebar arrangements to make the bike fit me as best as it could. I was very impressed with him. He also said he works with some PT's so now I have a resource for PT's that know about cycling, should I need to follow up further. Thank you again, TE women, for all your help and encouragement!

    Michael Sylvester is great. I admire him and his approach to fitting. He's one of the most subtle and realistic functional fitters I've met.

    If you have any problems at all, please go back to him. He will work with you until it is right!
