Help with fitting

[westtexas]

I would simply ask the staff 1) where they were trained in fitting and 2) can they show you a basic breakdown of the process.

When I got my fitting done, he had a logbook where he kept all my records so we always know where the "start" is that he made notes in the entire time. Other than just putting me on the bike and playing around with the string and pendulum thing, he measured my hip flexors and shoulder and all other various body parts off the bike. He was sent by the shop we have here to go learn how to fit professionally as well at one of the various schools out there. I was extremely satisfied with the thoroughness.

You could always do it yourself as well:

A walkthrough that has been posted here before.

EDIT: sorry for the rambling sentence structure. I don't have time to fix it at the moment but I promise I'm usually more coherent.

Another thought, and I must say I AM SO NOT AN EXPERT. I have horrible achilles tendon issues brought on from backpacking and getting older and favoring a bad knee. I have changed my pedals to Shimano A530 platforms. On a long ride I will often clip out, flip my pedal over and ride a ways unclipped to allow my feet and knees the opportunity to move around. Another suggestion is to trade out your pedals to a platform, do some riding and see if that helps. Perhaps even going so far as to chalk the bottom of your shoe, go for a ride and see where the natural position is for your right foot. I know that sounds a bit corny but I totally get the frustrations of not feeling right on the bike.
