Does anyone have any recommendations for a good place to go to have someone take a look at your bike set up, and advise? Just don’t feel quite right on the bike at the moment and can’t be sure what it is.

a mate used these guy’s for his road bike and said they were good

Thanks Tod, bloody expensive, wish I hadn’t already put my Christmas order in. Maybe a birthday gift in May.

I was recommended somewhere near Southampton by Mulletus of this parish. Can’t remember the name but will try and find it.

Edit: pretty certain it’s the place mentioned by tod.

i used these guys in southampton. really pleased with the service.

Thanks all, couple to be looking at just 20 mins up the road 🙂

Pedal On in Tadley (think that’s Hampshire) has had good reviews – a friend did the same search. Velocity Bikes in Cosham used to do it. No idea how good they are though

Had mine done by James at Rock N Road.

Hi C_G. Yep, it was indeed Garth at Vankru. I’d highly recommend a Retul fit to anyone especially if done by Garth. He’s a very nice person and doesn’t rush you through. I was there for nearly 5 hours and enjoyed every second of it. Worth every penny IMO.

Mountaintrax in Barkham and Pedal Heaven in Fleet both do bike fit.

I went to James at Rock’n’Road. No fancy digital tracking but they do have a fully adjustable rig. No massive changes to position but enough to sort out some specific issues, and a good discussion about the biomechanics of pedalling which was really helpful.

Getting a Retul fit is intriguing though …

Retul by Garth. Cleats now full back , saddle down 2cm + forward. Shorter stem. Now much more compact and in the middle of the bike. Much better for climbing and for power. Quite a radical change and took a few rides to get used to using muscles in a different way. Recommended!

James at Rock and Road here as well just great, bike feels so good now, plus great info on technique etc.

Umm, can I plug myself!?? slap me if I cant..

Although not in Hampshire, but Newbury (close!) we do bikefitting .. no jig, no mirrors, no smoke, no cameras, & no realllly long words. We have solved every issue with every rider, no problem. Have been trained and worked with cyfac.fr, & had extensive experience with a widely used(sales tool..) fitting system.
Done with instinct and eyeballs! 🙂
£50. With a free re-assessment.

Hi shameless plug as well!
