Bike Fitting Testimonials

Sarah Archdeacon | Time Trialist

Paul was extremely generous with his time and his personable approach put me at ease immediately. The bike fitting included video analysis of me on bike - it was great to see that my bike fit and position were actually good, but what Paul picked up on immediately was that I was not using the full pedal stroke. By moving the cleats on my cycling shoes and lowering my saddle slightly, he was able to put this right there and then. The combination of this, plus the footbed insole, has meant that the back pain and foot cramp I had been getting has completely gone - miracle work! Now I'm really looking forward to getting out there and doing some long day rides.

Andrew Lawrence | Adventure Cyclist

Having been inspired by a friend's London-Beijing ride in 2008 (where the sole purpose was to arrive in time for the Olympic Games) I decided I needed to put the running to one side for 12 months, buy a touring bike, panniers, get bike fit & book 3-weeks off work for my version of this epic challenge: LA to New York, solo, unsupported in less than 3 weeks.  Being far from a 'club rider' my knowledge was lacking when it came to my new bike set up.  With months of bitter winter riding in the bank & niggles here and there it was clear I needed an expert to help fit me 'perfectly' to the bike I'd be spending 16 hrs a day in the saddle of.  A contact at my local bike store recommended Paul, without a shadow of doubt, the best decision I made in the run up to the adventure.  The video analysis reworked my position on the bike, helped me feel more natural and relieved what had been unnecessary knee & arm fatigue.  Had it not been for Paul's expert equipment & rich knowledge there would have been little chance of making it from California to New York a day earlier than planned.  Don't hesitate, book your slot - you won't regret it
