  • I'm not really into this bike fitting stuff.

    Scenario 1: you're a newb; seems like a good idea when shelling out for a bike; you don't know any different; within a year of riding more, everything has changed.

    Scenario 2: you're experienced; looking for any performance/comfort improvement; you pay X so you believe philosophy X; within a year, your body has changed.

    Scenario 3: the weather fluctuates, the amount of time you spend on a bike fluctuates, your body fluctuates, your fit fluctuates.

    Scenario 4: free info everywhere; concentrate on form; listen to body; save money.

    Meh.

    You might be spot on.

    I find I make a lot of small adjustments to sadle, seatpost, stem bars etc, on a new bike until it is as comfortable as I can get it. I read about how various changes are meant to effect comfort etc, so I would hope my bike is about right and in reasonable setup, but when you read such revalatory stories of peoples experiences from places such as Cyclefit and the bike whisperer, one thinks there must be somthing in it. Hopefully it is not just people trying to justify the expense to themselves.

    I will therefore go into this with an open mind, and if I am unimpressed, I will openly admit to having wasted the money.
