Bike fit / correct riding position

Had a test ride on a caad 10 today. Reach was good but the front end felt very low even with all the spacers. I felt pressure on my palms and I'm not sure if I had the 60:40 weight distribution. How low is too low?

Could be saddle may not be flat/nose up or set back a bit.

Saddle felt quite far back. Would that push my weight forward? Im tempted to buy it and just work on flexibility and lose some of the spacers over time

If it felt quite far back, in that case worth just moving it a bit forward and levelling it to see how it feel.

Cool, thanks. Assuming reach felt good should I just buy it and get used to it or find something with a higher stack. I didn't feel any pain as such, but I'm not used to riding in such a low position.

Someone on a ride yesterday accused me of doing Froome elbows. I wonder if this might be because my bars are too narrow? Internet bike fitters please.

Ha! Tell them they have Valverde hair and move on.

Or Bardet teeth.

Armstrong morals.

You listen to some cork nugget telling you your bar is too narrow?

Evans voice.

Was this a sly way of accusing you of doping?

glass of piss or gobful of spit to the face is how to accuse someone of doping

That counts as foreplay around here.

It was my assumption.

Going back to the GCN how to measure your bike vid with Simon Richardson, is anyone else on here thinking 'phwooooar' or is it just me? Peter Crouch and Robert Gesink have a similar effect on me, sorry guys...

Looking for a good fit on a CX bike for trail riding and touring. This seemed to feel nice after a quick test ride but looks crazy small. Does this look crazy small?

Looks 'nimble' for the technical parts, but on the long finish straights you'll might struggle getting low and fast.

Cheers. There's probably not going to be any racing ever, but we will hit some local trails on some casual rides. Also some touring so comfort is key.

Just reluctant to buy it because it looks like it might be too small.

Right, no more fucking about: ima get a bike fit done. Discussed endlessly on here I'm sure, but looking to get the 'best value' fit in London. From what I've read that might be a Retul session with someone at Cadence in Crystal Palace. Opinions? Is there a particular fitter to recommend? Or somewhere else? £150 is the most I can countenance spending on this...

After months of using the main bikes I had in London, I finally used the Cannondale for 21 miles around Wiltshire, and within miles I had back ache and hand numbness/pain. Damn I need that thing sorted out.

You get what you pay for. An experienced fitter will be better than someone just crunching numbers on retul.

A name then, please, bearing in mind my budget.
