after last weekend’s experience of discomfort and greater than usual fatique increasing with the miles, I took my bike in for a fitting this afternoon, and a couple of small adjustments might make a big difference.
For one, the seats saddles on these modern bikes are adjustable in ways I never knew, so Leif, the expert at Gregg’s at Greenlake, fixed me up there. The handlebars are now a little closer to me, thanks to a new fitting (the name of which I’ll get wrong, so I’ll leave it out).
And I also got some posture pointers that will be the most helpful.
We’ll see how we go this weekend. I’m eager to find out.
While I was actually a pretty good fit for an off the shelf 58 cm road bike, I think fitting is a must and would do it for any bike I expected to spend a lot of time on.
