Expert 882 Marietta, GA | Subject: RE: Bike Fitting I second the recommendation for Matt at the Sport Factory - he did my fit this year and did a great job. He'll also help you with the cleat position on your shoes as part of the fit process. |

Master 1888 Winder, GA | Subject: RE: Bike Fitting Thanks Meredith. I didn't even think to look at The Sport Factory's site first, duh! I expected a higher cost but $100/hour plus parts (what parts would you need?) seems like alot. I know Heather said her fitting took almost 2 hours, that's alot of money. Has anyone besides Heather had this done and noticed a big enough difference to justify the cost?? **Not trying to downplay your fitting Heather, I'm just asking for other opinions ;) Edited by autigers_1998 2006-12-04 10:36 AM |

Pro 3883 Woodstock,GA | Subject: RE: Bike Fitting The parts that you may or may not (probably not if your bike is the correct size) are a shorter or longer stem, spacers to bring up or lower your handlebars. Heather was an exceptional situation, not the norm. Matt did my fitting and it took about 45 minutes, it varies from bike to bike. |

Unfortunately, I didn't take them up on it until the season was over. Big mistake! They did a good set-up job by sight before the fitting. But when I finally got my fitting done, which took about an hour, I could tell a big difference on my first ride. My body position was shifted and allowed me to get more power out of my legs with less effort. The aero position is also more comfortable. The biggest adjustment was only 2 cm but made a huge difference. I definitely recommend getting fitted to your bike, even if it means spending $$! |

Expert 931 Smyrna, GA | Subject: RE: Bike Fitting Just got back from my appt w/ Matt at the Sport Factory. He did an awesome job! Turns out my bike was not exactly positioned correctly. It took right around 1 hour and I'd definitely recommend it. |
