“A friend and I had talked about having a proper bike fitting for ages,
so we spoke to Garth who agreed to perform our fittings at my home in SW
London. Garth arrived promptly at my home and then spent some time setting
up his equipment. Over coffee he explained the RETUL bike fitting process,
and then we went about fitting my trail bike onto his training roller.
Firstly a strength and flexibility evaluation was carried out, after numerous
injuries in the last few years, I was very pleased to do well in these. The
dimensions of my bike were measured at various points and entered into the
computer. A lot of time was spent carefully positioning the reference point
sensors onto my body, and then we were ready to go. I cycled at
varied speeds and intensities on Garth’s instruction, to enable him to
capture the data he needed to run some of the RETUL software.

During analysis we could see a stick man simulation of my pedaling motion and body position, and that it was pretty straight and there were no major inherent problems. However, my bike positioning needed tweaking, and this could have been something that was causing my sore neck after long rides. A few minor adjustments including seat fore/aft, angle & height adjustment and we were ready to go for further data acquisition. We re-ran some of the bike roller exercises and plugged that back into the computer software. My bike fitting was all complete and I was given a report that gave my results and my optimum bike sizing and geometry. As I was just about to build a new bike this was really helpful information.

Garth was ever professional in his performance of the bike fittings, and
was very helpful and informative along the way. If you are thinking of
having a bike fitting, I certainly recommend him as a “fitter” and the
RETUL system as the best tool for this”

Happy Cycling !!!

P. Masranip:
Just to let you know that since you made that minor adjustment to my saddle position I have not had any of the aches and pains that I was complaining of before.
It has not helped with my fitness but at least now no pain.
I was not expecting it to have done that much but feel much more comfortable on my bike.
Thanks loads for your help.

I was out on the MTB yesterday and felt the difference on the hills more power and felt better, feel a bit more "up" on the bike but I think this will change once I get that core sorted and muscles back to a near norm so I can drop the front back down.
