Had a bike fit yesterday, prior to ordering my new bike. Very thorough, took over 4 hours!
Ended up dropping my bars 10mm and raising my saddle 22mm. I can't believe I had my saddle that much lower than it should of been, but felt fine at the higher position and the watts seemed to go up.
Spent quite a while on the cleats, as my left knee seemed to be further forward than my right, and he thought I was twisted slightly on the bike. Ended up putting wedges under my insoles to correct it and adjusted the cleats slightly. Pedalling then felt much more "in a vertical plane" than before, and should make it more efficient.
Turns out I had the saddle set at 8 degrees, so once it was levelled off it felt more comfortable.
It will be while before the January weather allows me to try it out, but the whole process seemed very valuable and I would recommend it to anyone, even though I felt fine as it was before the fit.
Evidently my flexibility is good, even though I'm an old man, apart from my ankles. A little bit of Yoga seems to have helped...
Cheers,
Geoff
