We\u2019ve all had it at some time, pain. And I don\u2019t mean the sweet pain of going full gas, I mean the niggling, sometimes agonizing pain of a poor fit or misalignment.<\/p>\n

Usually new cyclists are the most vulnerable, as they tend to go looking for a bike and either buy it used, regardless of size, or who buy their bikes from a clueless shop assistant who just wants to make a sale.<\/p>\n

I bought my first bike from a very reputable local bike shop. The only adjustment they made was the seat height, but the bars were too narrow, the stem was too long, and due to the slightly awkward reach, my back and shoulders hurt. I just thought that was normal.<\/p>\n

Bicycle Racing Poster<\/h3>\r\n

\"Bicycle<\/a>Off the Front<\/a> - beautiful cycling poster on wooden panel. This is a unique work of art, with an original graphic design,\u00a0 printed on superior quality birch wood. Choose from 10 sizes and create a statement piece that\u2019s perfect for your office or your home. Ready to stand, or hang.<\/p>\r\n<\/div>\n

It was a year later that I was fortunate to meet pro mechanic who ran a bike shop who measured and fitted me to a new bike\u2026. and suddenly I was one with the machine and my cycling experience was completely transformed. Cycling became painless and a pleasure.<\/p>\n

My go-to guy won\u2019t sell you a bike until after he\u2019s measured you. Then he\u2019ll recommend a make and model based on your measurements and your style of riding. Then he\u2019ll fit you on your new bike on a raised trainer and tweak everything while you ride. He\u2019ll shim your shoes if you need it. The bike will be truly yours, it will fit like a glove.<\/p>\n

Never underestimate the power of a good fit. It can optimize your power output, your aerodynamics and your comfort.<\/p>\n

If things don\u2019t feel quite right on your bike, I recommend getting fitted by a pro. But sometimes you can tweak just one thing on your bike and eliminate that nagging pain or discomfort. This guide shows you what to look for.<\/p>\n
