I bought my Trek MTB from my local bike shop here in town, since has closed. When I got the bike, they never fit me properly to the bike. I have been having problems road riding all along, but until I got clip in pedals I never really paid attention to it. Now, today at my new bike shop the owner did a overall fit for me and my bike. Oh boy has that solved alot of problems overall. I did not realize I was riding with a seat almost 2 inches to low, and he rolled my bars up, adjusted my brake/shifters down so I am not fighting my body position my entire ride. Today was such a massive improvement, totally changed how I ride, my position and cadence, and comfort level with the clip ins is so much better. Even in the 20 knot winds I was much more stable. I did not feel any pain in my left thigh at all and hands are not going numb. I am finally using all my leg muscles. I love my new bike shop!

KAR328 - That's great that you've bumped up your RMR so much!! :drinker:
ANACONDA469 - Makes a WORLD of difference when the bike is adjusted correctly, doesn't it!! Seat height is SO important and most people don't have theirs dialed in right. Most have them too low because they don't want to be so high off the ground or want to still be able to touch the ground. That's wrong. The seat should be high enough that you're *this close* to locking your knees out when your foot is at the bottom of the pedal circle, but not quite. This 'straightening' of the leg helps SO much and reduces the 'burn' felt in the muscles during hard pedaling. Glad you feel better and safer on your bike! :flowerforyou:0 -

There is nothing quite like a great local bike shop. They can make riding so much better and more fun.
