    Hi,

    Question, has anybody had a good bike fit in Limerick?

    Are Evolution Cycles any good? They seem to be the only ones advertising a good fitting service, I know all shops will do a quick fit on purchase but I'm looking for a bit more of a full proper fit that I can keep the data and use it on other bikes I have to try get similar setups etc

    I know Raw cycles do a fit too but not sure I think they just use a computer software style fit.

    Thanks

    I recommended The Bike Shop on O'Connell Street, opposite the pharmacy up that way.

    if you're looking for the measure your inseam, set your saddle height accordingly then i'm sure any of the shops above will work fine.

    if you're looking for a more performance based fit, then a trip to bikefit.ie up in oranmore is highly recommended. been up a couple of times, has the proper setup to allow tweaking on the fly on his setup and then transfers it back to your bike, meaning you can tweak the setup for best power/best pedal stroke.

    it's a different level of fit, might not be what you are looking for, but if it is James is one of the few i'd trust to get it right. i had a basic fit done out in Planet tri in killaloe before that and no complaints on that either.

    No but I'd be pretty confident that they know their stuff. Did you get a new bike?
