This fall I purchased a new bike and with the help of this site and Tom D's I feel I have done a great job fitting myself on the bike. I have changed the seat post to Thomson 0 setback changed the stem length and taken spacers in and out numerous times. I've taken pictures, drawn lines, measured angles and spent time riding on the rollers to establish my level of comfort. I'm not sure how comfortable I should be as I've been away from riding for 3 years. I live in northern Ontario and hopefully can get on the road within a month.
My question? Can we effectively fit ourselves on a bike or do we need a professional? I love to research anything and enjoy this process. I know it will be rewarding if I can ride comfortably on the areo bars for 3-4 hours with a bike I have set up myself. I have seen pros in magazines that look anything but properly fit and seem to have great results. Are they missing their true potential?
It's a Good life if you don't Weaken!
