Give Paul at Elite a call. [url]http://www.elitecycling.co.uk/dynamic-bike-fitting.html[/url]. Bike fit is all about the person doing it and their knowledge and ability. Paul is a top bloke and knows his onions. Apart from the bike fit just chatting while it's done and you'll learn a lot.
I've had a couple of bike fits from Cyclefit, admittedly its was about 7/8 years ago. I wasn't overly impressed but I'm sure they're better now. Now, the best cycle fit guy in the world is [url=https://www.stevehoggbikefitting.com/]Steve Hogg[/url] and he trained up this Scherrit Knoesen (The Bike Whispere) and he did a great job for me earlier this year. Its gona be expensive but he is so thorough I think its worth it. His website -The Bike Whisperer Website is down. Their set up is in Ealing (West London) and here's their number -0208-998-7271 enquiries@thebikewhisperer.co.uk Good Luck PS Mo, are you still riding? Its been a while since you posted
@Toks - still riding, not racing. Feel there's something not right with my position which has been irritating me for some while now...so will get a bike fit and then start training in that position. Having said that -feeling fit but I'm going to 'chill out' for the next couple of years
Saw recommendations for Ealing-based 'bike whisperer' on bikeradar thread too - considering them...

Are you for real? Why? [quote="Mohammad L"] What's happening with the Watts Toks? 300?
Once winter training begins in November I will let you know. I have no idea what my threshold is now.
my definition of 'chill out' (hence inverted commas) = do less hours training per week/ increase proportion of high intensity (zone 4-7) /abandon v. long (>5hrs /90mi+) solo rides /
In short - train smarter. I don't intend to abandon 'racing' scene - in fact might drift from tt to rr - maybe next season?
Currently working every Sat so can't come and play with TG. I long miss that 'feeling of death' trying to hang onto TG wheels. Probably October I'll have my shift pattern rearranged so I can pop down to css.

Thank God for that!! I think it was former pro rider and Eurosport Cycling Pundit Daniel Lloyd who said once e he got himself a power meter he you rarely need to ride longer than 3 hours
Just been to Cadence Performance in Crystal Palace for a simple saddle fit as I'm after a new saddle and seat post.
Got there only to realise that they had no knowledge that I was coming despite me booking in. This was a precursor to a full fit. Needless to say they won't be getting any more custom from me.
