I used to adjust my gears myself but this takes me 4 times a long and it is nowhere near as good as how they adjust.
Staff are always helpful and keen to advise on products.
I can't recommend these guys and girl enough, very friendly and they really know what they're doing.
Here's my story
I purchased my bike from Elmy cycles several years ago and have covered many miles on it but I never felt quite rite and didn't feel like I could ride as far as I wanted to due to either a painful bum or painful knees, so I decided to take the plunge and have a bike fit done by Steve.
After Steve had grilled me to find out about my riding style and physical condition he set to work watching me on the turbo trainer, he then did some magical maths and set about my bike making small adjustments here and there fully explaining what he was doing and more importantly why.
This was all done without the use of any fancy computers or equipment, just a tape measure, note pad and a massive amount of experience and knowledge.
I went out yesterday and did my usual route.... WOW! what a difference, I felt like I could push harder up hills with less effort, for the first time I felt comfortable to ride for long periods on the drops, my backside after 45 miles still felt like it could do another 45 and NO knee pain!
I smashed 29 personal records on Strava and it upped my avg speed to boot!
Well worth the money and time it took as cycling should be a pleasure not a punishment and this has certainly turned my cycling around and made it much more pleasurable.
I just want to thank Steve, Jo and the team for being so helpful :-)
Keep up the good work
