“Good afternoon, almost month ago I visited your shop for a bike fit. I have been served by Dave he did an amazing job with just perfect fit! I wanted to test my bike few times before I send reply, plus I had a big race last weekend (70.3 Ironman Cork) which went well. The bike fit was just perfect. No uncomfortable position, no more numb feet or achy back. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shoe & Cleat Adjustment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Make sure that your shoe cleats are set up correctly<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A good cycling position starts with the correct positioning of the feet on the pedals and it is therefore extremely important that the cleats are properly adjusted so that the feet can move around the pedals in the most natural, efficient and comfortable way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When purchasing new shoes or replacing your cleats, it is therefore very important that the cleats are properly adjusted so that your foot is not too far forward or backward on the pedal and your foot is not forced into an unnatural position while cycling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
