As someone brand new to racing I have spent my first 6 months on the Balanced Team asking a million questions and learning as much as I possibly can about racing and riding. One thing that I have been shocked and amazed by was my new bike and Retul bike fit. This was not my first bike nor was it my first bike fit, but it was by far the best. From the start of the process Scott took the time to be sure I was buying the correct size bike. As someone who could have went with a larger frame the Retul process suggested I should step down a frame size so I did. The sightly smaller frame has allowed me to corner with more control and feel more comfortable on the bike on long rides. It took me about a month to adjust to the new fit after receiving the bike but then I was off to the races! After a few months Scott suggested I come back and have a re-fit to see how everything was going and how my body was adjusting to the new ride. A few saddle adjustments were made and I immediately noticed a big increase in power and ease of pedaling! I can’t wait to take the bike out again to the races and see what I can do. I never understood the importance of a “perfect bike fit” but I feel like I have one now.
