My husband and I hadn’t done any road cycling previously and had little knowledge on the subject . We contacted Drew when we were in the process of purchasing our bikes from Planet X. Drew was very helpful and provided us with support and advice on specifying frame sizes and components. We had received a mixture of advice from various retailers that all seemed to contradict each other, so having recommendations from someone with Drew’s experience gave us the confidence we were finally making informed decisions.
When we got our bikes, Drew came to our home and we both had a bike fit to get us set up correctly from the outset.
After building our confidence on the roads over the period of a few months, we contacted Drew again and asked him to supply us with clip-less pedals, which he came and fitted to our bikes. The feeling of being more connected to the bike is great, and I’m certain will make a difference to our performance.
From the outset I had been experiencing some issues with my “undercarriage” and again sought some advice from Drew, who suggested a few alterations to my saddle position. However, after several adjustments, it became obvious that the saddle provided with my bike was not going to suit my anatomy. I did a bit of research and found some other women with the same issue as myself, and purchased a saddle that had worked for them. At first, all was great, my original soft tissue problem had been resolved, much to my relief. However, after several weeks of happy cycling, a new issue developed. I made some adjustments, then some more, and still couldn’t find the right position. When Drew was fitting us for pedals, we spoke again about the “new” saddle issues. I now know that the replacement saddle is still not the ideal one for me, however, Drew adjusted the position, and after an 83km cycle the following day, I only had minor discomfort and was able to enjoy the ride so much more.
I can highly recommend Drew for his experience, knowledge and helpful professional manner and would definitely use him again without hesitation.
