"I have never experienced knee pain in the past, after a fitting session and cleat adjustment at Cronometro in Madison, WI my knees were pain free in 2012. I have been cycling for many years, but took several years off and I think most of the issue…"

"I don't think there's anything wrong with your fit or your fitter. It's only possible to glean so much from a few words on a blog post. So I could easily be wrong. What I get from the original post is that you ride hard and ride a…"

"Wheel Werks in Crystal Lake is a heck of a shop, and the fit whiz/owner out there, Bob Olsen, comes highly recommended. "

"Yes, Velosmith is in Wilmette. And while shops might focus on specific types of customers and bikes, good fitters work with basic principles of bicycle geometry, human physiology, and their interaction. We are not talking about physical therapy or…"

"A proper fitting will take into account several measurements to ensure you have the right size bike, stem length, seat post height, seat position forward and back. Ensure you have proper bend in your knee and that the ball of your foot is over the…"

David P. replied to Christian Munoz's discussion 'Best Bike-fitting in Chicago?'
"Milkbar, What type of fittings does Tony typically do? Or you, for that matter. I ask because, for instance, if I wanted a fitting (and I've thought about it for a long time) I'd want one for a comfortable-to-ride-all-day fit rather than…"

"I did not see a Doctor. Before going to see Cronometro in Madison, I was going on rides and the next day I had pain that made it difficult to walk up and down stairs and walk in general. In early season I spin and take it easy as I build a base of…"

"Hey, not sure who told you that your knees are "healthy" or how they came to that conclusion, but just because there is no ligament or obvious cartilage damage, doesn't mean they won't hurt. It could be a fit issue, but even with…"

"You betcha. 4 years ago I was to the point that I could not stand for more than 20 minutes, walk more than a half-mile or run more than a quarter-block without intense back pain. My doctor wrote me a prescription to go to Athletico. They taught me…"

"I have to agree with Craig, and add a bit. I have also had chronic knee pain for 20 years. It is gone now.  I have had flexibility issues and became tighter and tighter. My lower back pulled my glutes, I had tightness in the sides of…"

"I am a fitter myself and yet without reservation can tell you that Tony Bustamante at Velosmith is the most capable in our region, and in fact the entire country. "
