Hello people! A quick question related to bike fitting. I’m currently pretty stiff and I’d like to increase my mobility. I’d also like to make a first pro bike fitting. My question is: should I increase my mobility before any bike fit (considering my lack of mobility workout, range of motion shoul…

You should always work on improving mobility as it will help with considerably more than just cycling. I would not work with a fitter that only offers a “one time” assessment. Working through iterations over time is best. This takes into account improved mobility, mechanics, etc

Mobility improvements take time and don’t happen overnight. If you are having serious issues with your current physical state & bike fit, doing a bike fit to alleviate that is worthwhile, IMO. You can revisit your bike fit if & when you change your physical state and the “new” bike fit in step 2 ab…

Would also recommend obtaining and saving detailed measurements from your fit with some annotations to ensure reproducibility, and if you’re willing, consider making small marks at key locations with metallic sharpie or something similar (saddle height/setback, bar position/rotation, etc) As your m…
