Can somebody recommend a decent place to get a bike fitted in the Raleigh area?
I bought a road bike about 6 weeks ago and I really like it, but I think it needs fitting, because the fingers in my right start tingling about 30 minutes into every ride (we won't talk about my crotch)
 
From what I have read it has to with bike fitting. Probably a total beginners question, so feel free to take a shot at me :-).

Where did you buy the bike?  If you bought it from a bike shop then they should fit it for you.  If not, then I would talk to Jon Wallace at TrySports in the Crabtree mall.  785-2824

Does Mike do road bike fittings, or just tri bike fittings? He does do a great job with the tri bike fits using the FIST system (tri specific bike fitting system).

I bought the bike at REI at North Hills. They didn't do  a bike fitting, which is I am asking for references. Probably should have asked for a fitting, but that's a whole different story (live and learn).

Carol:

I just spoke with Mike and YES he does fit road bikes too.

You might call the bike shop at REI and ask them about a fitting. They may give you one for free. Their bike shop guys are usually really super. AT least at the South Point (durham) store.
