Regular  122  Canton, TX |  Subject: Bike FitterI am looking at getting a new (first) tri bike. I want to get properly sized before I go looking for a bike and get my mind set on one brand or another that my not fit me. My question is does anyone know of a good fitter in the Dallas, Tyler or even Houston area? I have done some goggle searching but hate to just pick a name out of a hat so to speak. Pretty much all the websites I go to look good but that does not mean the person doing the sizing is good just his web designer. Any help would be appreciated.

Expert 1608 Grapevine, Texas | Subject: RE: Bike Fitter Bud Zarsk, the owner of the bike shop I go to has a very good reputation in the tri community. It's Knobbies & Slicks in Colleyville. Here is a link to his latest blog on the subject. http://knobbiesandslicks.blogspot.com/ They have been very good to me as a total novice in terms of bike fit (on my Craigslist special), service, shoes, and helping me to learn. So I can recommend them as nice folks as well. Edited by squirt 2011-11-10 4:17 PM |

It's almost like a medical exam (in a good way). Super job. Highly recommend. Cynthia has fitted me on two different bikes. I'll second TJ's recommendation. She was great! |

Anyone know what he charges? I go to East Texas every couple months for business, could definitely work this into the schedule |
