"My Sports Medicine doctor recommended that I have my bike fitted. I
was training for the 2006 TransRockies Mountain Bike Race and was
having severe lower back pain. The problem was a compression fracture
at L1 restricting my flexibility in that area. As a result all shock
absorption was being taken by my lower back below L1. After training
rides, my low back was killing me and I was concerned that with 6 days
of riding and 40,000 feet of elevation gain in this race that I would
be doing irreversible damage to my back. Bike2Body worked to get my
bike in the most efficient position for mountain biking and made
adjustments to help compensate for the shock absorption problem in my
lower back. As aresult, I was able to do 8 hour training rides with
minimal pain. The bottom line is it worked and I would recommend
getting your road bike AND your mountain bike fitted for best results."
