Why isn't there a thread for Bike Fit
How about a thread for bike fit? You know, an area to ask about fitting, sizing, geometry, ailments from poor fit and how to correct. Maybe I just missed it and it's tucked in there somewhere. But, if not, how about starting one?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

Thanks for the reply and for illustrating my point. You've got fit advice in "Road Cycling", "Bike Maintenance", and "Single Speed & Fixed Gear" just in the links/threads you provided. Perhaps I should've called it a "Main subject" or folder. It would just be nice to have all the fit information in one place as well as have a 'home' for bike fitters to pontificate on their craft. I know I could sure use some help, if more peoples' bikes fit them properly, they'd enjoy cycling more and probably do more of it.

But different bikes for different applications will have/warrant a different fit. Makes sense for the fitting to stay in subforums. I wouldn't want a person who usually fits road bikes to be giving me advice on a mountain bike fit, etc.
