"might"??? No, this is wrong. You will be buying new stems.

I got a BG fit several weeks ago and am a bit unhappy with it. There were some radical changes made, and I knew from the first ride after the fit that something was not quite right. My right knee now hurts to the point where even if I'm not riding, it hurts. The worst is that they have not given me the measurements, either pre or post. I'm going to stay on top of that and demand that they give them to me.

However, some good education has come out of it. As a result of the fit, they lowered the seat a bit and moved it forward. The tech said, (as confirmation to what others have said), that the seat position is set first, and is a constant for a body's measurements. Then the cockpit is set, which is more of a personal preference.

Some of my aches and pains have now been mitigated as a result of the fit; some are still there, but to a lesser degree; and a new pain has manifested itself, (the a fore mentioned right knee pain). I have a long charity ride scheduled this Saturday. They better fit me in on Friday.
