I had a pro fit and am glad I did. I often had hand numbing on longer rides and thought it was just part of the game. A shake here or there to wake them back up and I was good to go. After my fit that element disappeared.

+ 1 on gloves I never ride without them

I would pay for a good fit and research all the fitters in the area. I spent some time choosing and was glad I did.

This is whom I used

The fit was one of the best investments I have ever made
