Lee Prescott’s top tips

Don’t neglect the importance of your shoe set-up. Stand on your insoles to check your shoes are the right size and your insoles actually contact your arch evenly and offer some support. Get the right bar width to help prevent shoulder, neck and hand pain. The bars should be shoulder-width apart, so your arms run parallel, with straight wrists. Your fitter’s experience matters just as much as their equipment.“i had a Retul bike-fit,” doesn’t in itself mean very much. If in doubt, go to the International Bike Fit Institute website: ibfi-certification.com
