LBS in Metro area that has saddle fitting capibilities

Postby rockymtbiker » June 8th, 2012, 9:05 pm

I need a couple new saddles & want to go to a local bike shop that has the ability to fit us properly & has a good assortment of saddles to choose from also.

If you can point me to a few shops in the Detroit-Ann Arbor area, then that would be great...thanks...

We ended up at cycle therapy in Waterford. Found what we were looking for.

was in there yesterday, they had about 20 different saddles for half off
not sure about the bootie, but that fits my budget nicely

We used to have a saddle library that people could check out a saddle. But WTB has not offered a new version of this kit as of yet. So test saddles are actaull on hold at our stores. Not that we do not want to help...But we can only offer what we can get a hold of.

We are working to get the saddle program back on track...

Two wheel tango in AA area. Talk to Jess @ the Packard store. They are a specialized shop (IMO the best saddle fit out there).
