Hi had a bike fit done last week with Nick Giles and a deep tissue massage. Well the bike fit was brilliant and Nick found problems I never knew I had and fixed them. He put me on to Solestar insoles and what a difference they make I feel like I am going faster with less effort than before. It all feels different for the better on the bike. Big thank you Nick starting to feel a lot better on the bike. Give Nick Giles a try you will not be disappointed.

A few weeks a go I arranged to meet Nick Giles to purchase some Solestar insoles and some Suplest Cycling shoes. I went for the Solestar Carbon BLK and I could not be happier with my choice! The first thing I noticed was how stable and planted your foot feels when out of the saddle, particularly going up hill. I got used to the insoles pretty quickly and the power numbers have already started to increase! Your foot seems to be locked in to the shoe but certainly in a comfortable way. This allows me to not be re adjusting my knees during the pedal stroke and it has taken my knee pain away. When putting the power down in a race, I just feel so planted and stable. It feels very efficient and I'm pretty sure no energy is going to waste!
As for the suplest edge 3 performance shoe, I am completely blown away. I was yet to find a shoe that fits me perfectly and doesn't give me any hot spots or aches. This is something I have really struggled with in the past and it was making cycling more difficult. Nick told me about these shoes and everything seemed to make sense, I had to give them a try! This is definitely the cycling shoe for me. It is the first shoe that has given me the pleasure of riding comfortably and I will never change to another brand again! They are a brilliant, lightweight shoe that hugs your feet. I can ride comfortably all day and feel rock solid for power transfer when the hammer goes down. I genuinely do love this shoe and insole combination.
Before I seen Nick I had knee pains, foot pains and back pains. Shoes wouldn't fit my feet and riding for a long time was getting particularly painful. This certainly wasn't good considering the majority of my races are over 100 miles! Nick checked out my bio mechanics and spotted lots of issues. I had muscle knots, extremely tight muscles and due to this - leg discrepancy. After the pain of loosening these muscles off and sorting the problems, nick fitted me to the perfect size shoes and insoles and dialled in my cleat position. I have had no niggles or aches since and it is brilliant. I love to race with this combination of shoe and insole. It is a dream set up!
Thank you to Solestar, Suplest and most of all Nick Giles for finally sorting out my long lasting issue and transforming the way I ride my bike. It has been a huge help and I look forward to using these products for the rest of my riding days!

Bike fit done and dusted thank you Nick Giles for setting the new bike up. I will look forward to getting insoles soon and bringing the other bike in. Really looking forward to getting the training bike done after Mallorca.
Andrew Rose
Thanks to Nick Giles for a fantastic very informative and professional bike fit today 😀 I would highly recommend him 👍
Richard Nickless
Nick Giles Thanks for the bike fitting service today. A very thorough assessment, all in all first class!
Stephen Hatton
Many thanks to Nick Giles for the recent bike fit. Despite reading other comments, the result far exceeded my expections. The result is a better riding position, more efficient pedalling, increased cadence and perceived power. All of this results in a greater cycling experience and much laughter out on the bike.
Thanks Nick.
Steve Aston
Good bike fit at Alf Jones cycles today with Nick Giles. 10W increase in FTP, not bad for an hours work! I now have 12W of total power to unleash on Sunday ;-). We all spend on shiny bits, worth spending to get your position sorted IMO too.
Ryan Morley
I would just like to thank Nick Giles for the amazing bike fit today.
I though that I knew enough about bike fitting to set up a bike, how wrong was I!
After an hour in Nicks fitting room I came out with a completely different cleat position, saddle offset radically changed and some other minor tweaks the the front end setup.
And with an instant 10% in power,
I was stunned that he got such a big increase!
Can't wait to hit the road with the new setup!

Just been for my level 5 bike fit with Nick Giles at Alf Jones.
Having had a lot of teething problems and stress getting my Propel fit/feel right and almost selling it, FINALLY it feels bang on and ready to roll.
Also, the power testing is a great way to see where you are at physically and the subsequent feedback on what you need to work on over the next few months just makes it even better.
Mega happy with the service, the guys really went the extra mile today and the coffee is awesome.
Cheers Nick Really appreciated!
