Where and at what cost can i get a bike fit done properly? I have a problem where as soon as i start doing 15 and above km my right knee hurts 0n the right back side. So i have read that this is most probably saddle hight and or cleat position. I need some one/place that can help me with set up?

After trying almost every shop/fitter in Joburg (including Cyclefit and Activeworx) to sort out a knee problem, I've finally had some success with The BG Fit at Concept Cyclery in Melrose Arch.

R1000 (IIRC) for the initial comprehensive three hour setup, followed about six weeks later by a free follow-up setup. I subsequently went for a second follow-up setup that was also free, but I'm not sure if that's the norm.

Hi JacquesZA, as a member of XCOSA.CO.ZA Club you have access to one of the few internationally qualified biometric technicians in the country, and that at a stupidly discounted price for club members - check your club prospectus ...

Contact your club chairman at 0713608770

"The BG Fit at Concept Cyclery in Melrose Arch."

The really serious cyclists I know rate this is the only option. Free or cheap setups can often be worse than doing your own play it by ear setup. Their opinion, not mine, btw - so keep the flames gentle.
