Heya guys, I have a question. Is it worthwhile to get yourself fitted professionally after buying a bike? The specialist I talked to stated that he'd look at cleat positioning, saddle height, stem length and such. However, I am rather comfortable as I am on my bike, except for a little problem. After 25-30 mins of riding, my fingers go numb. This leads to inability to grab the brakes. Someone told me that I should wear some nice cycling gloves which helps with its gel padding. Another stated that my stem might be too long.
What could be the causes of this? Elaborate please. Would raising my handlebars help? And when someone states the stem is too long, which stem is he talking about? Thanks.
