I'm gonna take my bike to REI this weekend so I can get it (hopefully) fit better to me. What experiences have you had with them?
Im not so sure REI would be a good resource for fitting. I would first try a more high end bike shop first.Scott'sTrek1000 said:I'm gonna take my bike to REI this weekend so I can get it (hopefully) fit better to me. What experiences have you had with them?

When I contacted their local store guys with a couple of basic set-up questions, they were really quick to tell me that I should call their Seattle location because that was where I would find the "real bike shop guys." Based upon the conversations and dealings that I ended up having with the Seattle bike shop guys, I was anything but impressed. I ended up going by my now beloved LBS for a complimentary (translates free) fitting and have never thought of going anywhere else since.
Some of REI's cycling gear can be had at decent prices especially if you catch them in a sale, but that is about the extent of my use for them since purchasing my bike.
Your experience at your REI location may be very different, but I would sure check with them first to even see if they are up for it.
Hope this helps.
