James provided an outstanding service. I arrived, by mistake, a week early for my appointment but James was able to fit me in regardless. My first ever bike fit was interesting, enjoyable and impressive. James was good company answering my many questions and made great coffee too. The bike fit studio was clean, spacious and based within Factor Bikes and so I was surrounded by a selection of mouth watering bikes way beyond my bike finances. I could feel a positive difference immediately when back on the bike and wish I'd gone sooner! I have no hesitation in giving 5 stars and also very good value for money compared to local competition.

P. S.

I used James in the summer to tune my new summer bike and then again a few weeks ago for the winter bike. James was very professional and explained what was happening at each stage of the bike fit. I have had a bike fit a fair few years ago where the fitter was purely looking at pressure on the saddle and really forgot about the other factors, causing me more issues. James has made it more comfortable on the bikes, whilst recommending other changes that need to be made including more stretching for myself!! I would not hesitate in recommending James to any other cyclists requiring a bike fit

Fantastic experience. James explained every step of the process and also provided great insight. As a newbie cyclist this was invaluable. Getting a proper bike fit has made such a difference to my performance and importantly is protecting me against injury. Would absolutely recommend.

I can not recommend James highly enough! The bike fit wasn't a straight forward one but James adapted and done everything he could to make it work for me. James's knowledge and professionalism have been second to none and his aftercare has been equally as brilliant. The changes James recommended to me have made a huge difference to my riding and I'm very grateful for that.

Highly recommend getting a bike fit with James at ride harder. He covered every detail and offered great advice and support pre and post bike fit. I was getting to point where I thought I may have to give up cycling due to severe back pain but now I'm able to enjoy my cycling again.

Had a bike fit with James a few weeks ago to help with a long term back issue. I have to say I'm really impressed. After only a few rides I feel much, much better. Great fit. Great advice on my riding style and great coffee!!

James was excellent in helping me understand not just how adjustments to my bike can impact my ride, but also my own body structure and shape. Since the visit, I am more comfortable on the bike, and continue to focus on the tips James suggested

T. S.

Great service. James is very thorough despite me not being an Olympic cyclist. He changed my handlebar position, cleat position, and saddle which has totally transformed my riding position and enjoyment. No more niggles! Well worth it.

Can’t rave enough about how excellent my bike fit was that James did. So informative and helpful. Sorted out so so much to get me in a far more Aero position that is very comfortable to hold and stay in for much longer. Would 100% recommend James to a friend. Thanks so much.

James is very helpful and knowledgeable. A bike fit is a necessity for all riders and something I should have done a few years ago. It feels like a different bike and I've got my enthusiasm back. Can't wait to get some serious miles in! James makes good coffee too!

Arranged a bike fit with James, while injured. James understood the injury and took this into consideration with every alteration that was made. James explained what he was doing, and what he hoped to gain at each stage. The detail to each change was amazing. He listened to my feed back, to help with the changes. Really would recommend James for a bike fit, he was so assuring and confident in what he was doing. You immediately feel this is the right place for a bike fit. Made previous bike fits memorable for the wrong reasons.

This bike fit has changed the way I ride! I’m faster and more comfortable than ever. James is great and will talk you through every change he makes, on the bike and cleats. Since my fit, all physical niggles before have gone so it was worth every penny. Cannot recommend him enough.

Really enjoyed the Retul bike fit with James. I had only ever had a basic bike fit in the past and opting for the Retul was by far the best choice. I had a knee niggle that I wanted to address with my positioning. James was really thorough, but also spent the time with no rushing and I also came away feeling that I could return if there were still position options to try to fix the problem (which wasn't needed). The comprehensive follow up guide made it easy for me to apply positioning to my other bike. A pleasant afternoon spent talking bikes with great results!

S. H.

A rare combination of both excellent value and quality of service. Bike fit complete - it has changed the riding experience completely. I was getting knee pain after 60-90 minutes, but after this fit rode 3.5hours with no pain. I needed a handlebar and stem change, and the parts James has in stock are very reasonably priced, plus he fitted them for no charge!

Having struggled on a number of rides I was advised to see James at Ride Harder for a bike fit. I went and what a transformation! I spent nearly two hours being assessed on the bike and having various adjustments made on it and the results were superb. Not only am I enjoying cycling more, I am also keeping up with the faster group and progressing well. 100% happy to recommend James at Ride Harder..CW

“On the run up to my first Ironman earlier on this year, I was getting anxious with my position on the bike. It didn’t matter what adjustments I made, I couldn’t find the right position that got me comfortable, despite my best efforts! After many recommendations to go and see James @ RideHarder, I quickly contacted him and went for the bike fit - which happened in a space of days! It was within minutes of meeting James and sitting on my bike and conferring with him about my position and aims on the bike, that I learnt I should have contacted him sooner. James was welcoming, polite and communicated all the information to me clearly so I understood how it related to my performance. The bike fit was highly educational, with James paying attention to the small details of my position. We were able to discuss the pros and cons of different adjustments and as well as mechanics, which James also went out of his way to help me with. For anyone looking to get comfortable on their bike; resolve some niggles due to positioning concerns; looking to shave off time in your cycling performance, or even looking to develop your overall cycling efficiency, I highly recommend James and his services. He is a dedicated professional, committed to his craft and will always be happy to help you. Jason @ Jason Fligg Sport & Exercise Performance”

Thank you James. I’ve been out on my bike now for over 375 miles this last Month. I have ridden for over 90 miles on a couple of rides without any issue. Most defiantly a huge range extender and definitely a comfort enhancer.....well done. I’ll be back just for the coffee alone!

Having suffered from debilitating hot foot on long, hard rides, I was determined to find a solution to this issue...which is where James at Ride Harder came to the rescue. Not only has he fixed my hot foot issue through a methodical process of elimination and common sense adjustments, he has also refined my riding position to optimise power output, improve comfort and overall performance. If you're looking for someone who knows their bike fit and cycle coaching stuff, uses science and technology combined with a huge dose of common, practical sense, then look no further, James Walgrove is your man.

I do not usually write reviews however I cannot praise James Walsgrove at RideHarder enough for a recent bike fit I had at his new and very smart base in Factor Bikes, Hethel. He has finally ended months of agonising sit bone issues and lower back pain. The time he took with me and the detail he went into trying to establish the root cause of the problem was crazy but he worked it out and it worked! two weeks on and I have just completed a relatively hard and lengthy climbing route in Kent and had no problems with either sitbone or lower back pain. For the first time in a very long time I was able to enjoy the ride. If you are having problems or just looking to get more comfortable on your bike then I recommend you talk to Jim first.

K. B.

Brilliant bike fit and great advice from a highly experienced fitter. James was brilliant and gave me some great advice with regards to stretching and flexibility that I needed to work on. Very well priced and very good quality.

M. C.

Excellent bike fit! James made a number of changes to my set up and solved all the problems I was experiencing. Highly recommended!

S. M.

I had arranged for James to set my bike up for me,when I arrived I was very nervous,James explained everything and took his time doing all the adjustments that were needed,I have only just started cycling a few months ago and didn't realised how important it was to have your bike set up,James has made my bike so much easier for me,I would highly recommend people to have their bikes set up by James,the difference it makes is amazing, thank you James.

T. F.

Awesome coach and bike fitting service. I was suffering from severe shoulder and neck pain after mile 50 but since having the Retul fit I am able to keep going pain free.

J. B.

James is very knowledgeable and helpful without anything to do with bikes and performance. I recommend a visit to him.

M. C.

Great bit fit service, in a relaxed setting. Would highly recommend!

G. N.

Can't recommend James highly enough.
