    I booked in with Greg not knowing what to expect, I was having trouble with my hands and suspected the position on my (newish) bike was the problem. From the moment you arrive Greg makes you feel welcome, informed and at ease. He explained the process every step of the way - from cleat adjustment, to saddle and grips. The end result… I’ve been on three rides now (C150m) I feel more comfortable on the bike, better balanced and much stronger through my legs. With the subtle adjustments he made my arms feel more relaxed and so far I’ve not any issues with my hands. For those of us addicted to these two wheeled contraptions we know they are an expensive but enjoyable piece of kit, why I hadn’t been fitted professionally before god only knows. I would highly recommend Dr Sprocket for anyone who wants more comfort and enjoyment out of their bike. 5 ***** FROM ME …. 🚴‍♂️👍🏻

    Great customer experience. Going for my bike fit and having a chat with Greg really helped me get back into the swing cycling, improved the comfort on the bike and gave me some great tips to help me get stronger and faster for the upcoming summer.

    I'm happy with my fitting. Greg is a great person.I like the way he explained everything. If in the future will need to be fitted to new bike definitely will come again.

    Got a bike fit done by Gregg for the return of the long summer rides, very knowledgeable and plenty of time taken to set up cleats, saddle and hood angles. Comprehensive report supplied with all measurements to strip and be able to reset bike back up. Definitely go back with next bike, looking at performance test when spot becomes available.

    Absolute top bloke and great service. Didn't want to make an expensive mistake and buy the wrong size bike. Everyone has completely different geometry - don't just go by the manafacturers "height guide" each bike set up on jig to check fit, data saved and then copied onto my new wheels when it arrived. Thanks sure I'll be back n+1 and all.

    I went for a professional bike fit with Greg from Doctor Sprocket based on a recommendation. Greg has a wealth of knowledge and experience in the events he's completed and been a part of and is a true expert on setting up the bike specific to the kind of riding that I'll be predominantly doing. He took the time to thoroughly assess my bike history and experience and any issues I may be looking to alleviate with a correct bike fit. I couldn't have been happier with the service I received from Greg and truly grateful for all the advice he gave me along the way regards to my own events coming up. A genuinely fantastic bloke and one that I'll continue to recommend and use in future. Thank you Greg!!

    Greg was really professional and friendly during my bike fit. He was very knowledgeable and immediately made sure to explain the process of how he would be better fitting me on my bike. Going through the process was really simple and Greg explained what he was doing and why at every stage which was really useful to understand. I'd definitely recommend this service to anyone who doesn't feel slightly right on their bike and would go back again if needed!

    I was pointed Greg’s way by the manufacturer when considering buying my new bike, and I’m very glad I was. The pre-purchase jig fit allowed me to confidently choose components when buying the bike, and the post-purchase fit confirmed they were good choices. Greg was courteous, welcoming, and highly professional throughout. If you’ve any concerns about sizing for a new bike, or your general bike fit, book in with Greg. You won’t regret it.

    I'm now ready for the Tour of Britain! I've been cycling for over 15 years and this is the first time I've taken the plunge to get fitted on my bike professionally. My only regret is not doing this sooner as the difference is absolutely incredible. Greg is one of the most down to earth and friendly blokes I've had the pleasure to meet, and his knowledge is second to none. I was suffering from numbness in my hands and back pain. After running through all of the analysis Greg does on your bike set up, the adjustments he made left me wondering how i managed for so long. (He also gladly adjusted my rear derailleur as the gears were a little off) My cleats were corrected as well as my saddle angle, height and reach. He also adjusted my handlebars to encourage a 'break' at my wrists to relax my arms, preventing the numbness I was feeling by cycling with my arms almost locked out. I didn't quite realise how much science and mechanics were involved in being fitted correctly and I'm now so glad I booked in. I'll definitely be back in future if I ever need any adjustments or a new saddle, as that is another service he also offers. If you're unsure or on the fence; call him, you won't regret it!

    What a fantastic couple of hours spent with Dr Sprocket sorting out my bike fit on my road bike. What a super guy, his knowledge is incredible and all explained to a layman like me so I could fully understand. He was courteous, precise, professional and relaxed all at the same time. I could have spent the whole day with him. His knowledge about you, your bike, nutrition, body function, muscles, I could go on about how much information. Anyway, my bike fit was sorted and I have a better understanding of what I need to do to ride smarter not harder. And you get a full report via Email. Get booked in and get fitted correctly.

    After experiencing some backache on longer rides, I had a bike fit by Dr Sprocket, which has resulted in a much improved ride. He uses the most up to date technology, and combines this skill and knowledge with a huge wealth of experience over many years as a competitive cyclist. His attention to detail is second to none. I had my cleats repositioned, the saddle moved forward, the handlebars raised and rotated, with the result that I not only feel more comfortable, but stronger and safer. Can't recommend Dr Sprocket highly enough for a quality bike fit along with fascinating cycling and training chat.

  • 5/5 ed w. 2 years ago on Google
    Thought I'd wait 2 weeks following the bike fit before writing the review as Greg did say to give it 4 or 5 rides to allow the adjustments to become comfortable and see the benefits. After just completing 200 miles in 2 days I can't stress enough both the increased comfort and improved performance following the fitting! Gone are the shoulder and neck pain as well as the pins and needles in my hands. I can't recommend the service provided by Greg enough, professional, friendly and for the benefits it's excellent value too! Half of the Gwalchmai cycling club have now used the service and its a 4 hour round trip which says it all!!!!

    Brilliant service for my bike fit after being recommended to go here by Giant Liverpool. Adjusted loads on my new TT bike and fully explained everything that was going on and why it was being done, with a full report and set of measurements emailed to me within minutes of me leaving the door. As well as that, very knowledgeable and interesting chat with Greg about all things triathlon which was also really beneficial and unexpected. Would 100% recommend to anyone keen to get this done. Went out on a 100km ride the next day and the difference was remarkable.

  • 5/5 Garry J. 1 year ago on Google
    The Bike fit was a brilliant experience to say the least. Greg is very knowledgeable and passionate individual who is driven to deliver the best Service he can! I went into this not knowing what to expect, however Greg was extremely welcoming and put me at ease, explaining every bit of the process and the reasons why. It’s fair to say my bike fit has benefited me significantly, I feel much better and comfortable on the TT bike allowing me to put down power more efficiently! If you’re considering going with Greg, just do it, you won’t regret it.

    Had a bike fit with Greg on Saturday. the service was fantastic. From the time i walk in. his knowledge was great, the way he asked about your riding style and what you where tying to achieve from the bike fit. Will be going back when i get up grade the bike again soon.

    I saw Greg about a month ago after a recommendation from Total Transition Triathlon club. Our fitting session took roughly 90 minutes and Gregs technical knowledge and expertise was just so impressive. As well as this, he was brilliant company, super interesting and has a cracking sense of humour. I expected great results on the bike, given the strength of recommendations from the tri club and given Gregs knowledge and setup. The results have still exceeded my expectations, which has been incredibly satisfying and I am now addicted to spending time on it. My brother and dad are keen cyclists and I will be directing them to Greg, probably both as Christmas presents!

  • 5/5 Simon P. 2 years ago on Google
    Couldn't recommend highly enough. From first calling up to arrange an appointment, Greg has been incredibly generous with his time and very honest in his approach. I found the session to be very relaxed and informative; Greg is fun and easy to get on with, but also very knowledgeable and great at what he does. Will definitely be coming back soon with the next bike.

  • 5/5 Peter G. 2 years ago on Google
    I booked in to see Greg following some decent feedback from a mate of mine. As I've got a new bike I thought it would be good to get some assurance I was set up correctly. I didn't think I had any major issues to sort but Greg was very thorough with gaining an understanding of the type of riding I do and took lots of measurements and video footage. Greg talked me through his thoughts and explained the changes. I now feel more relaxed, comfortable and therefore I'm more efficient. Great service and I would highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Chris L. 2 years ago on Google
    If you're thinking about a bike fit, do it, and go to Greg! I'm a casual cyclist, arguably a fair weather cyclists so I wasn't looking for shaving tenths of a second of my times etc, I just wanted to be more comfortable than I was, Greg sorted it with ease! I've suffered with neck pain since getting a road bike about a year ago, and it was slowly getting worse so looked into bike fits and they seemed expensive, so went down the physio route instead, thinking my bike set up was OK (how hard can it be right??). The physio helped, but didn't solve the problem....i had my bike fit a month ago now and can honestly say that 2 hours with Greg and being £125 lighter has completely got rid of my neck pain!!! Amazing! I was ready to sell up and do something else for my fitness but Greg was brilliant, helpful, personable and knows his stuff. He tells you what's what without being patronising (and my bike set up needed many changes), and will make your bike rides so much more comfortable and beneficial. I only wanted to be without pain but I'm now also more efficient, and going faster by putting in no more effort than I was on an ill-fitted bike set up.

    Had an excellent experience on my first bike fitting with Greg. I’m a newbie and he took the time to explain everything in great detail, from positioning, to shoes, to stretches specific to what I needed .I really enjoyed the fitting and feel much more confident on the bike now, I would recommend Greg to anyone, thanks so much for your help!

  • 5/5 edward m. 2 years ago on Google
    A fantastic bike fit today with Greg. First class communication prior to the appointment. Clearly incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about his work. Wonderfully insightful session and the adjustments made should make a great difference to not only my performance but the comfort on the bike! Just need the weather to clear up now as I cant wait to get back out on the road! Thanks Greg
