Tad Hughes Custom Fit Studio — Local services in Houston

I started out as a triathlete 3 years ago and got my bike fit at chained retailers because that's all I knew. I felt all this pain in my lower back and I always thought this was the life of a triathlete; to endure the pain and get use to it. In my second year, I heard about Tad and his bike fit reputation. I went online, saw the price, and thought "pft! I'm not spending that kind of money!" A few months later, I signed up for my first Ironman and then things got REAL real fast. Anytime I road more than 50 miles, my back would scream of pain. That's when I knew it was time. I did not want to spend the next year of training with this pain. So when I went in to see Tad, it was a cool experience: flexibility testing, bike measurements, angle measurements, and pedal and seat pressure analysis. This guy had it down to a visual science. Nothing remotely close to the bike fits I received at the retailer shops. To this day, I can ride 50+ miles with no back problems. Thanks Tad! I know you could be in a cool cycling city like Austin and Portland. So we appreciate you for setting up shop here...

So impressed by Tad's knowledge & enthusiasm to get it right. I've been riding a long time & thought when I rode longer it was just going to be uncomfortable - my knees would hurt, my lower back would ache, my shoulders would burn after a certain amount of time - thought that was normal - UNTIL I got refitted by Tad (I had been fitted previously by someone else). He fixed all my pain, spent time with me, really listened, was patient, explained why he was making certain adjustments, gave me tips for hip pain, & gave me his undivided attention. I did another Ironman right after & for the first time after a 6 hr ride, I didn't have the usual pains. He solved everything & completely changed how I ride. I'm so grateful. I really appreciate his honestly, his experience, & his commitment to help me not "sell to me". Excellent customer service & I truly trust him, thank...

(Update :3rd time seeing tad again and hes gotten better. Expected after 5 years or whatever.

He takes into consideration the type of riding uou are doing and sets you up for that. More importantly he explains how and why. Next he also helps explain physically what might be wrong with the body and how to fix it)

You cannot go wrong with Tad. Hes worth every penny and sets you up for the type of riding you intend to do.

Thanks again dude.

I have also been riding with a poor bike fit for about 1 year now and i finally decided to see ted a few days ago. Tad is very good at what he does. He looked at the full picture and got me setup on the bike perfect.

My shoe beds are perfect and riding my bike is a joy once again. I feel ridiculously comfortable on my bike now. Fluid rotations and im able to hold a good cadence for long...
