Wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas and a happy, healthy and prosperous 2012. I have been a bit slow with posts during December because I’ve been swamped with other responsibilities. I have several posts coming that I hope you will find interesting. Thank you to all for the kind words and patronage during 2011. A particular thank you to Jason for his behind the scenes efforts.

Merry Christmas, Steve!
Merry Christmas Steve and Jason and thank you for giving us a site worth revisiting again and again. Have a great New Year.
And the same to you Rob. Be back shortly.
Thanks, Rob! Happy Holidays to you.
Take some time to enjoy the family Steve. Looking forward to learning more and exploring new fitting techniques in 2012.
Merry Christmas,
Jerry Gerlich
I’m looking forward to your visit Jerry. Merry Christmas to your family and all at the Castle.
Merry Christmas Steve, and all the fellow readers of this site.
P.S. Just got my 4mm shim today, so it was like an early Christmas gift.
G’day Cory,
I’m interested to hear how you get on with that size shim.
Having the day off has allowed me to do a lot of research and I fortunately found your site (nice Christmas present). I found your article at:
https://docs.google.com/viewer?url=http://www.stevehoggbikefitting.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Footloose.pdf&pli=1&chrome=true
and believe it might just make a big difference in correcting my irritated MCL (something I have struggled with for over a year). I’ll let you know but it looks promising.
Merry Christmas.
G’day Les,
I hope for your sake that whatever you read does lead you in
the right direction.
Mr. Hogg… I can’t thank you enough!! Just finished a 2.5 hour ride and that was easily the best I have felt on the bike in a couple of years!! Unreal and I am so excited because I could feel my left leg contributing a lot more and the fluidity that I normally enjoy in the right leg was also there in the left and all it took was following some suggestions you made in the article. Huge thanks!!
G’day Les,
It’s Steve, not ‘Mr’. You helped yourself. All I’ve done is
point you in the right direction. Well done and hoping that your cycling experience improves further.
Steve, I wish you were closer as a pint of beer in celebration would be nice to share. Two weeks of very successful riding as a result of shimming my left foot and sliding the cleats back a little. Actually sitting on the bike evenly whereas before my favoring had me sliding to the left to compensate for the shorter leg (along with dropping the hip and ya what a callous I have on that foot). Narrowed the qfactor as well and surprise surprise the inflamed MCL is on it’s way to improving. Again, my thanks… I wonder if this will help with the horrific cramps I have endured in the past ; ) I’m betting it will.
G’day Les,
I’m very happy for you that you are getting a result from your
effort. I can provide info but you still have to properly apply that info, and that is the hard part.
Re the cramps; you don’t say where you were experiencing them but improved symmetry on seat should quieten them down at best and have no negative effects at worst.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year to you Steve and all the best to Margret and Jason from joining your web site in January it’s been a great journey of discovery that finally led me Scherrit , I will be renewing my membership thanks for everything
G’day Lee,
I’m glad that Scherrit made you happy and Merry Christmas to you to.
