Shimano purchases BikeFitting.com

Not sure how this will affect US retailers; however, this acquisition could definitely help Shimano’s PRO component business. Let the speculation begin:

  • Could we see a move that ties Shimano and PRO into one fitting program?
  • New fitting lectures from this major component supplier?
  • PRO branded fitting tools?

We’ll have to wait and see.
