Does anyone know a good mountain bike fitting service in the Vancouver area? Similar to what Arthur @ Suspension Therapy (http://suspension-therapy.com) offers, though he is out of commission recovering from an injury.

Are you having a hard time deciding on a frame size? Or do you plan on tinkering with stem length, saddle position, etc

I don't know of anyone, unless your idea of a mountain bike is something to do the Test Of Metal on in which case any roadie fitter will probably do.
I'd rather trust an experienced sales person in a reputable shop who might understand that even if you have long legs, running 175mm cranks with a 12 1/2" BB height on the Shore might not be a great idea for example. You've got to fit the bike to the terrain as well as the person.

Thanks for the info guys. The reason I asked is that I'm getting some low-back / glute pain from long rides after switching to a new bike, but can't figure out what needs adjusting.
