Bike fitting

Position adjusted from flexibility and history, one change at a time, recorded numerically.

What it is

A bike fit adjusts the bike to the rider rather than asking the rider to adapt. Most persistent discomfort on a bike, in the knees, hands, neck or saddle area, is a position problem rather than a fitness problem.

What is included

Interview covering discomfort and history
Flexibility and leg length assessment
Saddle, bar and cleat adjustment
Numeric record of the final position
Follow-up adjustment after riding it in

How it works

Interview and history

We ask about discomfort, riding volume, flexibility and any previous injury, because the fit follows the body.

Measurement

We assess flexibility and leg length and observe the rider on the bike, pedalling under load.

Adjustment

We adjust saddle height, fore-aft, bar reach and drop, and cleat position, one change at a time.

Confirmation

We record the final position numerically so it can be reproduced on any bike or after a repair.

Frequent questions

My knees hurt when I ride. Is that the bike?

Very often, yes. Saddle height and cleat position are the usual causes, and both are adjustable in minutes once the problem is identified.

Is a fit worth it on an entry-level bike?

Arguably more so. A correct position on a modest bike beats a poor position on an expensive one, and the fit transfers to your next bike.

How long does a fit take?

A proper session takes a couple of hours, because changes are made one at a time and each is ridden before the next.
