More Information
Before your fit
You should wear your cycle clothing, preferably lycra so we can put markers on you and see your profile. Please bring your cycling shoes as well. You can use our changing facilities if you wish. You will spend most of the session on our Fitting Bike; you are welcome to bring your own bike with you too as we can use this as a reference and adjust it after your Bike Fit.
The Rider Interview
We need to know as much as possible about you, your life style, occupation and your cycling including any injuries or discomfort. Knowing your future aims and aspirations, but including the current limitations will help us determine your best bike position based on your body type and intensity and level of riding.
Physical Evaluation
Body measurements, stability and flexibility assessments will help us build a picture of your individual bio-mechanics and physical conditioning, Particular attention is paid to understanding your feet as a correctly adjusted shoe/pedal interface can improve pedalling dynamics, performance and comfort.
Injury/Pain Concerns
We will spend time discussing past or current injuries. Any discomfort history both on and off the bike is significant. This helps us to understand what we may find during the physical evaluation or during the on-bike analysis.
Position Analysis
You will be on the Fit Bike or your own bike for up to an hour with a process of adjustments to component positions to optimise function. Your fitter, Matt, will advise on re-learning posture and pedalling techniques to improve your performance and symmetry.
Bike Set-up
At the end of your Bike Fit we will adjust your bike to match your new position and/or fit any new components needed to achieve this.
Your shoes and cleats will be adjusted ready to ride.

After your fit
You’ll receive a report at the end of your session, including our observations and recommendations, as well as all the measurements you need to set up any bike to your recommended optimal position.
Bike fitting is a process and journey, which evolves over time, not a single event. We recommend annual follow-up appointments to check if any changes are needed to your riding position should your body or goals change.
