Bike Fit 101
It all begins with the saddle. Then the handlebars. Finishing with the cleat / pedal interface. The foundation of your position is balanced between your three contact points. Butt. Hands. Feet. Get those right and the rest will fall into place.
Saddle
Saddle Work includes a sit bone measurement, saddle wear analysis, saddle tilt & setting the seat height. Saddle recommendations for adjustment or replacement can be made.
Drop Bar
Drop Bar Handlebar fitting includes bar reach and drop analysis, hood angle ergonomics, percentage of bar use (hoods, tops, drops), handlebar width and overall shape analysis, bar tape wear analysis & brake lever reach adjustment optimization.
MTB Bar
MTB Handlebar fitting includes bar reach and drop analysis, and bar width optimization. Significant ergonomic adjustment are made to grips, brake levers, shifters, dropper and shock lockout controls.
Aerobar
Aerobar optimization is key to rider comfort and elongating time spent “in aero.” Ergonomic adjustments are made to pad with and angle, aerobar extension length and shape, and shifter position. Hydration and computer mounting suggestions for minimizing neck and shoulder movements.
Body Angles
Knee, hip, shoulder, elbow and wrist angle are all analyzed and correct to the appropriate range. Outliers may occur, but rider feedback has shown optimal performance and comfort when body angles are kept within the parameters.
Cleat / Pedal
A significant portion of the fitting is spent on the Foot/Shoe/Cleat/Pedal Interface. Including a foot measurement, shoe and cleat wear analysis, pedal wear analysis, cleat placement optimization, forefoot measurement and correction, & knee tracking and alignment.
