Bike fit.
Proper bike fit is the foundation of your cycling experience. Just as proper swim technique is essential to executing your fastest pool splits, proper position and attention to pedal and posture on the bike advances biomechanical and muscular function. These elements are necessary for continual progression while limiting your chances of overuse injuries. We fit all abilities and experience levels. The basics of bike fit can be daunting for many cyclists and triathletes and we fit athletes of all abilities and skill levels. How bike fit concepts apply to you as an individual is the key. With so many questions concerning saddle position, cleat set up, handlebar height and reach, equipment choices, etc., YOUR best fit requires a unique understanding of your strengths and limitations. Let us help guide and educate you about your alignment to find what WERX!
Step 1: Assessment
During the assessment our fit professionals discuss and test your goals, riding style, capabilities, and physical limitations. During this time we will also test your flexibility and body proportions before we put you on the bike. The knowledge gained from understanding your individual limitations and weaknesses will help us develop the best possible position for you and your bike.
Step 3: Analysis
Now that we have the proper measurements we will analyze the data and begin to develop the most effective bike position and adjustments for your body. Our bike fit professional will educate you on the rationale for changing your position and what you can expect for performance.
Step 2: Measurement
Now it's time to get on your bike so we can perform detailed measurements of your current bike setup and body position. This is when we will look at your cleats, saddle, handlebar, knee, back, hand, and leg positions taking careful note of how your current setup is affecting your performance. Significant attention is placed on each aspect of the measurement process to ensure your individual fit is maximized for your goals.
Step 4: Adjustment
We will now make the necessary adjustments to your seat, cleats, and handlebars to give you the most effective position on the bike, specific to your body. After completing the adjustments, we will give you a side-by-side comparison of your before and after position. Before you ride off on your professionally-fit bike, we will make sure to capture all of the notes and measurements taken during the session. This information will be sent to you in a PDF, along with your before and after images. Make sure to save your results and take them along whenever you travel with your bike so you will always have your proper position. Now, time to ride!
