Fit for a New Bike
If you’re planning to buy a new bike, we can help you to identify and advise on the manufacturers and models with geometry best suited to your body and riding style. Our new bike build service is split into two sessions: an initial two hour bike fit consultation and a follow up appointment to set up your new bike to your precise measurements.
How it works
Initial consultation
We’ll start by assessing your current position with your bike on a turbo trainer, understanding what you want to gain from your fit, your problem areas, and any current/previous injuries.
We then complete an off-bike biomechanical assessment of your posture, stability, range of motion/flexibility, body asymmetries (eg leg length discrepancy) and contact points (foot and pelvic structure) of the bike to understand your strengths, weaknesses and any functional limitations we are working to.
Your current bike’s position (if you have an existing bike, but no problem if not) will be transferred to the fitting jig, and each contact point will be optimised for your body and riding style.
Position changes of your contact points include:
Cleat positioning and foot support
Saddle selection and positioning
Pedal stroke and crank lengnth assessment
Handlebar width selection and positioning
We will then look analysis what you need from the geometry of the bike in terms of it’s fit geometry, handling and ride characteristics using BikeCAD, as well as discuss your existing bike ideas, build budgets and desired performance components. From here we will look at examples of potential brands and bike ranges together as well as give you the important geometry and component recommendation information for you to be able to make the an informed decision about choosing your new bike.
Follow up appointment
Once you have received delivery of your new bike, a Follow Up appointment can be booked to complete the set up of your new bike, adjusting the fit to your precise measurements. You can ride away knowing your new bike is perfectly set up for you.
