Since 2002 we’ve seen almost every kind of rider at Cyclefit.
Beginners who want to get it right, people coming back to the bike after years away, injured cyclists, gravel and endurance riders chasing comfort over long days, triathletes and World Tour professionals.
What we have learned is that no two bodies move the same way, and that a good fit starts with the person, not the bike. Life and its events will affect how you move on and off the bike and we take this in to account.
The Cyclefit session takes place in our Store Street studio on the infinitely adjustable Cyclefit Fit Bike, with Dartfish motion analysis, gebioMized saddle pressure mapping and pedaling data informing our decisions.
We’ll ask about your riding, your goals and any pain or injury history. Then we’ll work through your position step-by-step until we’ve found your best place.
Whether you want more comfort, more power or simply to ride without pain, the Optimal Cyclefit is the way.
What to expect from your New Bike Fitting
Rider History & Interview: to gather detailed information. Cycling history, goals and performance objectives.
Functional Movement Assessment (FMS): A structured evaluation including :Postural alignment and symmetry (static and dynamic assessment). Lower limb functional screening (e.g., single-leg squats),Hamstring and hip-flexor flexibility, Inseam and limb-length measurement to inform bike set-up and the type of bicycle geometry that will suit you best.
Pedal Interface & Foot Control: Foot measurements and assessment. We make sure you are dialled in to prevent any future discomfort. Prescription and fitting of Sidas footbeds (if indicated). Cleat position optimisation. Use of varus/valgus wedges, pedal spacers, and stack height modifications if required.
Dynamic Fitting: on the Cyclefit Fit Bike Live positional assessment pedaling on our infinitely adjustable Fit Bike. Saddle height, setback, and cockpit adjustment as you ride. Establishment of optimal limb angles and kinematic efficiency. Output of bike set-up measurements in easy to understand numbers and XY handlebar and saddle co-ordinates to draft your new bike position.
Coaching and advice: on improved pedal technique and cycling posture.
After the Cyclefit you will be provided with your recommended bike set-up and component recommendations should you wish to adjust your bicycle.
NB. Due to the modern and individual designs of many bicycles on the market it is no longer possible for Cyclefit to adjust bicycles after the appointment. If possible we can arrange at a later date.
