Your Bike Fit Investment
Here at Fit Studio, we start with a biomechanical assessment off the bike to help identify any anatomical irregularities that could manifest on the bike, and a dynamic biomechanical assessment on the bike will further clarify any areas of concern.
All bike fit services will require the following procedure, with the exception of an additional bike fit (second bike). In this instance you would have completed your Biomechanical Assessment with your previous fit. If your circumstances have changed or there has been a significant time lapse between fits, we strongly recommend you consider a full reassessment.
Pre Assessment
(a) First a questionnaire. The questionnaire will cover your present health and fitness, past injuries, cycling experience, short to long-term goals and what you expect from your fit.
​
(b) An anatomical assessment will help identify any limiting factors that may determine your fit. This is a great opportunity for you to learn about your flexibility, range of motion, limitations, and possible ways of improving with a bespoke performance coaching programme (free for 1 month as part of your Bike Fit experience)
Dynamic Assessment
(a) Our first look at you on the bike. A quick visual assessment and conversation about your riding style, comfort and how your pre assessment results could affect your present position. This is a great time to discuss your present riding concerns around comfort, stability and efficiency.
(b) Dynamic bike fit using motion capture software to determine your present fit geometry and angle limitations throughout the pedal cycle. We will assess your riding position from 4 directions using video caption software, along with numerous observations required to support the fitting process.
Adjustments
(a) Time for a rest and maybe a coffee while the small adjustments are made to your shoes, cleats and bike position. (all your original measurements are recorded before this step).
In an ideal situation the alterations will be made directly to your bike, but in circumstance when this is not possible, a replicated position on our fully adjustable jig will facilitate the final fit considerations. Saddles, handlebars, stem length and crank length can all be swapped quickly and easily, as well as climbing simulation up to 20% to really dial in your new fit experience.
(b) After the adjustments are made, additional observation and video captions are carried out to review your new riding position until we have a satisfactory outcome.
Results & Next Steps
You will receive a pdf copy of your fit process, including before and after measurements along with the adjustments made to your bike. Your fit documents are securely stored within your coaching platform that will also have some coaching support relating to your biomechanical assessment and goals.
Your coaching platform is free for 1 month from the date of your bike fit and can be extended if further coaching is required. Your fit documents can be downloaded or printed from here too.
