Why should I get fitted for my bike?
Getting a bike fit can significantly improve your riding experience. It helps reduce discomfort, prevent injuries, and increase efficiency and power output. Whether you’re a casual rider or a competitive cyclist, a proper bike fit is essential for enjoying your rides to the fullest.
How long does it take?
A typical bike fit takes approximately 2 hours, depending on your specific needs and the adjustments required. Our goal is to ensure your bike fits you perfectly, so we take the time needed to get every detail right.
What do I need to complete a fit?
Your bike, cycling shoes, and your usual cycling clothing. It’s important to fit you in the gear you normally ride in to ensure the adjustments are tailored to your regular riding conditions. If you would like any additional bikes or shoes fitted at the same time, please have them available.
How do I prepare for my fitting?
Ensure your bike is clean and in good working condition. If you have any specific concerns or areas of discomfort while riding, be ready to discuss them during your appointment as the bike fitter will ask you all of this.
How much space do I need for the fit?
You’ll need enough space to set your bike up on a turbo trainer and our bike fitter will also have an exercise mat for you to undergo your biomechanical assessments. This is a rough area of 2 to 3 meters squared.
If you could also make sure that any valuable or precious belongings are removed from the fitting space and please ensure that any pets (or small children) are also kept away from the fitting area.
Is getting fitted at my home as comprehensive as at a studio?
Absolutely! Our mobile bike fit service offers the same level of expertise and precision as a studio fit. The advantage is that we bring this service directly to you, providing convenience without compromising on quality.
What if I need to cancel or re-arrange my fit?
We understand that plans can change. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance of your appointment to avoid a cancellation fee.
Who will complete my fit?
