Every cyclist looks for the optimal position
on their bicycle which, until now, has been determined by a number of
"rules of thumb" and instinctive feeling. While all very nice, these
do not respond to the demands of a highly technical modern bicycle. For the job
to be done correctly, a bicycle should fit as if made-to-measure.

To ensure that you are fitted correctly fitted
we have invested in a Bike Fitting System from www.bikefitting.com
|
We
believe an essential part of buying a new bike
is getting the correct sizie
and fit. Get it right and you
will be free from backache and knee pain, you will be able to ride faster
and further.
The
fitting service will take approximately two hours.

Stage 2. The Jig
Short
warm up to get the muscles working and you flexing. Again we start at the
bottom and work upwards. Cleat are checked for alignment. The saddle
height is set for maximum efficiency and your knee alignment is checked.
Your
core body strength is determined and is used to set your upper body
position. Arm extension and elbow bend is measured and checked for
comfort.

Stage 3. The Results
At the
end of all this we have a template of measurements which we can use to
either determine which off the peg frame will suit you, what measurements
you will need for a custom built frame, or a guide for setting up your
existing bike. |
