Bike Fit Service (With Money Back Guarantee!)
If you are having problems with pain or injury whilst riding your bike, I also offer a Bike Fitting service which aims to get you riding comfortably and without pain and comes with a money back guarantee. As a qualified Biomechanics Coach and Sports Massage Therapist, I have a unique set of skills that allows me to ensure that you are functioning correctly off the bike before starting a bike fit. This makes it much more likely that you will function correctly on the bike and that short cuts will not have to be taken to work round issues that are preventing you pedalling smoothly and without pain.
Once on the bike I will set you up in the perfect position that balances your goals with your level of function to enable you to ride powerfully and smoothly in the position that you require. The bike fit will involve looking at and adjusting all of the following on the bike:
- Seat height
- Seat setback
- Seat angle
- Bar height
- Reach to bars
- Brake hood angle
- Brake hood position
- Bar angle
- Cleat position
- Foot correction in the shoe
- Foot correction at the cleat
The outcome of this should be that you feel comfortable on the bike and those minor or major aches and pains that you have previously accepted as part of the experience of riding should diminish, leaving you free to concentrate on putting down the power or enjoying the scenery!
How My Bike Fitting Philosophy Differs:
The majority of bike fitting systems involve looking at the body on the bike and breaking the position down to a number of measurements of length and angles. This is an effective way to get a generally correct position for the majority of people, but doesn't take into account the large variation of shapes and sizes of human beings there are.
My bike fitting philosophy involves starting off the bike and ensuring that you can perform simple movements whilst not locked into the pedals, before objectively assessing your position and function on the bike. This may end up with a position that is very different from the rules of thumb for correct angles and numbers, but will likely be much more natural feeling and comfortable for you.
Money Back Guarantee:
I feel confident that my understanding of human movement off the bike plus the principles of correct position on the bike will come together and give you the most comfortable and efficient position possible. However, if you feel that the fit is not quite right you are entitled to come back for any minor tweaks to your position free of charge! If you are one of the very rare individuals who I just cannot get into a position that is comfortable on a bicycle, my money back guarantee ensures that you do not pay a penny for the service.
