Bike Fit

Bike Fit

The bike fit is the most important part of your bike purchase. We professionally fit every bike we sell and are dedicated to getting you the best bike for optimum performance and comfort.

A good fit can help in the following ways:

Performance
A proper fit will allow you to expend less energy, and put out more power.

Comfort
A good fit will be tailored to the type of riding and specific goals you are looking to achieve. It will make the bike comfortable and reduce the chance of injury. A bike that is as little as 1cm off can cause you great discomfort.

Aerodynamics
The primary goal of a triathlon and time trial fit is to achieve better aerodynamics and still maintain comfort and power output. For elite road racers, aerodynamics is also relevant.

Trying to retrofit a bike that is the wrong size makes the fit process much more challenging. Choosing a bike with the optimal set of dimensions always yields the best results (having the ideal stem length and saddle height dramatically affect the way a bike handles and feels). A properly fit bike will descend, accelerate and corner with confidence. A poorly fit bike can shake, wobble and ultimately be dangerous.

During your bike fit we are happy to explain what we are doing and why. Feel free to ask as many questions as you wish. Through this interaction, most find they feel much more comfortable about the purchase decision they are making.

What do you need to bring to your fitting? Cycling shoes, shorts and a jersey are required. We also recommend bringing a towel and water bottle with you.

To schedule a fitting, please call Jason or Scott at 303.216.2000.
