Dynamic Bike Fitting Service

Why do you need a bike fit?

1. Reduce the risk of injury.

2. Improve ride comfort.

3. Enhance pedaling dynamics.

4. Optimize Aerodynamics.

5. Maximize the bikes handling characteristics.

We believe that your bike fitment should be determined before you test ride or purchase a bike.

Why:

1. It greatly improves your chances of making the correct decision when picking a bike.

2. It enables you to test ride bikes that fit you and your riding style.

3. It gives you the correct baseline in which to truly compare bikes.

4. It saves you money!!! By taking the guess work out of your purchasing decision.

What does a Road or Triathlon bike fit include?

1. Client questionnaire and interview.

2. Physical assessment of effective leg length, hamstring, back flexibility, and Hip range of motion.

3. Body measurements.

4. Foot assessment.

5. Recommendations on additional foot support or shimming of the foot pedal interface.

6. Cleat adjustments (for/aft and rotational).

7. Saddle height adjustments.

8. Saddle for/aft and tilt adjustments.

9. Handle bar height and reach adjustments.

10. SpinScan analysis.

11. Suggestions on improving pedaling technique.

12. Dartfish motion capture analysis.

13. Copy of your bike fit coordinates to take home.

Tools of the trade:

Bike Fit Simulator

The Kobila from Exit Cycling is the heart and souls of our dynamic bike fitting tools. It gives us the ability to make quick and accurate changes to both the saddle and handle bar height and for/aft positions. Giving our clients the ability to try many bike fit iterations.

Computrainer

The multi-color torque graph represents one full 360° revolution divided into 15° segments. The left/right leg percentage power splits give you the feedback needed to pedal in "circles". It will identify "flat" or "dead" spots in the pedal stroke where optimal power is not transferred to the drive train. A dynamic bike fit utilizing SpinScan is an excellent way to take the subjectivity and guesswork out of the bike fit process. And the ATA (Average Torque Angle) displayed on the Polar Graph helps you adjust your position for optimum power.

DartFish

Dartfish is the most advanced video technology available on the market. With dartfish we are able to record digital video of our client while they ride the bike under normal riding intensities. We can then take these video clips, play them back in real time or in slow motion to analiys body position on the bike. With the ability of slowing down the video it enables us to see the pedal stroke at a much more accurate level. Stopping these videos in key positions we can accurately measure critical body angles and analyis pedaling technique. Dartfish is truly the best way to accurately analyzing your bike position.

By utilizing the Bike fit simulator, Computrainer’s SpinScan Analysis and DartFish Video Analysis we have made the bike fitting process at Fort Street Cycle truly dynamic.
