At bicycle our ethos is that the rider always comes first, we fit people, not bikes!

Commonly, bike fitting results are achieved by adhering to rule of thumb, using the same leg extension figures or motion capture algorithm.

All of our sessions are carried out on our fitting jig. This state of the art piece of equipment measures speed, heart rate, cadence, power and left/right balance as well as being almost infinitely adjustable dynamically (while the rider is pedalling)

We use high definition video analysis software to film you at 60 frames per second (the leading motion capture system operates at 18FPS) from all four planes, left and right as well as the front and rear to compare pre and post fit positions.

We take pressure mapping readings from the saddle and ask you specific targeted questions. This is where we are truly different - gaining a more intimate understanding of your interaction with the bike. This part of our bike fit protocol collates information that a system or motion capture algorithm cannot begin to compete with.

A pressure mapping system can give you an incredible amount of information how pressure is distributed through the saddle but it cannot tell you how a rider is feeling. We have seen riders presenting a near “perfect” pressure mapping result yet the rider is still in pain - technology is nothing without a good brain behind it.
