Bike fit - Options

Shoe & Cleat - A Shoe & Cleat fitting is a detailed study of the foot, shoe, pedal interface and the subsequent implications to power delivery and comfort. The Shoe & Cleat option is recommended for anybody experiencing any discomfort with their feet or knees or hoping to prevent injury in the future. Although mainly concerned with comfort, the optimum location of cleats can also give power and efficiency benefits. The Shoe & Cleat fitting uses primarily the front view camera in conjunction with the side camera, cleat jig, fore-foot measuring device and scanner to accurately define pedalling motion and help develop suitable recommendations, which could include cleat wedges, shims, insoles or a change in pedalling style. If appropriate we may also use the Look Keo Fit System, an electronic pedal to accurately measure the angle of the foot and required float whilst pedalling.

 

Dynamic Fit - A Dynamic fit is designed to establish the best compromise between efficient power delivery and comfort, which will vary depending upon the customers flexibilty and objectives. Using primarily the side view camera to capture the cycling motion at a suitable speed and cadence, detailed measurements are taken of key metrics such as knee, hip, ankle, torso, arm and wrist postures. Knee angles are used to define saddle heights and confirm crank length suitability. Hip angles and location, plus Centre of Gravity criteria are used to establish saddle set back. Torso, arm, elbow and wrist posture help establish the best compromise of power, comfort and aerodynamics. The additional cost of TT or Triathlon Bikes (including aerobars on road bikes) reflects the additional time taken with these set ups. This will usually include use of the head on camera to minimise frontal cross sectional area.

 

Dynamic plus Shoe and Cleat - By far our most popular fitting option. Due to a significant overlap between the two fittings we can offer a useful cost benefit when doing them together.

 

Additional bike - Provides the opportunity to assess a second bike; be it road bike, mountain, time trial or triathlon. This allows you to replicate the optimised position on another bike. We do have a slick-tyred mountain bike wheel to replace the usually horrendously noisy treaded tyres. The turbo trainer is capable of operating with a minimum wheel diameter of 610mm.

 

Bike fit - Extras

DVD - During a typical Dynamic Fit plus Shoe and Cleats we could take between 6 and 16 video clips of front and side views. A summary DVD of the clips (including analysis) is available for an additional £8.

 

Physiotherapy Assessment - We often find that an optimum bike fit is compromised by flexibility problems and in particular asymmetrical flexibility or anatomy. If you think this applies to yourself, or for any other relevant issues, you may like to book in with a Chartered Physiotherapist for an assessment, cost £45.

 

Parts - Please note we keep a stock of both new and recycled parts, particularly stems, seat posts, shims and wedges, insoles and cleats. If, for instance, the fitting suggests you need a different stem, you can either purchase or swap for one of ours or buy and fit one yourself separately.
