Bike fit - Options
Dynamic Fit £110
A Dynamic fit is designed to establish the best compromise between efficient power delivery and comfort, which will vary depending upon the customers flexibility and objectives. Using a CompuTrainer ergometer with Spinscan analysis software and Dartfish motion capture to accurately define the cyclist's posture around the pedal stroke. An optimum fit is achieved using a combination of direct observation, subjective impression and objective data. The motion capture equipment enables detailed measurements of dynamic knee, hip, ankle, torso, arm and wrist postures whilst Spinscan provides left-right power contribution, and pedalling efficiency metrics. More importantly for a TT or Triathlon bike, the Dynamic Fit would also include an assessment of the total frontal surface area and look for opportunities to improve aerodynamics.
Dynamic Fit plus Shoe and Cleat £145
Our most popular fitting option. The additional 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 essential for anybody experiencing any discomfort
with their feet, knees and hips or hoping to prevent injury in the future.
The Shoe & Cleat fitting uses the front and side cameras to accurately define knee and ankle trajectories and in conjunction with the cleat jig, fore-foot measuring device and foot scanner, help develop suitable recommendations and countermeasures. These could include cleat wedges, shims, insoles or a change in pedalling style. Asymmetric cleat placement can also be used to correct for leg length differences. 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.
Additional bike - £75
Very few cyclists are satisfied with owning only the one bike, with summer, winter, mountain, fixed wheel, time trial, triathlon and many other machines taking up space in garages, sheds and houses.
Replicating the recommended position on a similar geometry frame with an identical saddle is relatively straightforward, but even small differences will necessitate going through the Dynamic Fit process again.
Bike fit - Extras
DVD - During a typical Dynamic Fit plus Shoe and Cleats we
could take between 6 and 12 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 one of ours or buy and fit one yourself separately.
