Frequently
Asked Questions
Who needs a professional bike fit?
Every rider benefits from a proper fit regardless of experience level or how often they ride. If you experience any discomfort on the bike, have recently changed components, switched bikes, or returned from injury, a fit is especially important. Even riders with no pain can gain measurable performance improvements from an optimized position.
How long does a bike fitting session take?
A full bike fitting session typically takes between 90 minutes and 2.5 hours depending on the complexity of your needs and how many adjustments are required. We do not rush the process. Every change is tested and confirmed before we move on.
Do I need to bring my own bike?
Yes. We perform all fits on your actual bike so the adjustments reflect your real-world riding setup. If you are buying a new bike and want a fit before purchase to determine the correct size, we can discuss options when you contact us.
What if I need new components as a result of the fit?
In some cases, a fit will reveal that a component change would significantly improve your position. Common examples include a shorter or longer stem, a different saddle model, or cleat wedges for leg length discrepancy. We stock a range of fit-related components in the shop and can source others on request. Component costs are separate from the fitting fee.
