Why Get a Bike Fit? Frankly, we want you to enjoy cycling as much as you possibly can. Many Cyclists have fallen head of heals in love with our sport without the benefit of properly fitted equipment or instruction we find common in other sports like golf, tennis, and skiing. Cycling involves a unique interaction of rider and equipment; the bike should feel like an extension of our body. Because cycling is a learned skill, we may not always choose the best position, just like we might not naturally grip a golf club properly, or carve a ski turn without being taught how to do it. Balance Point has the equipment and the training to help you get started the right way, or to improve upon your current fit.
All you’ll need to bring to your fitting is your bike, shoes, orthotics, favourite bike shorts, H2O bottle, Jersey. If your are experiencing neck pain or hand pain bring your helmet and/or glasses and/or gloves. We will start with an in depth interview to highlight your goals, past injuries, chronic problems and your expectations of your bike and how it fits. We’ll then measure aspects of your physiology like your range of motion, flexibility, and discrepancies. This is done so we can further customize your fit to how your body is built. Then we’ll take a very in depth look at your cleats and start the process of setting up your foot pedal interface. Finally, your get to hop on your bike and start warming up. While you’re doing this I will be taking some preliminary measurements with the Body Geometry Video analysis software to see how you have been riding. From here we move through the process of the fine tuning of your bike to fit your body. We’ll also be talking constantly about technique and posture on the bike to find more power and to prevent injuries. Using the Body Geometry motion capturing software; we make the final dynamic adjustments to your bike at speed and under load. With the Body Geometry software we can Isolate your every move, frame by frame, to find that most powerful, comfortable, and aerodynamic position. You'll ride at race pace and the adjustments will apply directly, to truly know how the bike will feel on race day. Included in this fitting process is a laser analysis of your pedal stroke and computrainer spin scan analysis. Once that process is complete, your bike will be measured and cataloged in every way so your bike set up is repeatable for future reference. You will get a copy of your measurement sheet with notes on your fit and things that may improve your fit or technique further and I’ll also give you a picture of you in your new position with your actual dynamic measurements. Using Body Geometry and Computrainer we offer the Gold Standard Bike fitting Technology. This Dynamic fitting process is the same used for top Elite/Pro/Olympic athletes, but is applicable for every cyclist.
*The 2D Bike Fitting does not include dynamic video analysis, spin scan, or foot-pedal analysis.
