Performance Bike Fitting

There are many reasons why all cyclists need a bike fit - the key ones being optimising performance & minimising the risk of injury.  David is highly experienced in bike fitting & has conducted fits for all types of cyclists as a Sports Physiotherapist for over a decade.   Your bike fit is one of the most important investments you can make in your cycling experience.  Here are a couple of reasons to consider a bike fit:

• To improve performance via improved power, aerodynamics, or muscle mechanics
• Muscle mechanics means placing your muscles in their optimal length-tension relationship, which enables peak power production in a cycling context
• Improved posture - which allows optimisation of muscle mechanics, power delivery & breathing
• To eliminate discomfort or pain
• It's simply cheaper to fit your bike properly in the first place than to become injured & have to fix a preventable problem
• Your competitors are properly fit to their bikes. You need to be if you are to compete on level terms with them

An initial bike fit  takes approx. 2hrs:

KNOW THE ATHLETE & THEIR MUSCULOSKELETAL SYSTEM FIRST: 

• Individual measurements such as anthropometry (arm, leg, torso lengths), flexibility & strength are taken

UNDERSTAND & TEST THE INTERACTION BETWEEN CYCLIST & BIKE:

• Both your bike and your kinematics (joint angles / motion) are measured & tested
• Component selection is advised and may be trialled (for example your saddle)
• Your position is adjusted with respect to your musculoskeletal capabilities we measured, your cycling goals, and in conjunction with real-time feedback provided by the athlete
• A digital report is sent for your records (handy to have when travelling to events)
