Our bike fits usually take about 1.5 to 2 hours. We sometimes achieve the desired result in less time than this, occasionally we may run slightly over when multiple changes are made to some bikes. We factor in time to swap saddles/stems and move shifters around with maybe a simple bar swap.
Chainsets and Integrated/one piece handlebar and stem combos will need to be booked in to the workshop at a later date to make any recommended changes.This is seperate from the bike fit due to the time required and the nature of work needed.
What to bring:
- Your current bicycle in a clean state (unless we are using our Calfee jig for a custom frame build)
- Cycling kit (bibshorts /tight fitting cycling jersey) if you are cycling in to see us please bring a spare change of kit with you.
- Cycling shoes -If you do not have shoes and are looking at purchasing some we would ask you to come in 30 mins early to try some on. We will set the cleats up during the fit.
If you currently use flat pedals/shoes we are unable to do a more thorough fit due to the uncertainty of foot postion being set without being clipped in. We can proceed but it will be with a less comprehensive fit but results will still be improved upon with limits.
-During the fit we may recommend alternative shoe options to your current pair if they are a poor fit or issues arise . We would not generally have time to go into these in depth at the time as we will be using as much time as possible to keep the fit focused on position where possible.
Notes:
Sometimes we may need to fit new set of cleats to your shoes before we get in too deep . A badly worn set can throw the customers mesurements on the bike out so its best to catch this early.
Sometimes we recommend the need to make additional purchases such as components to aid in position such as handlebars, stems, cranks or shoes to meet the fit recommendation. We will give you options during the fit on the day and you will have the choice to purchase these items as we go along . If you choose not to add these recommendations then understand we are not able to get the ideal fit on the day and may require additional setup later on when required.
