Step one - Initial consultation
- A detailed discussion to ascertain your riding and training goals and a full medical assessment regarding your previous and current injuries, medical health, medications and nature of your current discomforts/injuries.
- This is often the most important aspect of the bike fit as it guides the remaining steps.
Step two - Physio examination
- Much like the initial physical examination in our physiotherapy appointments. This will help us to formulate a rehab plan and identify diagnosis and cause of injuries.
- Please see our Physiotherapy page to find out more.
Step three - On bike examination + adjustments
- Time to get onto the bike! You will spend a little bit of time riding at a comfortable speed and then at a 'tempo' speed - i.e a speed you could sustain for an hour but no more.
- Each of these speeds will be recorded using our camera.
- Some key measurements will be identified and we will identify a few areas to start with. this involves a little bit of tinkering, getting on and off the bike to assess, change and review
- We will then repeat the filming process and review to identify how the new position feels.
- This will all be recorded in the assessment proforma which will be sent to you after the session.
Step four - Review, exercise prescription and recommendations
- We will revisit the performance testing each month to see how you're progressing, because if we're not assessing, then we're guessing!
What we expect from you
- To minimise time disruption, please ensure your bike and cleats are clean and in full working condition.
- Please ensure that any moveable parts such as cleat/seat tube/handle bar bolts are lubricated - a seized bolt could derail a session!
- Bring your usual riding kit including any other pairs of shoes you use.
Our promise to you
- If you aren't completely satisfied with the outcome of the fit, we want to ensure that you are happy and comfortable and we will do whatever we can to achieve this.
- A complementary follow up bike fit is provided on advanced plans.
