As one season ends and another is just on the horizon, this transitional time of year often sees riders assessing their equipment and making potential changes. Often this comes in the form of upgrading to an all new rig as a result of team deals/discounts or simply just treating one’s self to a new rig to start the season off fresh. And along with switching to a new bike always comes the potential issue of making sure it gets set up ideally . Often times old reference measurements get lost or forgotten, making it a difficult and frustrating process.
A proper bike fit is a useful tool to riders of all abilities. It will ensure comfort and enjoyment, while maximizing your efficiency and performance. So whether you are a recreational cyclist or a professional, why leave your fit to chance? Take the time this fall to schedule an appointment to come in for a professional fit. I do a full fit including cleat position, seat height, saddle set-back, reach and front end drop. Each athlete’s goals, riding style, comfort, flexibility, and injury history is taken into account with every fitting so that the end result is a custom fit that is tailored to their specific needs.
By taking care of the fit now, any adjustments made can be slowly adapted to through the off-season before the time of big base miles and spring riding are upon us. By the time they roll around, you’ll have the peace of mind knowing you’re set into your ideal position and ready to comfortably tackle your goals.
