Step 1

The first step of any bike fit is to have a discussion on the type of cycling you do, what your goals are and any areas of discomfort on the bike.

We will then carry out a full assessment of pre-existing injuries along with flexibility and core strength tests.

The more interesting the better! We specialize in fitting people with:

  • History of back pain
