PERFECTING YOUR RIDE POSITION
Why is a fitting important?
Improve Comfort
A good fit improves your comfort in the saddle and reduces pressure on your arms, neck and back.
Boost Power and Efficiency
A good fit boosts your strength in the pedal stroke, making you faster and more efficient.
Protect from Injury
Because of cycling’s repetitive movements, improper alignment can lead to injury. A proper fit helps reduce this risk.

- If a new bike is the goal, discussion on wants, needs, desires, category preferences (tire clearance, etc.), budget, and much more
- Either use your current bike to see you on the bike and/or get your on the automated GURU bike fit machine where we examine geometry, body angles and make detailed adjustments as needed
- Discussion of new bike options (if a new bike is the goal) or new components to make the fit more comfortable like saddle or bars and stem
- CAD drawing is an optional (free) add-on with any new bike purchase, showing your ideal bike geometry, regardless of brand
- Basic quote for any new components needed, or additional work that needs to be completed (bar re-wrapping is a free add-on if bar tape is salvageable)
