PERFECTING YOUR RIDE POSITION
Why is a bike fit 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.
Blacksmith Cycle Bike Fit Process
Discussion of past riding, physical history and goals of the bike fit
Bio-mechanical analysis (flexibility, strength, leg-length discrepancy)
Detailed measurement of current bike geometry fit points
Examination of current bike position, body angles, cleat position, etc.
Move to the automated GURU bike fit machine
Examination of geometry, body angles with adjustments as needed
3D saddle mapping analysis option confirms final position
Final output is an "ideal" bike position
Detailed measurement of "updated" bike geometry fit points
Suggested alterations to original bike position discussed, implemented
Conversations re: 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 as an included 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.
Purchase your bike fit on-line and please schedule yourself using the calendar below.
A bike fit would also make a great gift for those hard to buy for cyclist.
