Bike Fitting
Professional bike fitting for road, triathlon and mountain bikes in Calgary.
The only discomfort you should feel while riding a bike is the effort you have to make to keep it going!
Bike Fitting
Having a bike that fits you properly will make the most of your current abilities and help maximize the benefits of your training. I have a strong personal interest in bike fitting as I do not have proportions which fit stock bikes well. I am continuously searching for fit solutions so that my clients can ride comfortably and efficiently. I am a certified Specialized BG bike fitter, have a degree in Kinesiology, 20 years experience in bike fitting, wind tunnel experience and I care!
My aim is to make the bike fit process interactive and educational for my clients. At the end of the bike fit you will be more aware of why we make various adjustments to the bike and the repercussions of those adjustments. You will be better able to assess what to do about issues which may develop as your body changes over time. I have successfully fit people's bikes to their various proportions, disabilities and physical limitations which helped resolve issues of pain and discomfort in too many joints to mention here.
I will put you through a detailed physical assessment, ask you about your goals and cycling/injury history and then we will start the actual fitting on the bike. At the end of the fitting session I will provide you with a detailed list of your new bike measurements so that you can refer to it later or set up another bike to match the one we do the fit on.
I strongly believe the bike fit is not done when you leave the fitting. There may be issues which arise after riding the bike for 3, 4 and 5 hours which don't show themselves during the duration of the bike fit process. I always encourage my clients to contact me if any fit related issues arise so we can talk them through and find an appropriate solution. Fortunately, with the process of bike fitting becoming more scientific, the adjustments which may need to be made after the fact are typically limited to a just few millimetres.
