BIKE FIT IS A MARRIAGE BETWEEN THE BICYCLE AND THE RIDER…
MAKE THE BIKE FIT THE BODY; NOT THE BODY FIT THE BIKE…
| Introducing East Anglia’s Premier Fitting Service…Research shows you may achieve 2% gain in performance on a £1000 set of carbon wheels which is pretty impressive on its own; however, our dedicated fitting room staff will aim to give you a 10% gain in performance by going back to the basics. |
What do we aim to achieve with a bike fitting session at Greenwheel Cycles? Whether you are new to cycling or compete at the most extreme level, we aim to provide you with a comprehensive assessment and a service that competes with some of the best fitting services in the UK…
During the session, we want you to fully understand what we are trying to achieve and you will leave with a detailed explanation backed up with a personal bicycle setup report for you to take away and keep for future reference. We will also keep your data on our system enabling us to offer you a service tailored to your exact needs when you next visit us.
Our final aim is to make sure that you receive a service unlike any you’ve experienced before and you leave us with a better knowledge and understanding of your riding style and position.
Bike Fit 145 mins – 1 hour (£60 or free to customers purchasing a bike from GreenWheel Cycles) We will start by having a relaxed chat about what you want to acheive from the bike fit session and how you want to improve your position and what aches and pains you might have. Using your bike and our bikefitting.com measuring equipment we will look at your position, riding style and fine tune your bike so that you are in the most power efficient position. We will then record the following:
These measurements will then determine the following:
We will use the above data to achieve a perfect bike fit and we will then use our knowledge and adapt these measurements to your riding style and cycling discipline. Not only will we look at your position, we will also discuss ways in which you can improve your performance by making small changes in your riding style and training methods. This service is aimed at people who are new to cycling or want to obtain the correct position and make the maximum gains in their cycling. |

We will use the above data and our knowledge to achieve the perfect bike fit. During the bike fit we capture your riding style and you can visualize all the changes we make and we can also look at what adaptations to your riding style can be made to increase power output. We will then be able to see whether any changes need to be made in your equipment to make you more comfortable on the bike. Once we have completed the bike fit, we will look at your lifestyle and training methods and see where we can improve and optimise to enable you to reach new levels. All the way through the session we make sure you are fully aware of what we are doing and why certain changes are being made. This service is aimed at people who want to take their cycling to the next level or for people who have reached a plateau in their training and want to perfect their position and seek advice on how to move on.
We are now taking the bike fit up a level; not only do we want to perfect your position but we want you to hit your targets and move onto the next level in your cycling, whether your discipline is road, time trialing or triathlon. We start with the interview process to establish what you want to achieve from the bike fit and what targets you have in the coming months in your chosen cycling discipline. We will carry out a full bike fit using your own bike, our bikefitting.com fitting equipment and our motion capture technology. We will then record the following: |

This is the ultimate where we will spend time with you to obtain the perfect position and also spend some time on the road having a one to one chat about your positioning and riding style so that we can come back to the fitting centre fully aware of what we need to do to improve your riding style and position.
We will start by having a consultation over coffee at GreenWheel Cycles making sure we are aware of what problems you are experiencing and finding a little more background information about you. The next stage is a 1 – 1.5 hour bike road ride so we can assess you and watch you ride to see any faults you may have picked up and assess your riding style. Then it’s time for shower and lunch at GreenWheel Cycles.
After lunch we will begin the fitting session using all the Bikefitting.com measuring equipment and perform a full physio assessment to make certain your new position is the perfect match between bike and rider and suits your cycling discipline perfectly. We will record the following:
