At Greenwheel Cycles we are aware that bike fitting is a marriage between the bicycle and the rider. We will make the bike fit the body, not the body fit the bike.
Whether you are new to cycling or you compete at the most extreme level, we aim to provide you with a comprehensive assessment. During the bike fitting peterborough 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. We offer three levels of bike fitting.
Bike Fit Level 1 | 01733 305133
This usually takes between 45 minutes and 1 hour
(£60 or free to customers purchasing a bike from GreenWheel Cycles)
We start by having a relaxed chat about what you want to achieve from the bike fitting peterborough session, 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:
Inseam | Torso | Arm length
These measurements will then determine the following:
Correct frame size | Saddle height | Saddle fore/aft | Stem length
We will use the above data to achieve a perfect bike fittiong 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.
Bike Fit Level 2 | 01733 305133

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 fitting peterborough, 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.
