The purpose of a proper bike fit is to address the biomechanical discrepancies that arise when trying to combine an adjustable fixed machine; the bike and the complex anatomical differences of the human body of each individual on the movement patterns which can lead to overuse injuries and wasted energy.  Wasted energy and overuse injuries may be a result of poor flexibility, poor core stability, improper cleat alignment and foot mechanics, incorrect bike geometry or size, and/or improper positioning on the bike requiring the right amount of compromise between both the body and bike.    

Dynamic Positioning

Utilizing a Velotron, Size Cycle (coming soon!), or a Computrainer with your own bike; we are able to see changes in pedal technique and power before and after specific changes have been made to the bike.

Video Analysis 2D or 3D

Vicon™ 3D motion capture technology allows us to analyze your cycling movements in real time. Unlike conventional video analysis, 10 infrared cameras capture your cycling motion in 3D allowing for an in-depth analysis of your position on the saddle and your movement patterns.  This real-time data allows us to analyze what is happening immediately after a change has been made to your position on the bike and its impact on performance while maintaining comfort to prevent injuries.

Dartfish™ is used in both the 3D and 2D packages for advanced 2D qualitative video analysis.

Cleat Alignment – Last but not least!

The pedals are the primary site of energy transfer; therefore cleat alignment is important to make certain that the foot contact to the pedal and knee tracking are aligned properly minimizing energy leaks and stress on the body.    A change in cleat position, although small, can be the difference between knees that ache and experiencing an increase in power.  In addition, addressing foot mechanics with custom footbeds, leg length discrepancies with lifts, knee tracking with wedges, and physical therapy for musculoskeletal imbalances, we can provide you with the means to make sure energy leaks are reduced to a minimum.
