ThE PROCESS
Review and Consultation
Our bike fitting service starts with a review of your current bike set-up, coupled with a consultation of your general background, lifestyle, needs, and requirements for your fit.
Assessment and Measurements
We’ll then take some physical measurements of you and your bike, and perform a series of basic functional tests that help us make informed decisions during your fit session
Push the pedals
We’ll then get your riding on a static trainer so we can assess and discuss your current position and riding style, reviewing the key contact points.
Adjustments
We then discuss our findings and the changes required to improve your comfort, stability, or aerodynamic performance in keeping with your individual objectives. We’ll then set about making the changes, reassessing, and fine-tuning your position as we go to ensure we reach the optimum set-up for you.
Get Riding
Finally, once you’re happy with your new position, you can ride away comfortable and confident. All changes can take a period of adjustment, so we’ll record all your fit data for future reference. If after a few weeks you need to discuss any further tweaks, simply get in touch.
TEstimonials
Phil Aspinall
“After 18 months into triathlon, I decided to go for a bike fit with Paul. Having done a lot of my own research I felt I had an okay starting bike position but after a couple of hours with Paul, he managed to find a position that was more comfortable, sustainable, and definitely more aerodynamic. Paul clearly explained any changes that were being made and the reasons why each of these changes would help me in both the bike and running off the bike.
The improvement in position can be shown from the bike splits at Oulton Park Duathlon. Knocking 4 minutes of the time from Oct 2021 to April 2022.
Would highly recommend anybody looking to improve their position to go and see Paul for a bike fitting.”
Dan Harbidge
“Very thorough and professional bike fit service. Understandable explanations were given throughout, and my feedback on achieving a fit that was an optimal blend of comfort and performance was listened to and acted upon. I would definitely recommend”
Patrick McKeown
“Fantastic, professional bike fitting service, with a full review of baseline position, cleat, saddle, and cockpit positioning, supported by photo and video analysis. Paul was thorough, informative, and keen to understand how the fit could be tailored to my own personal preferences, whilst providing insight into various options for an optimal position for me.
A fantastic service, I would highly recommend”
Lewis Robinson
“Had a bike fitting with Paul. In a matter of 2 hours, I feel like I’m in control and have way more confidence in my positioning on the TT bars. Paul’s knowledge is second to none and he spared no detail in helping me fully understand each component of the bike and my personal positioning.”
Sachin Goenka
“Top-notch level triathlon coaches. I had a TT fit with Paul today who through solid knowledge, precision and patience got me sorted with a really decent fit which I can build on. Can’t recommend these guys enough if you wanna step up your tri game.”
Paul Harbidge
“Following my fit, I’ve had the longer extensions fitted to my Tri bars and elbow pads swapped over as identified and discussed with Paul. It’s made a massive difference to my comfort and I’m able to hold an aero position for longer. Thanks for your input. A simple tweak but I’m sure it’s going to make a huge difference”
Chris Bradley
“Paul is extremely knowledgeable, thorough, and meticulous. Exactly what you need to get the perfect bike fit. The changes to my bike have made a huge difference. Such a better ride now.”
