This is our core fitting service - It's the one to choose if you want to bring your current bike with you to get it set up optimally for performance and fit (we'll even let you bring two bikes for no extra charge as we're very nice people). Fittings take place in Stroud, Gloucestershire.
The Total fitting includes every aspect of the "Introductory fitting" PLUS We will apply all the measurement data we generate to your current bike(s) and will work with you to identify the sorts of changes needed to your setup and equipment to acheivement optimal fit. We can even carry out the changes to componentry if required.
PLUS We will assess you riding your bike on a stationery trainer in our video suite and will focus on identifiying the key elements of effective positioning with you. This is also a fascinating process to go through! You will leave the session with clear and detailed measurement diagrams and a specific description of any suggested equipment changes and positional questions that you might want to explore further.
You will need to bring your bike and shoes and please be prepared to do some light riding on a stationery trainer. Changing facilities are available and we'll supply drinks.
Please note - Component changes might need to be booked into our workshop on a seperate date. If we aren't too busy we might be able to do it there and then! There is a charge of course for labour and the cost of any new parts to be fitted. Most jobs take under an hour!
We usually book up 7-10 days in advance (several weeks in advance for weekend slots) so you might want to contact us prior to purchase to check availability.

Before and After: Rider is an experienced triathlete experiencing lower back discomfort and difficulty staying on tri-bars ("Initial Position" in video). Through the bike fitting measuring process we established the optimal bike dimensions and asssisted the rider to adopt a body position that enabled the most effective cycling. (For this rider this involved raising the saddle and lengthening the reach - "Reach and Saddle Correct" in video). We then looked at back position and also the rider position on tri bars.
It was clear that the riders setup/position was resulting in impact between torso and thigh on the pedal upstroke (a very common occurence - see video section "Initial Aero -leg/torso impact" ) We adjusted the rider position and bike setup accordingly. The final segment of video shows the rider in an effective position. ("Final Aero"). Towards the end she drops back into her original position for a bit of a joke - illustrates really well the "before and after"! (Many thanks Helen for letting us use your fitting video!)
