Bicycle Fitting Services Provided by Our Dealers
Independent bicycle dealers love riding and helping others experience
the joy of cycling. We want to help you find a dealer that offers the bicycle
fitting services you need.
We provide the following descriptions to assist you in your
dealer selection. At the same time, we do not guarantee the quality or level
of service you will receive. We encourage you to talk with a bicycle dealer
about your bicycle fitting needs and their services before making your decision.
Bicycle Fitting
This dealer can help you find the right bicycle for your body size. Services
include a Quick Fit for recreational and mountain cyclists or a Performance
Fit for advanced cyclists. They can also Retrofit a bicycle you
already own. Regardless of which fitting you choose, this dealer can help
you find a safe, developmental starting position which can be adjusted in
small increments depending on your riding style and goals.
Cleat Alignment
This dealer can analyze your pedal stroke to help you find the most efficient
alignment of your cleats/pedals. Our Rotational Adjustment Devices,
also known as RADs, allow the dealer to detect and adjust your cleats/pedals
to your most natural position. Adjustments are made in your cleat alignment
to eliminate stresses on your knee, hip or ankle and the possibility of injury
resulting from improper alignment of the cleat/pedal system.
Fine Tuning
This dealer can analyze your weight distribution over your saddle and handlebars
to give you optimal performance. He or she has the experience to make adjustments
that will improve the handling of your bicycle. This dealer has a
Fit Kit Systems' Fit Stem. The nonrideable Fit Stem is used in store and the rideable Fit Stem can be rented and installed on your steerer. This
enables you to take your bicycle on the road and experiment with your stem
angle and length to find the most aerodynamic position while maintaining comfort
and power output.
