A good bike fit is critical

A good bike fit is critical to performance; worse still, a poorly fitted bike, if unchecked, can lead to injuries. That's why a bike fit is one of the services at MC Cyclery together with Phil from Connect2Perform.

No matter the bike, terrain, or gear, you are always pushing into the wind. Therefore, to be successful on the bike and to run well off it (if you are doing triathlons), you must be comfortable, efficient, and aerodynamic. 

That's why a good bike fit is essential. It not only prevents injury, but also optimises your body which leads to better efficiency, increased power, and performance. 

To ensure you get the most from your bike fit, we take a holistic approach that considers you, your needs, and your bike. 

The Fit off the Bike

Before you even step on the bike, we provide a pre-fit questionnaire and an assessment of how you move - this allows us to understand any current issues.

Then, using our Velogic Fit 3D Motion camera system, we measure your limb angles and stability on the bike. Here we focus on the three main contact points on the bike: the pedals, where we assess shoes and adjust cleats; the saddle, where we ensure the correct height, position, and size; and finally, the cockpit, which we set up for maximum comfort and aerodynamics. 

Next steps

Whether you are road riding, racing, or competing in triathlons, and you are looking to make gains on the bike, you should think fit first.

Don't hesitate to reach out to us or drop in to the MC Clubhouse for a chat with Phil.
