Please follow carefully these
instructions on how to prepare for your bike fitting or
sizing session.
Coming prepared to your
session will ensure the success of your fit
and will
avoid having to return for an additional session - which
may incur extra costs to you.
Here you will find instructions for
both bike fitting on your
current bicycle and
new bike sizing/custom geometry
design.
Please follow the
instructions for your specific session.

BIKE FITTING
(on your existing bicycle) |
|
|
 |
Clean up your
bike and make sure it's in working order |
 Find
your route now and plan ahead for traffic. |
 |
Map now the studio location (click
here for Google Maps) and plan your drive
and time en-route. Please be on time. Not late. Not
early. Just on time. |
 |
 |
Bring everything you
normally ride with:
Bike, 1 pair of shoes, shorts/bibs, jersey,
socks (if you use them), etc. Imagine you
are going out for your typical bike ride or
race You can bring more shoes if you wish -
there will be an extra charge for additional
shoes and cleats set up. You don't
need to bring gloves or a helmet (unless
aero).
DO NOT WEAR BAGGY
shorts, CAPRIS or loose clothing!
For
TRI/TT AERO only: bring
your aero helmet (if you have it; if you
don't we
have a Limar Aero Helmet to use for aero
testing).
|
 |
Check the
cleats on your shoes (skip if riding with flat
pedals). This is the most important step in your
preparation! If your cleats are WORN OUT
(see examples on the right side)
OR
If your cleats are

|
 |
|
|
PURCHASE ONLY
THESE CLEATS:
Look Red color or
Shimano Yellow Tip cleats (no other color,
please!)
|
NOTE:
Do NOT install the new cleats. We will do that for you.
Seeing your current cleats position helps during the pre-fit
analysis and the diagnosis of your current fit. |
|
 |
 |
Bring any proprietary parts
and/or specialty tools
your bike may require:
Proprietary stems and seatposts.
Typically, if you have an advanced aero bike
-road or Tri- with integrated aero front-end, you'll
need the highly-proprietary and
bike model-specific parts. These
are parts that we cannot stock.
STEM replacements if you have an
oversized steerer (Giant Overdrive, Scott, Cannondale
Lefty) or an aero bike (Specialized Venge Vias, Cervelo, Scott, Orbea, etc).
Some of these are included with your new bike, some
are not off the shelf components
and may require ordering through an
authorized brand dealer.
PROPRIETARY TOOLS (typically needed for
some aero seatposts on TRI bikes or Di2/eletctronic
shifting systems)
AEROBARS EXTENSIONS & RISERS and bolt kit spare parts (typically
riser shims, aero pads risers, etc.)
SEATPOST SHIMS for bikes with an integrated seatmast (Giant, Trek, etc.)
CONTACT your bike shop where you
purchased the bike if you don't have a bags
with spare parts for your proprietary or
specialty components. Tell them you are
getting a bike fit and ask them for any
specialty parts you may need (like seapost
shims, aero bars shims, aero stems of
different size and rise, oversize stem, etc).
Here are some popular brands that use
specialty parts: Trek (Tri bikes),
Cannondale (MTB), Giant overdrive (Road and MTB),
Specialized (Tri and Vias), Cervelo (Tri and Road), Scott
(Tri and Road), Look (Tri, Road, MTB), Orbea (Tri and
Road), Kuota (Tri),
etc.
NOTE: we cannot stock specialty tools
or proprietary parts. They are often
one-off. If you don't have them, we'll work
with you to acquire them. We will have to
break the bike fit in two session to
first determine the size of the
component and then do the final fitting
after the component is installed. There may be
additional charges for the 2nd session.
|
 NOTE:
You
may bring any spare parts you have.
Stems
and seatposts are
the most commonly replaced items.
We have stock, but if you have
your own parts and they happen to be the right size, we can use
them - and it will save you.
You MUST bring
specialty parts -or we'll have
to break the bike fit into 2 sessions. These
include: oversized stems (Cannondale Lefty, Giant
Contact Overdrive),
proprietary aero stems (Cervelo, Specialized Vias, Scott
Foil and Plasma, etc.); integrated seatmast shims (Giant, Trek); aero bar extension shims
(3T, FSA, Vision, Profile Design, etc.) |
Aerobar risers like these are proprietary to
each brand. They should come with your new Tri/TT
bike in a separate bag or box. Ask your bike
shop if you didn't get these parts with your new
Tri/TT bike.
A complete aerobar riser kit like this also
should come with your new Tri/TT bike. Make sure
to have it and to bring it to the bike fit. |
