Existing Bike Fit

If you are completing an Existing Bike Fit, we review your position with you and provide recommendations on changes you can make to your existing bike to help you achieve the position we have established. If you choose, we can make some or all of these changes to your bike immediately following your fit to guarantee that the position on your bike matches the position established on the Size Cycle. You will receive a digital workbook that documents your position and technique before and after your fitting and includes all the key measurements needed to establish your position on any bike.

2-3 hours. $275.

$100 of this service may be credited towards the purchase of a new bike at anytime. You may order the additional information and materials from our New Bike Fit for $100 at anytime in the future.

Fitting Steps

Not all fit systems are the same or produce consistent results. We pride ourselves on viewing rider positioning scientifically and using a system that we have developed through our training, background and experience. We offer attention to detail that is found in only a very small number of places in the country and we offer an array of services that is unparalleled in any other single location.

1) Comprehensive Interview

Every Fit Werx fit starts with a detailed interview that covers everything from your cycling goals and riding habits, to injuries as well as existing problems with your current bike fit.

2) Limb and Skeletal Measurements

By taking skeletal measurements, we determine starting points and gain knowledge on how your body is proportioned. It is important to note that these measurements are designed to give us general perspective as to how you are proportioned and do not directly determine the end riding position.

3) Range of Motion and Stability Analysis

We assess your range of motion, flexibility and stability in key cycling muscle groups so that we can properly align your body and build a position around your individual capabilities and needs. This helps us maximize your strength, comfort and efficiency on the bike.

4) Biomechanical Alignment Assessment and Cleat Alignment

Strong buildings are built on strong foundations. A good fit is not any different. By assessing your skeletal structure for functional and structural limb length differences and reviewing the dynamics of your foot and leg biomechanics, we can stabilize your feet and legs for greater power, comfort and injury prevention. Often we will recommend custom cycling footbeds and cant wedges to accommodate for pronation/supination and forefoot varus/valgus. We make sure to put your feet, legs, pedals and shoes into the most aligned and powerful position possible.

5) Digital Motion Analysis Size Cycle Positioning Session

When used properly, the infinitely adjustable Serotta Size Cycle is the best fit tool available. Modern video analysis technology makes it even better by allowing you to see your riding technique and key positions and angles during and after your fitting. In this step, we place you on the Size Cycle and work with you to build your position.

Computerized motion analysis technology, from companies like Dartfish and CompuTrainer, is used to make sure your body is aligned precisely, to record your position and key angles, and to review the efficiency of your pedal stroke. We also discuss and demonstrate muscle recruitment patterns, riding techniques and drills that can help you better understand and maximize your pedaling economy. The end result is a position that is as efficient and comfortable as possible. To read more about motion analysis for bicycle fitting, click here.
