Off-Bike Assessment
The off-bike assessment is a crucial part of our bike fitting services. Our physiotherapists will take a detailed musculoskeletal history, understand the type and volume of riding you enjoy, and help set appropriate cycling goals. This comprehensive approach ensures your bike fitting is tailored to your unique needs and objectives.
Cleat Position
Choosing the right cleat position is fundamental to bike fitting. We consider multiple factors, such as your riding style and biomechanics, to determine the optimal cleat position, improving your pedalling efficiency and reducing the risk of injury.
Anthropometric & Biomechanical Assessment
We perform precise measurements, including height, weight, inside leg length, and foot arch height. These measurements allow us to customise your bike fitting to your body’s specific dimensions, ensuring optimal performance and comfort.
On-Bike Assessment
The on-bike assessment analyses your pedalling dynamics in real-time. Our physiotherapists adjust components like saddle height, saddle angle, and handlebar reach, ensuring your bike fitting is perfectly optimised for your performance and comfort.
