WHAT TO EXPECT

Total Endurnace Bike Fit Process

1. Initial Consultation

The first part of the bike fitting appointment involves us getting to know you and discussing your goals, cycling history and any current areas of discomfort or pain.

2. Initial Assessment

We start with you on the bike to have a general look to see how you sit on the bike, from here we will look at your cleat position, saddle height and saddle set back, and take some initial measurement of your current position on the bike.

3. Adjustments

We then fine tune your position based on the angles of your hip, knee, ankle and back position. During the fit we will adjust saddle, handlebars and stem as required to get you inside your own unique bike fit window.

4. Riding Pain Free

Following your fit, you'll experience greater comfort and efficiency on the bike. If you encounter any discomfort or need further adjustments, we’re here to fine-tune your setup to ensure everything feels just right.

Common Bike fitting issues we resolve

If you are suffering from any kind of pain while cycling, we will work with you to find the root cause and ensure your bike is set up correctly.

  • Knee, Back, Neck, or Hand Pain: Often, persistent cycling knee pain, lower back pain cycling, or numb hands on road bike are direct results of an improper bike setup. Through precise adjustments to your road bike saddle position, handlebar reach, and cleat alignment, we can significantly ease these aches, stiffness, and discomfort, especially on your longer rides around Scotland.

  • Loss of Power & Cycling Efficiency: If your road bike position isn't optimized, you're inadvertently wasting valuable energy and sacrificing speed. Our meticulous fine-tuning of your road bike setup helps you to transfer power more effectively through the pedals, boosting your speed and performance with considerably less effort and fatigue.

  • Saddle Sores & Pressure Points: Persistent saddle sores on road bike rides or uncomfortable pressure points are clear indicators of an incorrect saddle height, tilt, or the wrong saddle choice for your anatomy. We'll expertly dial in your road bike saddle setup to relieve pressure, improve overall ride comfort, and help you enjoy miles of pain-free cycling.

  • Numbness in Hands, Feet, or Perineal Area: Experiencing numb hands road bike, numb feet cycling, or discomfort in the saddle area signals poor weight distribution or incorrect positioning. Our comprehensive road bike fitting service meticulously resolves these issues by adjusting all your contact points, ensuring even pressure distribution, optimal circulation, and a more connected feel with your bike
