Rider Assessment Interview

Prior to making any changes to the bike, I will ask series of questions aimed at helping me identify who you are as a rider. Questions such as training, racing, goals, aspirations, favorite place to ride and so on. Background information on injury history, current bike fit and or gear issues will also be discussed in detail. 

This information will help guide me during the alignment phase (changing the position of moveable parts) where changes that are not covered by the “Bike Fit Solution” and are considered judgement calls e.g. handlebar above horizontal and handlebar rotation and hood tilt/angle.

Anatomical Examination

Following the rider assessment conversation a thorough examination of the 3 body segments will take place:  Leg, Trunk and Foot.  Each of these segments will be measured in detail. In addition to the anatomical measurements a hamstring flexibility test will be conducted. The data captured during the anatomical assessment will be recorded and entered to Joule Cycling’s bike fitting software, licensed through WN Precision Bike Fitting technology.

Bike Geometry Examination

Prior to the fit, the bike’s geometry and components will be researched and then the data will be double checked by hand (tape measure).  The data captured during the bike geometry assessment will be recorded and entered to Joule Cycling’s bike fitting software, licensed through WN Precision Bike Fitting technology.

Bike Fit Solution and Alignment Process

The data captured during anatomical and geometry examination will be transferred to WN Precision Bike Fitting technology and a “Bike Fit Solution” will be generated. The “Bike Fit Solution” is executed in a sequence of steps as follows:

1. Saddle Fore/Aft
2. Saddle Height
3. Saddle Tilt
4. Handlebar Effective Body Extension
5. Handlebar Above Horizontal
6. Handlebar Rotation
7. Handlebar Brake/Hood Tilt and Angle
8. Cleat Alignment (Angle-Longitudinal-Horizontal)

Visual Assessment and Pedal Stroke Instruction

The last step in the bike fit process is to conduct a visual assessment of the rider on the bike which is mounted to a smart trainer. The rider will warmup then complete a series of hard efforts all the while I will be assessing body position (leg extension, arm extension, torso angle, cleat position and so on). As the assessment progresses, I will provide instruction on pedal stroke and method(s) for improving the stroke (everyone can benefit from pedal stoke practice) bike fit as it relates to efficiency, power output and comfort.   

Finishing Touch

At the end of the bike fit I will mark saddle fore/aft and height location with a small and discrete sticker. Further I will provide a custom CAD drawing (emailed in PNG format) of your bike with all bike fit measurements for reference.

Additional Bikes

After completing the initial bike fit (the first bike fit that includes the measurement process) any bike that you wish to have aligned to match the fit solution will be 75$.

Anatomical Examination

Capturing measurements will not be necessary as the data was stored for reference during the initial bike fit.

Bike Geometry Examination

Prior to the fit, the bike’s geometry and components will be researched and then the data will be double checked by hand (tape measure).  The data captured during the bike geometry assessment will be recorded and entered to Joule Cycling’s bike fitting software, licensed through WN Precision Bike Fitting technology.

Bike Fit Solution and Alignment Process

The data captured during the initial bike fit which captured and recorded anatomical and geometry examination will be transferred to WN Precision Bike Fitting technology and a new “Bike Fit Solution” will be generated. The “Bike Fit Solution” is executed in a sequence of steps as follows:

1. Saddle Fore/Aft
2. Saddle Height
3. Saddle Tilt
4. Handlebar Effective Body Extension

SERVICE:  An in depth service conducted visturally with the assistance of LEOMO Motion Performace Indicators, LEOMO Live Video Sync, BikeCad, Ergon Cleat Symmetry device and multiple other bike fitting tools to complete a full bike fit alignment.  

The process as state is in depth and for all intensive puprposes is a equivalent to a basic i.e. cliff notes version bike fitting apprenticeship.  The process in a nut shell includes me reviewing the LEOMO TYPE S MPI device data from field tests, bike fit alignment recommendation for each field test, guidance on how to align the bike, setup and use LEOMO device via email, phone and or facetime.  USPS shipping/insurance included in price (return label will be emailed)

TOOLS: LEOMO TYPE S Head Unit / 5 Motion Performance Indicators, Ergon Cleat Alignment Tool and Correlation Tool, Laser Level, Spirit Level, Tape Measure, FIX-IT sticks, Wall Mount Measuring Tape, Saddle Height Stickers
