BIKE FIT · HOVE STUDIO
A fit built around you.
A 3–4 hour fit, worked from the ground up to fix discomfort, prevent injury and unlock your full potential.
MY APPROACH
Three contact points, in the right order.
You touch the bike in three places. Get the foundations right and everything above them falls into place, so every fit works through them in order.
01
Feet
Shoes, insoles and cleats working together as one.
02
Saddle
An evenly weighted, stable pelvis.
03
Hands
Ergonomics dialled in to make controlling the bike effortless.
YOUR FIT
Your fit, step by step.
1
Coffee and a conversation
It starts with a coffee and a chat about your fitness, injury and bike history, and the pains or issues you want to fix.
2
Physical assessment
Your mobility and movement patterns, so I understand how your body will work with the bike.
3
Feet - Shoes - Cleats
A foot assessment for size and shape, and cleats aligned specifically to your foot, with a custom FootBalance insole if needed (added extra).
4
Onto the bike
Finding the right balance point between you and the bike, by adjusting the rest of your contact points to suit how you interact with it.
5
Pressure mapping
With pressure mapping guiding the rest of the fit, I find your ideal position across all three contact points, unlocking your full performance and comfort.
6
Your fit report
A full report of your fit, including any recommendations for your bike, kit or riding, sent to you as a PDF by email.
