Having a bike fit with The Bike Shop Blackpool

The whole point of a bike fit is to make you sit more comfortably (which will let you ride for longer) and to help you ride more efficiently. The transmission between the motor and the bike if you will. and with over 14 years of experience in the cycle trade, fixing, building, selling and riding The Bike Shop Blackpool have a pretty good idea about how a bike should fit. However, we are qualified (officially) in the service now known as professional bike fitting.

The Bike Shop Blackpool offers the Profesional Trek Precision Fit System, with this we can establish your basic physical condition and flexibility telling us the best position for you on your bike. We will fit the bike to you, not you to the bike.

We are all different shapes and sizes with different levels of flexibility so every fit is different.

Here at The Bike Shop Blackpool we use some fresh and very new techniques along with some methods that have been used for years.

The whole process is very personable and thorough and takes about one and a half to two hours to complete.

A part of the bike fit process is working on the cleat position and finding the right insole. These small adjustments are what gets your legs tracking perfectly straight. You can clearly see this when we align the laser to the marker reference points that we setup at different points on your body Small adjustments to the cleat can make all the difference between having an awkward knee jerk hitting the top tube and your legs firing up and down like pistons.

The positions that can be adjusted on the bike itself are saddle height, saddle fore/aft position, stem length (reach), and stem height (drop), these adjustments can be the things that need the least amount of tinkering.

At the end of the process you get a detailed final report of your before and after positions and your exact measurements of the final bike fit,
