-
The right riding position boosts comfort, efficiency, and reduces injury risk. If you cycle regularly or plan to, and haven’t had a fit, or experience any discomfort when cycling, a Physio Bike Fit would likely benefit you. Feel free to call to discuss it further.
-
Give me a call! I’ll ask about your riding habits, goals, and any issues you're experiencing, then recommend the best option for your needs.
-
This is used in 3 ways: To ensure the saddle you have is the right shape for your body, spread the pressure to minimise hot spots, and reduce rocking for improved pedal efficiency.
-
If you have any saddle discomfort or are looking for small performance gains, then I’d recommend including saddle pressure mapping.
-
Yes, saddle pressure mapping gives accurate measurements of your sit bones. The difference between saddle and handlebar height also plays a key role in choosing the right saddle shape for you.

I like to be clear that, though I work from some bike shops, I don’t earn commissions on sales. Any recommendations I make are genuine, not sales pitches.
Some parts, like saddles and stems, can be fitted during the session, while others, like handlebars, may require booking with the shop mechanic.

We only use the jig when sizing for a new bike, any fits on your current bike are done direct.
Whilst jigs have their purpose, they wont feel exactly like your bike, so fitting you on your bike is far more effective. This also saves you having to take measurements from the jig and attempt to transfer them to your bike at home.
-
Quite often, yes, but it depends on how long you've been in your current position and the extent of the changes. The more adjustments, the longer it takes for your muscles to adapt. We're focused on long-term improvements, and I always explain what to expect after a fit based on the changes made.
-
It depends on your goals. If you're fitting for comfort on casual rides, you likely won't need another fit for a long time.
However, if you're fitting to improve performance and cycle frequently, bike fitting becomes progressive. While the bike stays the same, your body will change—becoming stronger, more flexible, feeling like you can get more aero, then you may want to return for re-fitting.

No problem, give me a call!
Most fits are spot-on the first time, but occasionally they may need reviewing. Since you're not cycling for long periods during the fit, the real test is on the road.
If it’s something simple, I might be able to advise over the phone. Otherwise, I’ll book you back in for a free re-assessment to get it right.

Yes I do! If you want a mountain bike fitted, please contact me so I can make sure the tyre size fits our turbo trainer.
