PT Bike Fit

Bike Fitting

Cycling is a sport that is widely accessible and a great example of meshing body and machine. To achieve the best success on your bike whether you are casually touring or racing for those valuable upgrade points, your fit will be an integral part of your success and enjoyment of the sport. To be comfortable and perform well you require a good position that will minimize risk of injury, apply power to the pedals over long periods of time, and handle the bike in an agile and natural way.

Technology

Motion Capture Video: PT Bike Fit uses the latest technology to assess your position including Motion Capture Video. Motion Capture Video will capture your position during the most important time, while you are riding. Multiple joint angles can be assessed through slow motion video and still motion snapshots extracted from the video to verify your position.

Your fit starts with a good foundation. Your saddle is your foundation and holds valuable information with regard to how you interact with your bike. Before saddle pressure mapping this information was not attainable.
gebioMized Saddle Pressure Mapping: Live feed pressure mapping provides invaluable feedback with regard to:
• Saddle selection and width
• Sitting position on the saddle and relative pressure points
• Saddle position including height and fore aft
• Crank length
• Leg length discrepancy
• Validating and providing evidence for recommendations made during the fit

What Is Bike Fit?

Bike fitting is the process of methodically aligning your body in a position where the repetitive strain on muscle and joints is minimized, pressure in vulnerable points is reduced, and your body is allowed to function at its peak for the greatest amount of time.
