Bike Fitting
process

Throughout our first four years in business, we’ve refined our bike fitting process. Thousands of hours of recordings, conversations, observations and adjustments have informed these decisions.

First Appointment (2-3 hours)

Whether you’re looking to improve the fit of your current frame or get sized up for something new; road, triathlon, mountain bike, commuter or otherwise, all of our appointments start with the same process (and a coffee).

We’ll discuss your goals for the session before a short warm-up on the bike. With your goals in mind, we’ll work through a basic movement assessment in order to better understand any physical limitations that could prevent you from achieving your optimal position.

Following this, we’ll record positional data for your appointment with our motion capture system and saddle pressure map to validate any changes made during your appointments.

Based on this information, we’ll set out suggested positional or component changes as well as a plan to resolve any physical limitations ahead of your second appointment.

second appointment (1-2 hours)

Our bike fit bookings include two appointments as standard.

At a minimum, this is necessary to validate any changes made during the appointment through time riding outdoors. This follow-up process is a crucial part of our accountability to our customers and allows time for feedback on any changes made during the first appointment.

If you’re planning on buying a new bike, then we’ll use the first session to find your best position using our fit bike, which can then be translated onto your new frame before your second appointment.

For time trialists or triathletes, we’ll use the second appointment to work on your position in our Bioracer Aero virtual wind tunnel and simulate real-world conditions on our turbo trainer. Following the second session, you’ll have access to the Bioracer Aero virtual wind tunnel at a reduced rate to allow you to come back and train your position throughout the season.

Follow-UP Appointments (1 hour)

We recommend that most cyclists follow up with us within 12 months of their second appointment. Follow-up appointments within this timeframe are charged at a reduced rate of £50.

With a change in goals, equipment or even a new bike, regular follow-up helps to prevent injury and make sure that you are always in the best possible position to achieve your cycling goals.

Bookings outside this timeframe will be charged at full price, less our referral discount of £25.

“Innes at Bramblers provided a highly professional service during my recent bike fit. From the moment that I arrived, he provided superb customer service. Innes spent time exploring my cycling history, goals and previous injuries (over a delicious coffee)! He then expertly adjusted my cycling position, using a ‘jig’ and devices to capture my motion in 3D, improving my cycling efficiency. Further to this, Innes was able to use a saddle pressure sensor and moulded insoles, recommended a saddle to maximise my comfort. Additionally, Innes provided a tailored exercise programme. I am already starting to see increases in my mobility! Innes ’extensive knowledge and passion for bike fitting, CrossFit, mobility and physiotherapy is impressive. It enables him provide a truly unique and very thorough service. Overall, the experience was excellent. Innes’ meticulous eye for detail and commitment to help is top quality!” Daryl
