How?
By using the most up to date bike fitting technology, Gary adds to his over 20 years experience with bikes to get you the best possible fit.
Depending on your fitting needs, Gary will use the Retul Muve bike, the Vantage 3D camera with motion capture to record and analyse you while actually cycling.
The accuracy of the Retul system will allow Gary to see the most minute details that are holding you back from maximum cycling enjoyment and will be able to dial your fit to the millimeter.
The Process:
step 1: Interview
Gary will do a pre fit interview to asses your current cycling ability and goals. Gary will note any injury history that may affect your cycling.
step 2: Pre Fit assessment
Gary will perform a 15 step assessment to check critical areas including sit bone measurement and range of motion check on your limbs and spine to see if you have any physical limitations that can affect your cycling.
step 3: The Fit
Gary will begin to dial in your fit. Starting by finding optimal cleat placement and best saddle type for you, he will then place the 3D tracking sensors on the key points and begin tracking you while cycling. While analysing you with the vantage 3D camera, Gary can begin adjusting your fit to the optimal position.
step 4: Measuring the bike
One the best position has been achieved, Gary will use the Retul Zin tool to map and measure the bike to get a millimetre perfect report on your best fit. This data can be used to select your new bike with confidence; or to fit your current machine to match your body exactly.
step 5: Report and follow up
Gary will generate a customised report for you to keep as a reference and enable you to dial in other bikes to match your body. Gary will follow up a few weeks after the fit to see how the new position is working out for you and answer any other questions you may have since your fit.
