What does the bike fit include?
- A thorough history of current injuries, past injuries, training volume, and racing goals.
- A physical examination of leg length, limb alignment, overall mobility and flexibility, posture and any other biomechanical issues that are relevant to the bike fit.
- Observation and documentation of current riding position.
- Adjustments to the bike and cleats are made to optimize the fit (note: in some cases you will be advised to get different parts for the bike). Final bike position measurements are documented.
