Bike Fit
Suffering on the bike, not because of it.
Feeling uncomfortable on the bike? Constantly changing out your saddle? Do your hands go numb after 30 minutes?
A good bike fit is crucial to ensure your ride is as comfortable and efficient as possible. A poor bike fit can lead to aches and pains, decreased power, and decreased performance.
What it is: Bike fits at Chain Reaction are a two-hour process in which your body, biomechanics, and how you communicate with the bike are evaluated.
What we assess:
Posture on and off the bike
Tissue and joint mobility
Cleat and pedal positioning
Body geometry on the bike
Pelvis size and saddle size
Price: $360
Time: 1.5-2 hours

A bike fit isn't just about comfort. It's about what happens to your body when the same inefficient movement is repeated 16,000 times in a single ride.
Most bike fits tell you where your body is on the bike. Mine tells you why it's there and what to do about it.
Frequently Asked Questions About Bike Fit
-
Bikes are built S/M/L/XL, but our bodies aren’t. Bike fits allow the bike to be fit to your specific needs, body type, proportions, and riding style. A bike fit takes the bike from being just a machine to being perfectly tuned to suit you and your goals.

Your riding shoes, what you usually ride in, and your bike. Feel free to bring any extra saddles, stems, or parts you’ve used on and off if you suspect they should be evaluated.

I have a partnership with local bike shop Soul Ride for 10% off all parts I recommend. As I am not a bike shop, I do not stock extra stems, cranks, saddles etc. I provide you with a Bike Fit Prescription that you can give to them. They will take care of all of the ordering for you.
-
I typically tell my clients to pick which bike they are least comfortable on. At the end of the fit, I will provide measurements and record the changes we made so that you can transfer those measurements to your other bikes.
