Free Bike Fit Checklist for Cyclists
Sick of trying to piece together bike fit tips from the internet? Stop guessing and start riding pain-free.
This free checklist covers the 5 key elements I assess with every cyclist; the same framework I use as a Doctor of Physical Therapy specializing in cycling PT.
Whether you're dealing with knee pain, back pain, or neck pain on the bike, your setup is often the culprit. This checklist tells you exactly where to look.
The checklist covers:
Saddle height and how to find the right position for your body
Fore-aft saddle position and its impact on power and pain
Cleat alignment and how it affects your knees
Handlebar reach and drop
Stack height and upper body positioning
About me
Hi, I'm Jessie. Doctor of Physical Therapy, lifelong cyclist, and owner of Chain Reaction PT in Prescott, AZ.
I work with everyone from weekend riders to professional cyclists, and the story is almost always the same: they've been riding in pain for months, tried adjusting things on their own, and nothing has stuck.
That's because most cyclists are guessing at their fit instead of working from a systematic framework.
I've been doing bike fits alongside physical therapy for seven years (and solely bike fitting another 6 before that). I've refined what I look at down to 5 key elements that account for the vast majority of pain and discomfort on the bike. These are the same 5 things I check on every single rider who walks through my door, whether they're a Cat 1 racer or a recreational cyclist riding on weekends.
My in-person clinic has a 3 month waitlist. So I put this checklist together so you don't have to wait to start figuring out what's going wrong with your fit.
It's free. Download it and start riding without pain.
