Riderfitcc

Riderfitcc riderfit. can help make your cycling more enjoyable, improve efficiency and reduce your chances of cycling related injuries.

We work with all cyclists, whether you are new to cycling or a seasoned professional. It's not uncommon for a rider to find this question challenging; Why have you set your bike and equipment up that way? When asked, quite often the answer is not very clear, it normally starts with, it's just how I've always done it, or it's what I got told by a friend or fellow cyclist. This advice can sometimes

work by chance, but when you experience cycling related injuries or you want to optimise cycling performance then much more care must be taken to better understand you as a cyclist. At riderfit we can take you through a bike fitting experience that will answer those questions and give you the confidence to cycle with the knowledge that how your bike and equipment are set up has been customised to you.

EVERY RIDER MATTERS. ||| BICYCLES ARE THE BEST.

For those following along this is our wonderful client Wayne that had pretty much conceded to not being able to ride anymore. A knee replacement that left limited knee joint range had put a stop to riding, his passion.

It started with an email, a question and we figured… because we have seen many fit challenges over nearly 20 years we said come in and we can chat see what might be possible.

We have always been driven to help where we can and we also like rolling the sleeves up for a good bike fit challenge. (Yes, very competitive too…😂)

Fast forward and we now have 2 bikes and a 3rd now on the radar that is being ridden daily on favourite local trails and roads.

With the help of Appleman Bicycles and the use of our sizing bike we could determine that switching out 175mm cranks down to 100mm cranks would enable us to get a position that was comfortable and efficient. Putting no stress on the knee.

Not all fit solutions are about high performance because not all goals are high performance. Sometimes it’s simply about being able to enjoy what makes you happy and like many of us that is to simply ride our bicycle.

⚡️DO YOU WANT FEEE SPEED? ⚡️

Aerodynamics are one of the biggest areas to gains free speed. Bikes are more aero than ever, helmets, skin suits and socks are almost common practice for the competitive cyclist.

Whether you are racing Gravel, Road, Time Trial, Track or Triathlon one area that has a significant amount of potential is your position on the bike.

Getting your body in to an optimal position though bike fitting can see riders gaining up to 27watts in one session.

We are proud to have partnered with that have created a cutting edge tool for testing aerodynamics we can use in our studio.

Bookable now, get faster now!

AVOID INJURIES /// WHY A BIKE FIT?

Most riders end up injured due to adapting to a bike that isn’t fitted to them correctly.

Whether it’s the wrong saddle, a stem that’s too long, or cleats set up incorrectly the repetitive nature of cycling normally catches up leading to injury.

FIT SOLUTIONS.. OUTSIDE THE BOX.

Changing crank length can be the best thing to ever happen for some riders. In this example we had a client post knee replacement that was left with limited flexion in the knee. The end result was not being able to do the thing he loves, ride his bike.

Having cranks manufactured from has been the best thing we could have done. We now have the same set up on 2 bikes and our clients back to riding and loving cycling again.

If you ride a bicycle we care about you.

WINTER | INJURY PREVENTION.

Now is the perfect time of the year to take a look at your position on the bike.

Our fitness can vary throughout the year so getting your bike position looked at is a great way to prevent injury and find any performance gains you have been looking for.

If you’re feeling uncomfortable on the bike why not get things looked at with a Tailored Fit Session.

CRANK LENGTH CHANGES..

Yep shorter is often better, but….. not always. Whether you are chasing performance or have an injury your dealing with shorter cranks can be very beneficial.

Once we assess your body we can help you make a more informed decision around which crank length might work best for you.

We can even test the new crank Le get in the studio using our Retül sizing bike. It’s a very cool tool.

⚡️HINGE TO USE YOUR GLUTES! ⚡️

Back pain is often related to riders not using the their glute muscles (your large muscles, behind you!).

It’s common to see riders simply flexing or bending there spine putting pressure on discs in an attempt to reach handlebars that can feel too far away.

This normally leads to a sore lower back and heavy legs (quads) while also telling us they don’t even feel their glute muscles working on the bike.

Posture on the bike is super important if you want to be comfortable and efficient while pedalling. We use a simple cue (sticker) reminder on stems to remind a rider that that long reach feeling is likely due to bad posture not a stem that’s too long. Over time we can create a new habit and reduce the back pain and start using the glutes to generate power.

Back pain comes from a number of issues while cycling. This is a common one.

WHICH SERVICE SHOULD I BOOK?

Since 2015 we have offered our Tailored Fit Session. This service has remained the staple of all we do with tailoring bikes to bodies.

Why?

This session always starts with a full physical assessment and that is what drives all the decisions we make when adjusting your bike and equipment. Without this step like many people out there you are guessing and that never gets us to the root cause of your pain and discomfort on the bike.

Whether you are new to cycling or a seasoned professional looking to improve performance on the bike you should book a Tailored Fit Session and start getting more out of your cycling.

We can help.

A NEUTRAL POSITION. IT IS THE KEY!

You always want a bike position that reflects your body and your riding style.

Here is a great example of this exact thing. Our rider is comfortably shifting between different hand positions on the drop and hoods.

We must hear “I don’t use the drops much” at least 5 times a week. This is mostly due to an ill-fitting bicycle. Your body is trying to adapt to a position that it doesn’t want to be in. So ultimately you get overuse injuries or pressure resulting in numbness and discomfort at the handlebars or the saddle or even both.

Stop putting up with pain while cycling is NOT normal and you should NOT get used to it. 💯
