Bike Fitting
WHY CRAZY CAT CYCLERY?
Our bike fit service is a comprehensive system used to join the rider and bicycle together. Our method has been designed and scientifically tested to maximize power, aerodynamics, endurance and comfort. High-speed cameras set in multi-direction views, allow precise movement examination to achieve an optimal fit.
PRE-FIT INTERVIEW
The interview will allow the analyst to gather rider anthropometrics and useful information such as rider experience, injury history, expectations and goals. This will allow the fitter to evaluate the client’s flexibility and any issues with the client’s feet, knees, hips and back.
PRODUCT SELECTION
During the assessment, the analyst will use tools developed by Body Geometry and Purely Custom to find the best equipment that suits each client.
RIDE ANALYSIS
The analyst will first visually assess the rider on the bike and take initial measurements. Once the initial start has been noted, the proper adjustments will be made to determine the best and most efficient riding position. (During a video capture analysis, the fit technician will assess visually and with the video capture software).
VIDEO CAPTURE
Offered only at the Crazy Cat Cyclery Kern location, the fitter will analyze the client while riding with 3D motion capture. This method is the most precise and comprehensive and allows the client to see and better understand what is going on.
FOLLOW UP
Follow-ups are a necessary part of the process, the fitter will ask the client to come back after a certain amount of miles have been obtained. This allows the fitter to see how the client’s body has adapted to the new position and also for the client’s feedback. The follow up is included with all three fits offered.
Bike Fit Options
Whether you’re on a brand new bike and looking for comfort or you’re looking to shave seconds off of your next race time, you can benefit from a professional bike fit. Learn more about our fit services and schedule your appointment today.
- Cyclists must come prepared with their bicycle, cycling shoes, and cycling kit (riding shorts/bibs jersey).
Contact us for any questions or if you need to re-schedule your fit.
If the Shoe Fits
For maximum power transfer on the road or trail and for exceptional comfort on a spin bike, we recommend clipless cycling shoes and pedals. With stiffer soles and the ability to click into and out of your pedal system easily, cycling shoes make your ride and your workout more efficient, more effective, and more comfortable. Never get stuck in a toe cage again!
