Austinbikes Signature Pro Bike Fit ... $150
Does your bike "fit"? What does that even mean?
The only thing we take more seriously than helping you select the perfect bike and equipment is your bike's fit.
Fact: Your position on the bike is the single most important factor in achieving optimal power and comfort!
And because the sale of a bicycle is not the final step in our relationship with our clients, Austinbikes includes one of our Pro Fit sessions with every bike purchased from us. At no extra charge.
The Austinbikes Pro Fit addresses your marriage to your bicycle from head to toe and neck to hands. There are many issues specific to YOU that affect your position on the bike, and we are able to diagnose and make allowances and adjustments for all of them.
- anatomical anomalies and asymmetry (including leg or arm length inequalities)
- pain & discomfort
- muscle inflexibility
- past or current injuries
- level of experience
- even aiding with your goals in cycling!
We delight in making people fast and comfortable. We have been taught by the best bicycle fit authorities in the cycling world, and feel we offer the most comprehensive bike fit available anywhere. And simply put, when you feel powerful yet comfortable on your bicycle, you will ride it more often and get more enjoyment out of it.
So just what do we do?
In our Pro Fit sessions, we address the relationship between you & your equipment:
- Ankle, Knee & Hip Alignment
- Knee Over Pedal Spindle
- Ankling & Heel Drive
- Posture and Back Position
- Torso, Arm & Neck Angles
- Minimum Knee Angle
- Hand Positions & Weight Distribution
Your Pro Fit often results in our recommending a new stem (due to length or angle), seatpost (due to length or setback) and/or handlebars (due to width, reach or drop) and bar tape. Although less common, we may also recommend different shoes, pedals, crankarm length or saddle . Each of these parts of your bike has an impact on your bicycle's fit and performance. In any case, we are able to provide a total solution to dial you in to your perfect fit.
