Fit Kit
The Club has recently purchased a Fit Kit which is available for all members to utilise. Members can be fitted to their current bike, or alternatively to be sized correctly for another bike.
The Fit Kit is a collection of precision measuring tools and tables developed over 20 years of research using a wide cross section of bike riders, from recreational to elite level. The Kit obtains a bike riders body measurements and personal information including age range and flexibility. This information is then used to determine your three main contact points with your bike: the pedals, the saddle and the handlebars.
This information is not only used to fit you to your bike but can also be used effectively to solve common problems such as stress or discomfort, caused by incorrect riding positions.
For those who:
- would like their bikes set up, or
- are planning to buy another bike and would like a size
opportunities to use the Fit Kit will be advised periodically to Group members by email.
The email will include details of how to register for each session.
