Why A Bike Fitting Is Important

Are you getting a new bike? Or do you just need a bike fitting, Leicester?

Having the right bike fitting is essential to boost your efficiency.

If your bike doesn’t fit your body and needs properly, there is a risk of injury.

Why it's important

A proper bike fitting is the key to a comfortable, efficient, and successful ride.

An improperly fit bike can cause physical issues like numb hands or toes, knee pain, back pain, or other aches after riding.

Professional bike fitting is essential in knowing your bike is fit right, which means you remain pain and injury free.

Keep in mind, a bike should be checked for a proper fit every few years. If there are changes in your body structure, injuries, or changes due to skill level, you should have your fitting checked and adjusted.

Fitting a bike

When fitting a bike, there are many things to check and adjust to maintain your efficiency and safety.

The first step in bike fitting is understanding how your body connects to the bike. Do you have special requirements? Previous injuries that need accommodation? Or movement limitations?

A good way to gain the proper information for a fitting is determining what your riding position is. A full ride analysis with motion capture technology can detect your ride motion to help set the proper saddle height and type, crank length, stem length, and bar width.

The saddle height should be determined by the length of your legs, flexibility of your hips, and size of your frame. Too high and your hips will rock too much, if it's too low, it can lead to knee strain.

Finding someone to do a bike fitting

A professional bike fit is vital — trusting just anyone won’t cut it. A proper bike fit technician should be more interested in how you fit the bike and your health.

They should be able to run extensive tests and provide flawless results.

The first bike fitting you receive may be at the shop before you buy one. This is usually a basic fitting, so you will still need to seek a professional fit technician.

A good place to start is the bike shop, as they often have a professional in store available by appointment.

Another place is at the trainer’s as they will usually do bike fittings as part of their training and coaching package.

When you go for your fitting, you should wear your favourite cycling shorts and the shoes you typically ride in to ensure a proper fit. Remember, the goal is to fit the bike to make it comfortable and efficient for when you will be on it the most.

If you get a new bike or just need to ensure your bike is proper, it is time for a bike fitting Leicester.

A bike fit is vital to ensure you do not get injured, and you can maintain your efficiency.

A professional fitting is ideal to ensure the bike is fit right the first time.

My dad was looking to rehome his old electric bike and I stopped by to try it out. It’s pretty tall but I think that’s what you��re supposed to get for good pedaling.

But spoiler alert. Electric bikes are just. Fun.

My chronic fatigue has meant a lot less outside time overall and a limit on fun activities that are too vigorous. But I’m genuinely like. This is so accessible and makes outdoor stuff more achievable and it was just so exciting to be riding that I fully giggled aloud.

If your butt aches after a lomg(ish) bike ride you either have an unfit saddle or your saddle or front part (forgot name) are set wrong.

Typically women need wider saddles.

To get the right height of the saddle have someone look at you from the side and note if your knees are in a straight lime down with the pedals when youre in neutral position (where neither pedal is down). Depending on the saddle you can experiment with tilting it forward or backward. I'd recommend a very slight tilt forward

For the front part you should try to set it in a way that you keep your wrist as straight as possible and your elbows a little bend. This will keep pressure off of your shoulders. If there's pressure you will automatically adjust to that and your butt may suffer for it

I'm kinda assuming a city bike for you (correct me if I'm wrong), if it's a different type then the settings will change because your position changes

So a new seat will probably not solve all my problems, which are numerous and first on the list is that the bike was a hand me down from my dad. I can’t quite span it as he’s just a bigger person than me, so form was always gonna be an issue. I can juuuust reach the ground with my tippiest toes on it.

But in addition I’m hypermoblle and out of shape so I’m expecting aches and pains. If biking becomes regular enough I’ll try to get a bike that fits me better but it’ll depend. Don’t wanna drop electric bike money if it’s not a big enough part of my life.
