Bike Fit Service

Do you get pain when cycling?
Is your current bike set up as a result of trail and error?
Do you want to improve your cycling performance?

An incorrect bike set-up can be the cause of neck, back and knee pain - and consequently a reduction in power output. Your bike set-up could be optimised based upon the scientific principles of ergonomics and human biomechanics to cure or prevent pain when cycling and improve your performance.

At Athlete Matters we have all the necessary expertise and equipment to optimise your bike set-up. During a 'bike-fit' assessment, we will video you cycling at different efforts and cadences.

Your saddle height / position, handlebar height / reach and tri-bar length / angle will all be examined and adjusted as necessary to ensure that you are not putting excessive strain on anatomical structures. Most importantly your shoe / pedal cleat position will be scrutinised and optimised and if necessary we will use specially designed wedges to alter your foot tilt or correct a leg-length discrepancy.

It is very common for cyclists to ride with their knees turned in or out and in some individuals this can lead to pain when power through the pedals is increased. This fault can be corrected via a wedge.

So if you are experiencing pain when cycling, are new to the sport or starting to increase your mileage for an Ironman, then book an appointment with Paul Savage at Athlete Matters for a bike assessment.

It costs just £60 and the session last for an hour.
