Why you should get a Bikefit ?
We have just invested £30,000 in the latest technology to enable our specially trained technicians to custom fit bicycles to riders’ specific needs, improving comfort, control and performance as well as minimising injuries.
Pro Bike Fit at All Terrain Cycles
Available to customers at our Salt’s Mill, Shipley Bikestore ,the state-of-the –art bike fit studio features a fully adjustable jig giving the flexibility to assess and easily adjust every aspect of the rider/bike interface, including crank length, saddle angle and handlebar width, in order to create the optimum riding position. This geometry can then be replicated on the customer’s own bike to ensure it is set up to their exact personal requirements taking into account body proportions and what the rider wants from the bike.
Bike Fit Suite at All Terrain Cycles allows us to adjust your own bike as well as use or Bike Fit Jig
“Cycling enthusiasts are becoming increasingly serious about optimising performance and the starting point, of course, is to ensure the bike fits properly from choosing the right frame size through to the correct adjustment of all the contact points,” explains bike fit technician Chris Williams who has worked for All Terrain Cycles for five years.
“As in many sports, science is being used to improve the process and this high tech jig, one of just a few in Yorkshire, enables us to easily make adjustments and tailor the bike to exactly meet the rider’s needs. Whether customers are investing in a new bike or simply want to get more from their existing bike, a comprehensive fit can make a huge difference curing a host of problems from sore neck and back, knee pain and uncomfortable saddle to numb hands.”
A riders personal flexibility is assessed and built into the fit
The personalised bike fit analyses the rider’s current bike set up and also looks at their body dimensions, flexibility and core strength in order to achieve the ideal riding position.
Our managing director Tony Booth, adds: “As riders prepare for a summer of cycling, our new precision bike fit jig is already being put to good use with our trained technicians, many of whom have ridden at a semi-professional level, using their knowledge, combined with the latest technology, to ensure maximum comfort on the bike, so giving better performance.”
The jig also allows us to replicate the exact geometry of a bike we may not have in stock. This is particularly useful in ensuring correct bike size and rider comfort prior to us ordering from a supplier .It enables a customer to easily test the difference in riding position between different models or sizes of the same model even if we don’t have these bikes in the showroom.
Great for any bike but absolutely essential for custom builds such as Trek Project One ,as these factory ordered bikes cannot be cancelled once the order is placed.
