Pre + Post Purchase Analysis
Get it right from the start - We help you find the bike that best fits you and your needs
The pre + post purchase process
The process is somewhat similar to the Initial Dynamic Cycling Analysis process, with a few key differences, as this is a two part process.
This option is prefect if you do not have a bike yet, if you want to look for a new bike starting from scratch or if you are building a custom bike
The First Appointment
Interview, budget and needs
We start with a conversation so we can get to know you a bit better, review your riding and athletic history, goals, objectives, strengths, weaknesses, current and past injuries, current training/riding, and more.
We listen so we can meet you where you are at that moment in time and help you achieve your goals.
Discussing your bike must haves, budget, needs and a deep dive into bike geometries so we can help you narrow things down effectively

Assessment off the bike
We conduct a basic flexibility and structural movement assessment that will help us understand how your body moves off the bike.
This helps us pin point potential issues that could affect you while riding and specific needs for the your new ride
Exploration process
Using a fully adjustable sizing bike, we will explore which bike set up is the perfect fit for you, including all parts, from handlebars to cranks, stem and everything in between.
Once we have set your best position, we will explore which brands / models will work best for your individual needs.
Bike options and purchase
As well as recommending various bikes and components to suit you, we will also dive deep into shoe fit, pedal choice, cleats, insoles, handlebars, crank length and more
Everything you need to get will be covered and emailed to you so you can purchase your new bike and accessories and / or parts
The Second Appointment
Once you have your new bike, as well as everything else recommended in the first appointment, it is time to get the bike perfectly set up for you!
Data capture
Along side using our eyes, we use several tools for objective data collection, which helps us make more informed decisions:
STT / VelogicFit / Retul 3D motion capture to dynamically capture an enormous amount of data as you ride. We track all moving parts of your body simultaneously while you ride under different workloads, looking at both left and right sides
3D saddle pressure data is captured while you ride using GebioMized
3D foot pressure data is captured while you ride using GebioMized (level II)
For instant visual feedback, video analysis is used
Bike modifications and technique + Posture coaching
We will make all needed adjustments to your position and bike. This is a trial and error process, listening to your feedback as we progress. We adjust all parts of the bike: saddle, handlebars, shoes/cleats, cranks, etc.
Our analysis process has a very large emphasis on technique and posture coaching while riding, including prescription of exercises and technique correction, as needed
Recording and measuring
We use a digital measuring device to record the bike's final set up.
We also keep notes of everything that was done during your analysis session and key discussion points for future reference
After Your Session
Fit file
A file with your body position on the bike, bike position and session summary will be uploaded
Email support
We provide email support following the fitting during the adaptation period (approximately 2-3 weeks)
If things aren't right
we will review things as a part of the initial process within 2 months of the initial assessment date
Exclusive resources
Access resources with a private community with articles, answers to common questions and more
