Bike fitting is a procedure which involves a detailed assessment of your skeletal and muscular structure as well as a number of flexibility tests. This allows the fitter to work with you to help you find a comfortable, balanced and efficient position on the bike.
Retül fit is more than just a bike fit - it's a way to learn about your body, the root cause of your aches and pains, and how a proper fit will help you achieve your cycling goals.
Retül uses 3D motion capture technology, where the system accurately measures every degree of movement and millimeter of distance, providing you and our fitter with data to support the choices made during the fit for your cycling equipment and personal riding experience.
Through each step of the process your fitter will guide you through this captured data, advising of any postural changes required in addition to adjusting the Retül Müve fit bike or Watt Bike to get you in your best position. On completion of your fit you will be given a detailed report on all of your personal parameters / body limits. Your fitter will then size your bike to your new position and will advise you of any component changes needed to match your bike to your data. These components can then be fitted in store ready for your next ride.
Efficiency, comfort, support and aerodynamics are all improved, leading to better performance, faster rides and less aches and pains. This is by far the best value for money upgrade you can purchase to improve your riding.
Not sure which bike to get next? A fit is also a great place to start to ensure that you get the correct model and size.
Through this we gain as much info from the rider as possible. Previous injuries, sporting goals, working environment, frequency of riding.
To understand a rider's limitations on the bike we go through a series of biomechanical evaluations to put you first, let us make the bike fit you, not the opposite.
We will take specific measurements from your bike to "mimic" your position on our jig. We then begin the analysis process. By positioning several Infrared LEDs across key parts of your body we gain a huge understanding of how you currently interact with your bike.
Once we have gained an insight to you current riding position and any discomforts you may have, we can start making changes to your position. Cleat positioning, saddle height and setback are optimised as well as reach and handlebar drop. We will assess optimum handlebar width, crank length, and saddle choice.
The final process is to compare your original bike sizing to your new optimised sizing and discuss any component changes that may be required to achieve this. Your bike is then passed over to our workshop team who will make the necessary changes.
