About The Dynamic Fit Process
Traditional bicycle fit methods utilize static measurements from your skeletal structure to place you in the “ideal” riding position. While these methods are not incorrect, they are unable to specifically identify the optimal position for maximum comfort and efficiency. By being able to adjust the bike while you pedal, we can actively fine tune your position, with real time feedback, to generate the most personalized fit for you and your body. We can even tilt the Guru Fit Bike up to 18 degrees in both directions, providing the sensation of climbing and descending.
Common Questions About A Bike Fit
Why get a fitting?
Getting fit will not only allow you to ride as efficiently and comfortably as possible, but it will allow us to identify the right bike for you. Whether New Bike Day is around the corner or down the road, after your fit, we’ll know the best brand, model, and size of bike necessary to match your ideal position within a few millimeters. The bike we have to change the least, will ride the best. If you currently have a bike, we’ll adjust it as closely as possible to your fit measurements
Should I wait until I’m in shape to get a bike fit?
Nope. If you’re not comfortable or optimized on your bike, getting into ‘cycling fitness’ will be very difficult and unpleasant. As your fitness changes, your physiology will also change, which can result in a need for minor adjustments down the road. Typically, these updates are small and very rarely require another full fit, or a change in equipment.
What if I have a specific issue?
If you have a specific issue - saddle discomfort, knee pain, foot issues, etc. - feel free to give Jason a call to discuss. Some problems may be due to your current fit, however, others may require assessments and adjustments that go beyond what a ‘perfect fit’ can achieve. These are typically existing issues, where your fit is not the key variable.

If the Shoe Fits
For maximum power transfer on the road or trail and for exceptional comfort on a spin bike, we recommend clipless cycling shoes and pedals. With stiffer soles and the ability to click into and out of your pedal system easily, cycling shoes make your ride and your workout more efficient, more effective, and more comfortable. Never get stuck in a toe cage again!
