Bike Fitting at Run & Ride
Supported by Shimano
What is bike fitting?
Our bike fitting services can address many aspects of your cycling experience. We use a system from bikefitting.com supported by Shimano.
Our sizing and fitting services can help you find the optimal position on your current bike for your riding style, find the correct size bike for a new purchase, set up your shoe cleats accurately or recommend the best saddle for your needs.
More advanced bike fits can also include analysis of your cycling position and your pedalling stroke to establish how you can optimise your position for an increased power output or a greater level of comfort on the bike.
Depending on which of these services you require, it can take between 15 minutes and a few hours and provide you with a simple yet personalised advice on the best bike size, recommended changes to improve your comfort, a specific diagram of the optimal personal set up for a particular bike, or deliver a detailed report on your pedalling stroke.
Who are bike fit's for?
In simple terms, everybody!
From a longterm cyclist to a new rider, everybody can gain something from having their position on the bike analysed and their cleats and pedal position checked.
You don’t have to be feeling uncomfortable or in pain on the bike to warrant a bike fit. Many regular cyclists are unaware of the gains they can make until they go through the process.

Complete Bike Fit
£150

A Complete Fit will measure 8 key body dimensions.
Based on those metrics, our unique algorithm, your preferences and our experience of having completed more than 1.5 million of those measurements, we then provide you with a full bike diagram of your suggested bike set up no matter if it’s a mountain bike, commuter or road bike.
It will take all the guess work out of your bike set up and can be used to optimise your position on a current bike or guide the purchase of a new one to ensure you get the right model, size and set up for your requirements.

Shoe Cleat Adjustment
Included in Complete Bike Fit.
£40 when booked separately.
45mins Approx
A good cycling position starts with the correct positioning of the feet on the pedals and it is therefore extremely important that the cleats are properly adjusted so that the feet can move around the pedals in the most natural, efficient and comfortable way. When purchasing new shoes or replacing your cleats, it is therefore very important that the cleats are properly adjusted so that your foot is not too far forward or backward on the pedal and your foot is not forced into an unnatural position while cycling.
​
Key Benefits:
-
No dead feet
-
Fewer injuries
-
Improved efficiency

Ensure that your bike fit advice is correctly transferred to your other bike(s).
After a bike fit it is of course essential that your bike gets set up in line with the advice that follows from the bike fit. Our Bike Adjuster can do this with laser precision as it relies on precise XY coordinates relative to the bottom bracket, so that your position can be precisely replicated between bikes regardless of the different geometry that bikes might have.
​
This service is only available to those who have used us for their original fit.
Benefits:
-
Implement your position advice
-
Align set up between different bikes
-
Same set up for different geometries
