Bike fit studio

Hello Craig - thank you for bike fit on Tuesday.

Today was first day out. I feel like I am on another bike altogether - its great and gives me more power and balance and I feel 'even'. Also no lower left back pain. So a big thank you. We were a bit worried about the seat height but that seems just fine. Feels different when up on the pedals too. So all good.

So many thanks.

Cheers Sandie

Hi Craig
Got out on the bike this morning. FANTASTIC!!!

I feel so much more comfortable on the bike. No pain in the lower back. I can feel the difference in the power transfer; it is just so different. I am no where near as fit as Ironman and my time into work this morning was still faster than I have ever done.

“A bike fit done on the Contact point system will be done on a fully adjustable Fit bike, which will be adjusted until you feel fully comfortable. Once comfortable on the Fit bike the various measurements are then being transferred onto your bike, and followed up with some fine adjustments. The great thing about this method (compared to the conventional bike fit method done with you and your bike only) is that at the end of the day you will walk away with your personal bike fit parameters, which then can be transferred onto any other bike that you may have or are planning on buying, without getting re-fitted. Also, as far as I know, the guys from iBIKE offer you a 1-year follow up for no extra cost in case it still doesn't seem to fit alright, though, I never had to make use of this "privilege". I consider getting a bike fit done the best cycling related investment I have made so far. Not only have I been a lot more comfortable on the bike right after the bike fit (with an hour or so getting used to), but all these annoying aches such as a sore neck and back were gone. And as a bonus, my cycling has somehow become more efficient too. I don't think that I have to mention that riding has been a lot more fun since. I wouldn't have hesitated for a pretty long time if I would have known how much of a difference it makes. The cost of a bike fit is a small price to pay considering what most of us spend on their bikes and accessories, especially when you think about the many hours that we spend riding. I reckon, if you are serious about riding, then a bike fit is a must. Well, to sum it up: Just Do It, you surely won't regret it”

“I was first introduced to iBIKE in April 2009. I was a total newbie to cycling and barely new one end of a bike from the other. I started going to the wind trainer classes, and with the help of Jianni the team I have gained my confidence. They have given me advice both in equipment and my technique. Although I had just had a bike fit at another cycling company after talking with the team about getting sore shoulders and neck when riding I decided to get a bike fit with ibike. Craig spent an hour and a half with me and my bike and found I had one leg shorter than the other, my handlebars were too wide and my seat was the wrong height . You can never say these guys aren't thorough!! The difference however is phenomenal. Looking at the video clips before and after the alterations were done is like looking at a totally different rider. I am now riding more comfortably, stronger and I am loving it. I cannot say thank you enough to everyone at ibike. They are a great team and will go above and beyond to help you in any way possible. Once you start working with the team at iBIKE you will not go any where else. Thanks guys”

“The Custom Fit Cycle is a great way of starting with a blank sheet of paper and determining the best fit and then selecting a bike which matches the measurements rather than starting with an existing bike and trying to make it fit. I had one set up with iBIKE and then purchased a bike which best matched the measurements. iBIKE then set up my new bike to the calculated measurements and I have ridden it with the same set up ever since. My new position is very comfortable and I have not had to change anything at all. If I had not had a bike fit prior to buying my new bike it is likely that I would have purchased an incorrect frame size and tried unsuccessfully to make it fit. The team at iBIKE are very knowledgeable about bike fits and set ups. They share their knowledge with you during the bike fit so you understand why things are done the way they are and why certain things are so important. They emphasize the bike fit process prior to purchasing a bike to ensure you make the best purchase possible and don’t spend money on a bike which looks good but doesn’t fit”

Hi Craig,

Just letting you know that I survived Taupo and had no problems whatsoever with my knee. I managed a couple of 100km+ training rides after seeing you, it’s just a pity I didn’t know about you/see you earlier then I wouldn’t have lost a couple of weeks training so close to the event. My time was slow, but probably fair considering I felt a bit underdone training-wise and I had a couple of punctures. Anyway thanks for the set up - I don’t believe I could have completed Taupo without it.

Cheers,

Hey Craig

Well my bike rocked! Loved the Tinman and enjoyed every minute of it. The bike felt awesome - aero bars and seat very comfortable, so thank you so much Craig, your fit made a massive difference. Did it in 2 hrs 40mins 30 secs, so pretty happy with that for my first tri and not pushing myself. All ready for the half ironman this weekend!

Thanks Craig and hope all is well with you.

See you soon
Suzie
