What fit suits you best?
-
A bike fit can have a wide variety of purposes. For one person, it may be a means to finally getting rid of that neck pain, for another, it is all about getting as aero as possible. For everyone, however, bike fitting is about improvement. Because everyone has different needs, every Full Fit will look different. The focus of every session is therefore on the aspects of your cycling that you want to improve on!
I have decided to have a bike fit, but what is the difference between a Body Positioning Session and a Full Fit?
Different from the Body Positioning Session, in a Full Fit, we won't just look at the improvements you can obtain by adjusting your contact points (cleats, saddle, handelbars) on the bike. In the Full Fit session we will put more time and consideration into optimising your movement patterns. We will spend extra time getting into the nitty and gritty of why you move a certain way and are able to zoom-in more closely to things such as saddle choice, crank length choice etc.
By zooming in, we can assess more precisely how you can best focus your efforts to see the most improvement in your cycling comfort or performance, depending on what your needs are. For some, this may mean advice on stretching and strengthening exercises and pedalling technique. For others, it may mean using the remaining time to focus on the way your feet interact with the pedal, increase overall symmetry on the bike or finding out what actually limits you being able to stay in an aero position.In short, we will delve more deeply into the limiters of your body and spend time helping you with your specific requirements.
Your body takes time to get used to a new position, therefore you get a free 1 hour session within 3 months after your original appointment. This way we can give your body time to adapt and find out if something else could use some finetuning.Aditionally, all full fit customers get unlimited access to the saddle library.

In a Body Positioning Session we consider your body's limiters and adjust your position on the bike in order to optimize both comfort and performance, specific to your body's needs.
Everybody is different; some of us are full-time yogis and some of us work behind a desk all day, some want to race and others want to enjoy an easy cruise through the countryside. Differences in body types, needs, and expectations can cause problems when considering that we all have to ride similar factory build bikes. In a Body Positioning Session, we will personalise your bike to your body.
During the session, we start with a conversation about your personal needs and expectations. We get your riding and together with everything we learned in the interview and physical assessment we will fine-tune the location of your contact points in space. (Cleats/ Saddle/ Handlebar) This is the essence of bike positioning.

Sometimes life gets the better of you and an injury hits. Other times you get the better of life and your training has worked wonders.
Changes to our body often means changes to our fit. For these situation a whole new bikefit seems excessive. However, having another look at your position can have you riding more comfortable than ever.
For those people I offer a re-assessment of your position to get you going again.
This option is only available for people who have had a bikefit in the past 24 months.

Saddle choice is often very personal, because the most comfortable throne for one person can be quite literally a torture machine for another. That's why there's such a wide variety of different shapes and sizes available. But sometimes too much choice can make it difficult to know what's right for you.
Where to start? How do you know a saddle works for you without trying it? Is it even your saddle that is causing the problems, or could it be your position that is the culprit of discomfort?
We've set up The Saddle Library to answer these questions!
What you get:
- A 30 minute to 1hr consult to make sure your saddle problems aren't caused by position, and to try out several saddles in quick succession to find the general shape that works for you. *
- Access to a wide variety of saddles to test and ride for a 2-week period per saddle.
Prices:
- Original consult: 90,-
- Additional consult: 20,-
- Saddle change: 0,-
*If you have not had a quality bikefit before, the chances are that any saddle discomfort is not due to your saddle, but is a consequence of your overall position. I would therefore strongly recommend to book a body positioning session or full fit in stead.
The Saddle Library is available for full fit customers free of charge. -
We understand that your schedule can change. Therefore, rescheduling or cancellations are free of charge up to 24hrs in advance.
If you need to cancel or reschedule within 24 hrs of your appointment, a surcharge of 50,-euros will be applied.
