The Importance of Professional Bike Fitting

About Our Bike Fitting Services

Tom Petty
Director and Head Bike Fitter

Tom combines extensive expertise with formal accreditation from Retül as a certified fit specialist and an advanced TT/Triathlon fitter. Having worked in cycling for 18 years, and over 12 years specialising in bike fit.
Alongside the formal qualifications, he feels it is his combination of state-of-the-art technology and customer-centric approach, that achieves the best results.
Whether you are searching for a new bike, or struggling with your existing one, a professional bike fit can be beneficial to all types of riders. Having an expert assess your position and equipment should be the starting point to achieve your cycling goals and will save you time and money in the long run.
We can reduce the risk of injury and help prevent pains that are common in the knees, feet, hands and neck. Many riders unnecessarily put up with these aggravations, limiting performance and increasing risk of injury. Whilst the bicycle frame is a fixed component, there are many parts that can be easily adjusted to dramatically improve your riding experience.

Bike Fitting On Second Bike
$300

This service is for riders that have already done a bike fitting at Embassy and either have a new bike or additional bike they want fitted. The fitting can be for a different style of bike to your first fitting. We have already completed some of the background work, this fitting takes less time than a complete fitting but the outcome is the same high quality. We use the history and additional feedback from the previous riding position to conduct a fitting to this new bike.

 This service includes;

 

  • Pre-fit bike measurement to compare to previous bike and assess differences
  • Comprehensive bike fit using Retul as well as cleat and shoe position
  • Adjustments to the bike to improve the fit
  • Post-fit report and measurements.
