Fit Services - Frequently Asked Questions

Here are a couple of questions we get commonly asked by customers who are interested getting a bike fitting.

What is bike fitting?

At Bike Gallery, bike fitting is the process of adjusting, moving, and aligning the bicycle while simultaneously educating the customer about cycling form.  Bicycles are adjustable. Seat height, seat fore and aft, handlebar shape, brake lever position, stem length and angle, and stem angle and height can all be adjusted. Although your body is not adjustable it can be analyzed, understood, and fit to your bicycle.

What are the benefits of bike fitting?

Our fitting process will assess your flexibility, injury history, athletic history, riding style, and goals in order to determine your optimal riding position and resulting in a more efficient and more comfortable riding position.

Can’t I do it myself?

Proper Bike fitting requires technical expertise and training. Our Fit repecialists apply an understanding of body alignment, anatomy, and physiology to build a foundation cycling knowledge. That expertise removes the guesswork and results in a perfect union between body and bicycle.
