This bike fit is for those who are injured and/or experiencing symptoms when cycling and/or looking for improvements in performance. Whether it’s starting a strength and conditioning plan, or learning more about cycling technique and scientific training, this option will cover these areas. It will include a full pre-bike fit screening that will examine movements and flexibility specific to the sport and muscle strength/endurance tests. The bike fit itself uses the same high grade camera used with GebioMized bike fitting software and saddle pressure mapping. Any changes to cleats are made and advice on insoles/shoes is given, if required. A full detailed report on the findings from the screening, advice on management of any injuries, pedal technique tips, and the bike fit pre and post images is compiled and sent within 48 hours after the bike fit.
GebioMized foot pressure mapping can be added to this bike fit option at a cost of €30.
It is strongly recommended to include this technology if you are struggling with foot and/or knee issues. Foot pressure mapping is used to assess the distribution of pressure/force in the shoe, and from this information, we can see how stable your foot is and also use props to help shift the pressure/force to the correct areas to improve the foot:pedal interface. Foot pressure mapping also provides very detailed insight into your pedaling quality using force/time plots. The research tells us that the most efficient pedal stroke is one that can extend the time at peak force. Your peak force occurs at 3pm in the pedal stroke. The force time plots, shown below, will track your pedal stroke and can show you where you need to work on and will also help steer the bike fit. A small change in saddle height can significantly improve the pedal stroke shown by an improvement in the force/time plots.
