Frequently Asked Questions
What is a mobile bike fit?
A professional mobile bike fit is a service where a trained expert comes to your location to adjust and tailor your bicycle to your specific body measurements and riding style. This ensures optimal comfort, efficiency, and performance.
Why should I get a bike fit?
Getting a bike fit can significantly improve your riding experience. It helps in reducing discomfort, preventing injuries, and increasing efficiency and power output. Whether you’re a casual rider or a competitive cyclist, a proper bike fit is essential for enjoying your rides to the fullest.
How long does a bike fit take?
A typical bike fit takes approximately 2 hours, depending on your specific needs and the adjustments required. Our goal is to ensure your bike fits you perfectly, so we take the time needed to get every detail right.
What do need for the bike fit?
Your bike, cycling shoes, and your usual cycling attire. It’s important to fit you in the gear you normally ride in to ensure the adjustments are tailored to your regular riding conditions. If you would like any additional bikes or shoes fitted at the same time, please have them available.
Can you fit all types of bikes?
Yes, we specialise in fitting all types of bikes, including road, mountain, triathlon, TT, gravel and even static training bikes such as Peloton and Watt bike. Each type of bike has unique fitting considerations, which we are fully equipped to handle.
How do I prepare for the bike fit?
Ensure your bike is clean and in good working condition. If you have any specific concerns or areas of discomfort while riding, be ready to discuss them during your appointment as the bike fitter will ask you all of this.
How much space do I need for the bike fit?
You’ll need enough space to set your bike up on a turbo trainer and our bike fitter will also have an exercise mat for you to undergo your biomechanical assessments. This is a rough area of 2 to 3 meters squared.
If you could also make sure that any valuable or precious belongings are removed from the fitting space and please ensure that any pets (or small children) are also kept away from the fitting area.
Is a mobile bike fit as effective as a studio fit?
Absolutely! Our mobile bike fit service offers the same level of expertise and precision as a studio fit. The advantage is that we bring this service directly to you, providing convenience without compromising on quality.

what to expect
Our bike fitter will be in touch to reconfirm your booking the day before.
On the day of your bike fit, we aim to arrive 5 to 10 minutes early.
Our bike fitter will bring all the equiptment required for the fitting into your location and set up in the area provided. You don’t need anything other than your bike(s), any shoes you want fitting on the day and to be ready in your cycling kit.
We’ll have mats to put down on your floor so our equiptment won’t leave a mark. Any areas of your bike that are adjusted will be fully wiped down afterwards
The offer of a decent coffee always makes a bike fitter’s day…..but that’s up to you!
