Bicycle fitting is not a simple process of sitting on the bike, gently pedalling and adjusting the bike to what looks right under those condition. As the demand on the body is different when pedalling lightly as opposed to riding under effort, it is important to look at what the body is doing when under load. Also the bike fit should reflect the goals and the physical musculoskeletal capability of the rider as the “pro” setup with the slammed stem, super long stem and tall seat height may not be appropriate for your average everyday rider.
PLEASE NOTE:
In our PhysioTec Brisbane physio clinic, we use a Kinect Trainer and therefore, unfortunately, we are unable to accomodate a single sided Thru Axel having a covered port above the rear derailleur, which would stop our ability to use an adaptor to mount on our trainer. We can accomodate Thru axels with access from both sides as we have adaptors in clinic. We apologise for our limitations.

The Bike Fit Process
The process will involve a detailed interview of personal physical health in particular previous injuries concerns, current activity levels and future cycling goals.
Physical assessments related to cycling posture and demand will then be conducted to give a much better picture of how it affects the rider when on the bike. Specific therapeutic exercises will be given to assist with improving any identified problem areas that needed to be addressed.
On-the-bike assessment will involve putting the rider under “effort” intervals which will allow a better view of what the rider does when under load and fatigue. This will give a much clearer picture of dynamic issues that needed to be addressed. With each adjustment, the rider will be reassessed in the new position to see if any difference was evident or felt by the cyclist.
90min session which includes:
- Comprehensive off the bike biomechanical assessment of your body
- On-bike assessments and adjustments of cleats, seat height, bike saddle fore/aft, stem/handlebar positions.
