One of the most important and often overlooked aspects of bicycle performance is proper fit. Nothing else you can do to your bike will make a bigger difference to your comfort, efficiency and aerodynamics. Poor fit can slow you down, waste energy, and even cause injuries.
The staff at Racer Sportif use the Fit Kit as a tool to ensure that each bicycle is ideally suited to its rider. Your body is precisely measured to determine the ideal frame size for you, and then to optimize your position on that frame with the right choice of stem and cranks, and the right positioning of your stem, saddle, seatpost and cleats. Since even two people of the same height can have different needs, we also measure your inseam, arm length, torso length, and foot size, and the Fit Kit formula takes it all into consideration to determine your optimum riding position.
At Racer Sportif, it doesn't stop there. Especially for riders who put in a lot of miles, the experienced eyes of our personnel can fine tune that position further to accommodate things like unique pedaling styles or old injuries.
It takes time, but if you still want to be riding comfortably - and fast - years from now its worth it. |
