Why Do I Need a Bike Fit?

A well fitted bike will improve your performance, reduce unnecessary strain and give you a more comfortable and enjoyable ride

Whether you are a racer, a commuter or into long distance touring, Hackney Bike Fit will help you make the most of your bicycle

Everyone is welcome. My clients are women, men and/or LBGTQ+

As a female cyclist and one of the few bike fitters in London who is a woman, I’ve experienced many of the female specific issues and am on hand to advise and help you have a pain free ride.

The process I go through with you, the cyclist, is suitable for everyone. At each contact point between you and your bike, we reduce pressure, strain on joints and improve your position. By improving your balance on the bike, less of your muscles are used for postural control. This increases your overall power without increasing exertion and reduces many of the aches and pains people experience on longer rides.

Dynamic Fitting

All of my bike fits are done on your own bicycle using a turbo trainer or on my adjustable bike fitting jig. It is important to perform the fit while you are cycling as your weight distribution and the pressure on your joints changes as you pedal. I use a combination of observation and feedback from you, the cyclist. Your bike fit will be influenced by your riding style and cycling goals, not a computer algorithm

  • My stationary cycle trainer has a maximum weight limit of 150kg /330lb including bike

    My smart trainer and fitting jig have maximum weight limits of 113kg/ 250lbs

    Contact me if you are above this limit and would like a bike fit as it may still be possible

  • My bike fits are done in a private space at the back on the London Bike Studio shop. During your bike fit, no one is allowed to enter the space except us.

    If you wear an abaya or loose outer clothing, I may ask you to remove it for the fit. I can provide a better bike fit when I can see your joint positions move while cycling

  • I no longer provide a mobile bike fitting service as a standard option. If there is a reason that you would be more comfortable having your bike fit at home or another venue, please contact me to discuss as it may still be possible

  • When you pay for your bike fit, you are paying for my time. If I recommend new components, including different length stems, new cleats, footbeds and/or wedges, these come at an additional cost. Many components are available on the day either from myself or London Bike Studio

    For some items including different width handlebars, London Bike Studio will charge a fee for fitting the item, as they will also wrap the bars. The fitting of new stems is included, if your cables allow it to be changed easily. Options and costs can be discussed if and when they become necessary
