Who it's for

Made for every kind of cyclist

Whether you're buying your first road bike or upgrading after years in the saddle, a pre-purchase fit saves money and prevents injury.

01

First-time buyers

Entering the world of cycling is exciting — and expensive. Don't waste your budget on a bike that doesn't suit your body or your ambitions.

02

Upgrading cyclists

Moving from your entry-level bike to something serious? Your new bike's geometry might be very different. Make sure the change is an upgrade in every sense.

03

Cyclists with pain or injuries

Back pain, knee issues, wrist discomfort — our physio background means we understand how fit affects injury risk, not just performance.

FAQ

Common questions

Still wondering? Here are the questions we hear most from cyclists before they book.

What happens if I haven't chosen a bike yet? −
No problem at all. Many clients come to us with just a budget and a riding goal. We'll help you narrow down which type of bike, geometry style, and size range to look for — making your search at the bike shop or online far more focused.
Do I need to be a serious cyclist? +
Absolutely not. We work with everyone from first-time commuters to competitive road cyclists. Our advice is always tailored to your experience level and goals, not an assumed performance standard.
What technology do I need for the video call? +
Just a smartphone, tablet, or laptop with a camera and stable internet connection. We'll send you a simple link before your appointment — no app downloads required.
Can I use this advice at any bike shop? +
Yes. Your written summary includes specific size recommendations and notes that are brand-agnostic and shop-agnostic. Take it to any local bike shop or use it when buying online — the advice is yours to keep and use wherever you choose.
What if I'm buying a second-hand bike? +
Our service works equally well for pre-owned bike purchases. In fact, it's arguably more important — when buying second-hand, there's often no easy return policy, so getting the fit right before you buy is critical.
Is this different from an in-person bike fit? +
Yes — an in-person bike fit happens after you've purchased and uses a fitting rig to dial in your position on a specific bike. Our Pre-Purchase Fit is designed to happen before you buy, using your measurements and bike specifications to guide your purchase decision. Many clients do both — and if you do, we offer a discount on your in-person fit.
