So, you’ve just purchased your new bike and are now looking to get the most out of it. Well, one of the best ways to do this is to have a professional bike fitting carried out.

To help you understand a little more about bike fitting and why they’re so important, we’ve listed below answers to some of the more common questions that we get asked.

Remember, if you have any specific queries then please feel free to call us or pop in and visit. At Trisports we’re mad about bikes so are always happy to get an opportunity to talk about them even more!

Q: What is a bike fit?
A: In the same way that a good tailor will take a series of measurements and make adjustments to ensure that your new suit fits as well as possible, a bike fit allows a qualified professional to look at you on your bike and then also make a series of adjustments to ensure that you are getting the most out of your ride.

Q: Why should I have a bike fit?
A: Whether you’re looking for ride comfort, pure performance or to reduce stress around a weak area such as a lower back, an expert bike fitting will ensure that you’re getting the best out of your bike, and yourself, every time you ride.

Q: What if I just want to get fitted to my existing bike?
A: That’s absolutely fine. Just give us a call, let us know what bike you have and what you’re looking to achieve i.e. comfort or performance and we’ll book you in for a fitting with one of our qualified experts.

Q: What should I bring with me on the day?
A: Along with your bike, bring with you what you ordinarily wear on a ride. A pair of bike shorts and clipless shoes (if you use them) is usually fine.

Q: How long will my bike fit take?
A: An average bike fit takes around one hour to complete but we never end a bike fit until you’re absolutely satisfied with your set-up.

Q: How much does a bike fit cost?
A: Please contact the store for further information.
