Professional bike fitting
At HUB, we are strong advocates that size really does matter. Discomfort when riding is so common that many riders simply believe it’s part of the experience. This is not the case and we can show you otherwise. Having the correct fit not only makes for a better riding experience, it also helps prevent or correct many of the cycling related problems and injuries associated with an incorrect bike fit.
Our commitment is to riders. Having invested in a road bike or mountain bike you want to be sure it is right for you. Size and fit really do matter if you want to create a perfect synergy between yourself and your bike. This gives comfort, optimal performance, and enables you to ride longer.
The expertise and experience of our Bike Fit Technician ensures sizing is no ‘hit and miss’ affair. Every fitting is unique taking into account individual variability of anatomy, flexibility, range of motion and riding style to define your riding position. We use video footage to capture you at different stages while riding. This makes the fitting far more accurate and enables us to freeze frame the video capture to focus on specific areas so you can get optimal position.
Whether you are struggling with an injury, trying to beat your personal best, an elite level athlete, or just wanting to be comfortable on your bike our bike fit options are tailored for you.
