Free Bike Fitting!

Lately, it seems, we’ve been getting more questions about bike fit. To be sure, the questions relate to pain while riding the bike, which generally lead to fitting questions. Knee pain, back pain, neck pain, wrist pain top the list with many folks looking for a silver bullet cure to what ails them. Unfortunately, there isn’t one when it comes to bike fitting. But there are a few tricks of the trade. And you have little more to do than poke at your keyboard to discover how to find he perfect DIY bike fit.

Amid the wasteful expanse of the Internet exists real information on all sorts of topics. Bike fitting is just one of them. For one of the most in-depth explanations, head over to Slowtwitch to learn a little bit more about the bike fitting method we employ at Triple Sports. We spent a few days with Dan Empfield – the inventor of the triathlon bike and big brand Quintana Roo – to learn not just about fitting, but the theory behind it. Sounds exciting, huh? Well, if that isn’t how you want to spend your weekend, most of what we are taught can be found on Empfield’s website – free. Yet, Empfield isn’t the only man with a horse in the race.

Excellent resources can be found on a couple of other websites. The best part about them is that you can learn about fitting issues using a specific pain to point you in the right direction. For example, Sheldon Brown explains a whole host of problems from ankles to thighs and beyond. Another place to look is BikeFitting.com. Under the FAQ tree there is more information than you will need as a home fitter to fix yourself. And, if you look around, you’ll find plenty more. But remember that if it’s an expert hand you want, we’re always here to help. Most of our bike fits are just $50.
