My Bicycle Fitting Methodology
I start by establishing a relationship with the Rider learning his/her short and long -term ambitions.
My fit method is simple and effective. Whether we are looking to solve discomfort or add power, I identify the root source. The harmony between the Rider and their bike is the primary focus.
There is a science and a natural feel to fitting. Individually the adjustments may seem small but collectively they make a meaningful difference. What I love about fitting is that the results can be felt right away. Its instantaneous. It is very rewarding to me to see my Customers do more (watts) with less (effort).
I have an intuitive understanding of human dynamics and how the body relates to a bicycle.

foot and cleat relationship

sitting bones contact points

dynamic arm and leg movement

pelvic tilt

line of sight
The Rider should feel as if they are IN the bike, not ON the bike. This sensation provides quicker inputs/outputs leading to more efficiency which improves Rider performance. Fitting happens in small steps, but it is no small thing.
I am a competitive cyclist - experienced in multiple cycling disciplines. Road, Mountain, Cross, Downhill, and Gravel. I have a unique insight and cross-functional fit knowledge of multiple riding positions.
