Road Bike Fit
3 Key points
Fitting is a process of taking as much information as possible and turning it into a position that sees a human semi-fixed to a rigid machine at 3 key points - Pedals, Saddle and Bars.
Our 5 step protocol
Skipping a step leads to a poor fit. We follow a procedure of:
- Pre-fit assessment
- Cleat and pedal set up
- Biomechanical analysis
- Bike Fit changes
- Post fit analysis and report
Road or Gravel
With the latest craze of gravel bikes along with the ongoing boom in road cycling we are well placed to offer great knowledge in both areas. Total Bike Fit is headed up by a former 1st cat road racer and one of the very few people to finish the GB divide - a 1200 mile ride the length of the UK.
Aero TT/Tri Bike Fit
TT vs Triathlon
Getting specific to your sport is critical to us. The triathlon fit considers a balance of everything you need to run well off the bike. The differences are subtle but very important and often overlooked.
Aero is everything?
A nice phrase but great aerodynamics come from a great platform of stability and biomechanics. We then use our knowledge from hours of testing in the real world and wind tunnel to fine tune your aero position.
All the bells and whistles included
With so much knowledge and experience in making athletes fast, we know that great positions don't happen over night. Start the process the right way with out Ultimate Aero Fit package. Take away a new level of knowledge of yourself and the path forward to progressing further over time.
Motion Capture System
Measure what matters
Alongside out expert bike fitters knowledge, the STT 2DMA system gives us instant and in-motion analysys of your position, ensuring your fit is biomechanically optimised
State of the art
Technology is changing cycling in all areas, and none more so that in bike fitting. Combine motion capture with Saddle mapping and you get to really see how the cyclist is operating on the bike
Fit Reports
With .instant reports generated from the motion capture system, the fitters individual notes along with your flexibility and anatomical infotmation - a complete and through picture is created and reported on
Saddle Pressure Mapping
Pressure Matters!
The ultimate fit tool in our eyes. Quantifiable data which not only makes you more comfortable but measures change at all contact points and optimises stability and performance.
Secret Saddle Club
Working closely with what feel are the best saddles for cyclists, optimised from the data gathered in 50,000 fits gives you the option to test and upgrade to the perfect saddle - Range HERE
Guiding parameters
Using one of our key guiding parameters we can create unique testing protocols for the individual to maximise all gains in position. Stability, centre of pressure, force and pressure distribution allow us to guide you to the perfect position for your needs.
Physical Analysis
We need to understand your body
The basis of any great fit is in the pre-fit. Performing a series of tests and measurements we can make informed fit decisions during your fit session.
Common limitations
Issues in many fits come from assuming that their are optimal angles for bike fitting. Pelvic tilt, hip mobility, hamstring flexibility are all common fit limiters. Knowing these optimises your fit.
Cleat/Pedal set up is key
"Performance starts at the pedal". Our in-depth cleat/shoe interface service is included in every fit or can be carried out as a stand alone service.

TESTIMONIALS
What our clients say
My first 100TT yesterday, the classic Anfield one. 4:41:14 which is 41 mins faster than course record in my age group!! Very comfortable in my position. Well pleased. Brigid Night
Just tested out the new fit properly on a regular 50km ride today and the adjustments really have made a noticeable difference (my average watts are up 7% straight away from my previous best and speed was up too). Thanks again Gavin for your help. Ben Barham
I managed to steal away after the kids got to bed last night and do a quick lap of the cycle path.
I’m no speed demon and in a ‘heavy’ place at 97kg, but I went round the 14.5 mile loop faster than I ever have before. 2mph faster.
Supremely comfy and able to put power down better. Able to use the drops for the entirety of the ride (never been able to do that). Of course it’s only 14.5 miles in the saddle but I have to say the difference is astonishing. Simon Hyde
Phil assessed my current fit making a minor change to my cleat position as I was getting foot pain after more than 1 hour in the saddle (now totally gone ). We also decided on a new seat post and seat to allow my hips to get into the right position for the Tri bars. With a simple seat and seat post change my bike goes from full on road race to a competitive Triathlon machine!! Carl Henson
I was struggling with knee & tendon pain, as well as discomfort in my lower back.
After the fit I noticed a massive improvement in my knee pain and to SO much more comfortable (no back pain) on my bike (And a lot more aero, added bonus for me).
During my second triathlon (middle distance) I knocked 25 mins off my ride time and my legs were ready to rock come the run. I put this down to the bike fit.
No nonsense, hard sell etc. Friendly, knowledgeable and price is very reasonable for the level of service received.
If you haven’t had a fit don’t hesitate, wish I had done it months ago. Nicholas Watkins
