Bike Fitting Services

Pedal Power offers several different fitting services that will help you ride more!  Please contact us via phone, web, or in person for a more detailed explanation of our fitting services or techniques. Contact us to begin a Bike Fitting Inquiry.

  • Existing Bike Fit - Includes: extensive pre-fitting interview, our standard body analysis to gauge your flexibility, core strength, and range-of-motion; foot analysis, motion-video capture during the fitting, and saddle pressure mapping. (You may upgrade to a full saddle pressure analysis if you desire). We perform the fitting on your current bicycle. Your pre-fit and post-fit bike dimensions are recorded and documented. (1.5-2 hrs)
  • Size Cycle Fit - You get the same interview, standard body and foot analysis, motion-video capture, and a single, baseline saddle pressure map as our Existing Fit. We perform the fitting on our fully adjustable Size Cycle, where we can determine your ideal position outside of the constraints of a pre-existing bicycle. This fitting is perfect if you have more than one bike that you would like to fit the same and is part of our custom-made bicycle process. Aerobars require an upgrade as they are time intensive to adjust. A full saddle pressure analysis upgrade is available with this fitting as well. (Bring your current bike and shoe/pedals as they have great information worn into them!)
  • Saddle Pressure Analysis - Each fitting we perform includes saddle pressure mapping. We use this tool to confirm saddle position. Saddle pressure analysis enables our bike fit professionals to investigate how changes in saddle model or body position affect your dynamic saddle pressure, pelvic rotation, and pelvic movement. Saddle pressure is no longer an ambiguous, anecdotal measurement. Measurable data and a visual representation that doubles as biofeedback during your fitting elevate our ability to make you more stable, efficient, and comfortable while riding.
  • Triathlon/TT - Tri fitting includes all the existing bike fit process with an aero twist. We can help you PR your favorite course!
  • Second/Third or 10th Bike Match - Have another bicycle or few that you'd like to fit the same as your first bike? We can make that happen!
  • Other Services - Don't see a service that you would like performed? Feel free to contact us via phone, email or in-person. Chances are good that we can tailor something specific to align with your fitting needs.

All fittings are by appointment only in our Middletown location.  You will need to bring all of your regular cycling clothing (jersey, shorts, shoes, etc). Snug fitting cycling clothing is important as it allows the fitter to observe the contours of your body. If you do not own cycling shorts or a jersey, we have an assortment for sale. Consider arriving early should you need to try on some options to find your favorite fit.

(Bring your current bike and shoe/pedals to all fittings as they have great information worn into them! Even size cycle fittings.)
