Bike Fit Kit

The Club has a bicycle “Fit Kit” which is used to fit you to your bike.

This is an analogue bike fit with manual measuring tools and data tables. You may of course have had a bike fit (with or without digital imaging) at a bicycle shop.

FCBUG members are welcome to a bicycle fit with the “ Fit Kit” as a free service.

The Fit Kit is a manual set of precision measuring tools, with data tables developed over 20 years of research using a wide cross section of bike riders, from recreational to elite level.

The Kit uses a cyclist’s body measurements and personal information including age range and flexibility. This information is used to determine the three main contact points with your bike: the pedals, the saddle and the handlebars.

As well as fitting you to your bike, a bike fit can be used to solve common problems such as pain or discomfort relating to poor riding positions.

Members can arrange a fitting appointment by contacting our the FCBUG Secretary who can liaise with the clubs Bike Fit Co-ordinators.
