Bike Fitting and Other Bike Services
Professional bike fit using Computrainer (additional
costs for new cables and/or stem may apply). $75 (follow-up
adjustments to same bike $25)
An intensive, one-on-one bike fitting begins with filling out our
questionnaire that will tell Chris about your racing goals and any
problems you are experiencing with your current fit. After a
warm-up, Chris will begin making adjustments to make you more
comfortable and more powerful. A Computrainer will be utilized
to monitor how fit changes are affecting your power output.
Expect the session to take 1-2 hours. Please bring all your
normal riding gear to a fit session: shoes, cycling shorts, helmet.
A tight-fitting bike jersey will make the fit process a bit easier.
Chris has personally been through a number of bike fittings by some
of the best in the industry. He has been doing informal bike
fits for local racers for many years. One advantage of getting
fit by Chris rather than at your local bike shop is that you can be
certain that any component changes he recommends are only in your
best interest. Shops have an incentive to sell you additional
parts you may not really need during a fit session. After
being fitted on your bike, you will also leave with a list of
recommended or optional component changes as well as
stretching/strengthening exercises if needed.
Bike Services
Chris has been working on bikes since way before he could drive.
He has built countless bikes from scratch and is more meticulous
with your bike than a busy shop. He knows how hard you’ve
trained for that “A” race and how disappointing it is to have a
mechanical failure. The following services are available as
