A do-it-yourself kit, for Road & Mountain bikes.

The Bike Fitting Kit has patented technology developed to help eliminate back pain, maximize breathing capacity, and improve performance.

The Bike Fitting Kit was developed to help cyclist start riding at their full potential, in a comfortable position, and minimize the risk of injury. Most cyclists do not fully understand the importance of being correctly positioned on their bike. The goal is to have your bike adjusted, so that on long rides, your body tires equally without having overworked any particular muscles or joints. At the same time you want to be in a position that allows you to transfer maximum power, with minimum effort. It is impossible to ride at your full potential, if your bike has not been adjusted to fit you. At Cycle Time, our goal is to improve the cycling experience, by providing cyclists with the tools and knowledge required, to use their bike to its full potential.

The kit:

The Bike Fitting Kit comes with an easy to follow instruction manual that will take you step by step through the bike fitting process. It has an assortment of tools that professional fitters use, and will allow you to set your bike up the same way the pros do, based on a combination of body measurements, and your flexibility limits.

The fitting:

The first part of the fitting is the stationary fit. This is comparable to a fitting done by a professional fitter. It will get you within a couple of centimeters of your ideal position. And this is where most bike fittings stop. At Cycle Time, we take it one step further. You will get an additional tool that will allow you to fine tune your bike, based on your body’s feedback. That tool is a discomfort troubleshooting guide. It tells you the likely cause for pain or discomfort in any given area, and then tells you the recommended adjustments to make, to eliminate the discomfort. This will allow you to fine tune your bike, and start riding pain free, at your full potential.

Patented technology:

Handlebar height is the second most important adjustment, and is determined by your flexibility limits. Professional fitters hold your body in certain positions to determine your flexibility range. The bike position indicator will hold you in these same positions, and allow you to take critical measurements, and capture the information. This information is transferred to the set up of your bike, allowing you to get a custom fit, based on your flexibility limits.

Unlimited fittings:

It is beneficial to check your set up if you think your flexibility has changed. This could be due to an injury, practicing yoga, or simply ageing. Unless you ride frequently all year around, you will probably have different flexibility limits in the spring, than in the fall. With the Bike Fitting Kit, you will have unlimited fittings. Owning a Bike Fitting Kit will allow you and your family to check your flexibility frequently to insure a perfect fit, and reduce the risk of injury. The fit of your bicycle is important! Take the time to find the ideal position on your bike, and you will reach a new level of performance in cycling.
