Bike Fitting FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I don't have light colored jersey or shorts?

No problem, those only make the video a little easier to analyze and make it easier for me to demonstrate teach you using the video. You can get by fine with solid black shorts.

What other tools or systems do you use besides Wobblenaught and Dartfish?

Our resident fit expert, Karl Etzel, has been to the Slowtwitch Fit Institute (FIST) and is well versed in the use of various tools and products from Bike Fit Systems, Sole, as well as a wide variety of bike components that can help get your bike set up just right. The most important ingredient is the knowledge and experience of someone for whom bike fitting is not a necessary adjunct to selling a few bikes, but a major focus of time & energy.

What if something still does not feel right after the fit?

While we don't hear this often, it does happen. We try to be upfront and let people know that bike fitting can be an iterative process involving some trial & error. Anyone who tells you different is blowing smoke.

For this reason, follow up consultations are offered free of charge, whether they are via phone, email, or in person.
