Bike Fit

At Bicycle Design Centre we work with current Elite National Champions to design & build their frames, so we know a little bit about how a bike handles , and where you should be sitting on it for optimum power & efficiency.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now for the bad news , you cannot be fitted to any bike , if it’s the wrong size, we will tell you and won’t waste your money like other Bike Fitters in Ireland. 

We guarantee a successful bike fit , and don’t charge if a follow up visit is needed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We use the latest bike fitting technology and software to take the ‘guesswork and opinion’ out of Bike Fitting ,allowing you to try your ideal Frame Size, Crank Length, Stem Length & Bar Width without compromise. 

Our Bikefits are unbiased by Brand or Components, and with this in mind, we will make recommendations, but will not sell you anything extra (even a stem).

Using a combination of our Sizer Cycle, Fit Kit Systems Measuring Tools and Licensed Bicycle Design Software, we can guarantee the perfect Bike Fit for you.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Once your measurements are complete , we can duplicate the geometry on our Sizer Cycle, and you can Test Ride your new position, and make changes before going out and purchasing a New Stem / Crankset / Saddle / Frame.

If you have a particular bike in mind, we can set you up from their published geometry charts. This allows you to check the fit of the correct size frame and get the right stem length, Crank Length , and saddle position on the first try. This makes special ordering frames easy and risk-free.
