BIKE SIZING SESSION
BIKE SIZING SESSION
Are you thinking about buying a shiny new bike, but you are asking yourself:
"What size bike do I need?" or "What style frame should I buy?". Or, you might be thinking about "Buying a bike online".
The BC Bike Fit Sizing Session can answer all your questions
Buying a new bike can be a challenging expensive process. Understanding what frame will fit and suit your needs is where you want to start. To add to that some of the new modern-day bicycles often have a proprietary handlebar assembly or maybe even a one-piece mono bar with internal cable routing. The details about this front end are important and can be established prior to purchase.
The Size Cycle Session can answer all your questions with focus on frame size which is achieved by finding optimal Stack and Reach. Modern day cycling is about the details. Everything from crank length, stem length, bar width, steer tube length, handlebar drop, saddle height and what brand and model of the saddle is most comfortable will be established during the Sizing Session.
How Does It Work?
This service starts with a sizing session on the Purely Custom Size Cycle. Through the professional process we can then begin to find the best possible cycling position. Once this is completed, we then use Stack and Reach to mathematically understand which real-world bikes will best re-create that position for you. Then we will establish a list of bikes to go and demo ride or provide some peace of mind for that online purchase.
Once the purchase has been made, you can return to the BC Bike Fit studio for your final fitting.

LAKE SHOE SESSION
LAKE SHOE SESSION
During your complimentary LAKE shoe session, we will go through a professional approach to truly finding a shoe that fits the shape of your foot. All too often riders are complaining about foot discomfort that often is the result of a shoe that is too narrow. LAKE is the best at understanding not just length but also the width and overall shape of the rider's foot.
I will take the time to understand what type of riding do you do and what shoe will best meet your needs.
Then we will measure your foot to get a better understanding of the shape and width. From here we will try on some LAKE shoes to begin to see what is going to work.
After you have decided on the shoe I can install the cleat and get you up on your bike for a front-view pedal stroke assessment. This gives us a chance to really evaluate the fit and feel and how the cleat position feel.
At BC Bike Fit we get you set up so that you are Ride Ready!
What to bring to your LAKE shoe session?

-
Cycling shorts
-

FOOT PEDAL & CRANK ARM LENGTH
FOOT PEDAL & CRANK ARM LENGTH SESSION
One area where BC Bike Fit differentiates itself from other fit systems is the focus on the foot-pedal interface and crank arm length. For example, an average cyclist completing a 100 mile ride ("a century") will have rotated the pedals 54,000 times* their legs/feet are clearly doing a lot of work. That is why BC Bike Fit places so much emphasis on the foot/pedal connection set up.
In order to fairly evaluate the pedal stroke we can not overlook Crank Arm Length. More often than not I see riders with Cranks that are to long. The question is if you are going to go to a shorter crank, what is the optimal length? At BC Bike Fit I have a Size Cycle with an adjustable crank. We can start by replicating your current cockpit set up and then allow you to try anything length from 155mm to 180mm. This is the best way to understand what works and feels right for you the cyclist.
Recent studies show 96% of cyclists are misaligned in their connection to the bicycle, decreasing comfort, and efficiency which can lead to all kinds of problems one in particular is knee pain. We can move a little on the saddle and re-locate our hands on the bar but once the cleat is engaged into the pedal there is very little movement. This is why the cleat has to be position correctly for optimal performance, efficiency and comfort and reducing the possibly of an injury.
Book your 1-hour Foot/Pedal Crank session today and make this contact area a positive and powerful one. You need to bring your bike in along with shoes in order to get that system re-set. Or, BC Bike Fit sells LAKE shoes, pedals and cleats if this is needed. If you buy a pair of LAKE cycling shoes the Foot Pedal session is complimentary with that purchase.
Don't overlook the importance of the Foot Pedal interface and crank arm length, book your Pedal session today.
