Bike Fitting

 

 
 

Hi Dan,

 
I wanted to give you an update on the fitting you gave me a couple weeks ago. Since then, I have gone about 165 miles over 7 rides. My longest ride was this past Saturday - 40 miles in just over 2.5 hours. So, by now, I feel like I can safely say that I love this new position. At first, I noticed some discomfort in the perineum area, but that went away after a few rides. My knee feels better too. Even climbing up big hills feels better. I also feel like the handling on the bike has improved. Seems like I can take corners a little faster, better climbing out of the saddle, little bit tighter turning radius. All is good so far and I am very pleased with your fitting service. 
 
Thanks again,
 
 
-Artie
 
 

The equipment isn't nearly as important as the fitter.  A bicycle fitter either knows how to fit or he/she doesn't, period.

Solon Bicycle has been performing custom bicycle fittings for over 14 years using the area's most advanced fitting tools and equipment.  We are certified to fit you properly and will never use a bike trainer in this process, because that's just not how it's done correctly.

 

1- Body Scanning Laser Fitting $70*

Bike fitting can be one of the most important aspects in choosing your bicycle or perfecting your fit on your existing bicycle. Bicycles come in many varying geometries that can affect your overall comfort, pedaling efficiency, and performance capabilities. Needless to say the correct fit is very important and should be the highest priority when selecting you new bicycle.

Many conventional fitting methods rely on personal experience and opinion along with the potential for inaccurate measurements. The Body Scanning CRM uses modern technologies to ensure precision resulting in a vastly more accurate fit for the rider based on exact measurements. 

*Body Scanning is included FREE with new road bike purchase.  If you choose to pay for this service and buy your road bike from us within 30 days, we will refund the fitting fee on the bike invoice.

Lasers? How does that work?

The Body Scanning CRM (photo) is not a prop from a recent episode of Star Trek. Rather, it's a quick, easy way to guarantee a comfortable, ergonomic fit for your bicycle. 

Our Laser Measuring Module takes five measurements from different locations in a completely non-invasive procedure that won't hurt and doesn't even require anyone to touch you. After we take the measurements our computers go to work and Body Scanning CRM turns out the optimal measurements for your bicycle. 

Advantages of Body Scanning CRM

While your last bike may have fit adequately without a fit like this, Body Scanning takes the "maybe" and guesswork out of the equation. Our detailed calculations accurately gauge your body dimensions and factor in your riding style with no chance for human error.

In fact, with Body Scanning CRM, every one of our employees can provide you with the correct fit. The process is also as quick and easy as it is efficient. There's no need to wear special clothes or subject yourself to hours of measurement. In most cases you don't even need to remove your shoes!

 
What's Next?

All you need to do is relax and enjoy the experience! We'll have you stand in the Body Scanning Module (photo), place your head against the wall and then we'll use the Body Scanner to take your measurements. This is done with a completely harmless mild laser light that takes the five all-important measurements.

 

The Laser Measures:

Body Scan Laser Measurements

   1. Height

   2. Shoulder Width

   3. Shoulder Height  

   4. Arm Length  

   5. Hip Height

 You're Ready To Ride!

  After taking the measurements, your consultant will ask you several brief questions to determine the type of riding you intend to do. Then, we enter your measurements and riding info into the Body Scanning CRM software. 

This program provides accurate, detailed feedback on each cycling measurement and recommendation. Then our Body Scan's Bicycle Adjustment Tool transfers computed measurements directly to your bicycle.  

The result is a whole new ride. Enjoy the comfort and be sure to take it easy on your friends as you dole out newfound power!

We're excited to be able to provide this space-age ultra-precise measurement system. If you have questions about Body Scanning CRM or any other aspect of cycling or bicycle fitting please don't hesitate to ask!
