Bike Fitting

When you schedule a bike fitting at Gerk’s, you will get the most advanced fit available outside of an actual clinical setting. We care about your unique needs as a cyclist and realize that bike fitting requires an in-depth understanding of your unique characteristics. Every bike fit begins with a detailed pre-fit assessment, so we can ensure a comfortable ride while taking into consideration your past injuries and discuss your current goals. We use flexibility and strength assessments to gather additional information and to determine what positions on your bike are possible and most appropriate for you. Once your pre-fit assessment has been completed, we will further explore the proper positioning of your bike, so that you are able to increase efficiency, power, and comfort. A BG (Body Geometry) Fit at Gerk’s will focus on placing the rider in a neutral position, enabling adaptation to any terrain they may encounter and ensuring an ideal alignment through the pedal stroke. Using the information gathered in the pre-assessment, we are able to fit your bike in accordance with your individual bio-mechanics and needs. The DATA video system further enables us to analyze each part of your unique pedal stroke and provide a visual reference for recommended improvements that can be made. And because proper bike fitting relies on 3-D alignment through the pedal stroke, we will complete your fit by finding the ideal foot, knee, and hip placement throughout. What separates a BG Fit at Gerk’s from any other fit method is the understanding of your body, gathered in the pre-fit assessment and follow up assessment, with this information we will ensure any correction suggested and its applications are appropriate, reducing your risk of injury and promoting your best ride. Please keep in mind, during your fit process it may be necessary to replace certain components or equipment in order to achieve optimal results. Your BG Fit is also an ideal time to replace any worn items, such as cleats, pedals, or grips, and consider upgrading to a higher end component, such as a carbon bar.
