How to prepare for bike fit: what to take and what to ask
It is worth bringing exactly the kit in which you are driving to the setup. Coordinate the bike, pedals and additional tasks with the studio in advance — this way part of the session will not be spent searching for missing items.
Assemble your kit
- A clean, serviceable bike that needs tuning.
- Bicycle covers with installed spikes, familiar insoles and socks.
- The bike form you usually train in.
- The equipment you plan to use: a lounger, a drinking system, another saddle — agree on the list in advance.
- Previous bike Fit report, if available.
This set corresponds to the recommendations Bikefit.ru and JusTTri. The requirements of the chosen studio may differ: for example, you may not need your own bike to pick up a new bike.
Describe the task before the session
Write down what kind of bike you have, how much and where you ride, what you want to change, and whether you plan to buy components. If the problem appears only after a few hours, indicate it. A specific description of the trip is more useful than a request to make a "sports landing".
Tell the specialist about the movement restrictions and recommendations of your doctor, if any. Do not promise yourself a medical result from changing the settings: the purpose of the visit and the capabilities of the specialist should be clear in advance.
Check the address, time and payment
Confirm the address of this particular entry, the method of entry with the bike and the duration of the procedure. A visiting specialist's city in the catalog does not mean a daily appointment.
Ask what replacements may be required and if they are paid separately. Check whether the report and re-correction are enabled. Dealing with packages will help guide about the cost of a bike fit.
Save the result
Ask them to write down the final settings and explain what has changed. Please specify after which trips and with what feedback it is worth returning. Do not change several parameters at once on your own: otherwise it will be more difficult for a specialist to match the sensations with the completed setting.
