Bike Fitting

Improve Your Comfort & Performance

Regardless of what type of cycling you enjoy, you'll benefit from a bike that has been properly adjusted to fit your body and your riding style. Our certified fit specialists will discuss your cycling history and goals. We'll then work with you to determine your ideal riding position.

With a professional bike fit, you can be more comfortable, more efficient, and more powerful on every ride. You’ll also be less likely to sustain injuries on a bike that has been expertly configured to meet your needs.

Retül Fit

We’re proud to offer Retül Fit, one of the most technically advanced bike fitting systems available today. Retül Fit is more than just a bike fit–it’s a way to learn about your body. Learn the root cause of your aches and pains, and how a proper fit will help you achieve your cycling goals while alleviating those pain points.

Retül uses motion capture technology to accurately measure every movement within a millimeter. With this data, our certified fit specialists will adjust your current bike or help you find a new one. This attention to detail will give you a truly personal experience.

Bike Fit Options

At Chilkoot Cyclery we employ three different styles of fitting. These three styles of fitting best suit different styles and levels of riders which enables us to ensure you have the best experience possible. Learn more about our fit services and schedule your appointment today.

BG Fit

Free with Bike Purchase

The first style of fitting we offer is free for all bikes that we sell. We have you mount the bike and hold you up while making sure that you have both a comfortable riding position and healthy extension in your knees. This fit is best for casual riders who are looking for a nice bike that fits well.

Static Fit

Free with Bike Purchase over $1000

Our second offering is free for any bike $1,000.00 and over. During this fit we place your bike on an indoor trainer and have you mount it. We have you get in a riding position and measure your joint angles and create a fit based on that. This fit is best for people who are anticipating spending a long time in the saddle, but it really is great for every individual who wants a bike that fits well.

Retul Fit

$$$

Last but certainly not least is the Dynamic Retul Fit. This fit starts very much like our previous fit, except instead of measuring joint angles by hand we utilize a Retul 3D Motion Analysis Tool. We place a sensor on all of your joints and we have you ride the bike, logging joint stress the whole time. We then get recommendations and make adjustments until the sensors read at an acceptable level. This fit often takes one or two one hour long sessions. This fit is best suited for anyone who has either had issues with fitment in the past or just wants to know beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are getting the best fit possible.

If the Shoe Fits

For maximum power transfer on the road or trail and for exceptional comfort on a spin bike, we recommend clipless cycling shoes and pedals. With stiffer soles and the ability to click into and out of your pedal system easily, cycling shoes make your ride and your workout more efficient, more effective, and more comfortable. Never get stuck in a toe cage again!
