Be one with your bike:
Having a professional bike fit done is critical to receiving the most out of your cycling experience. Every cyclist, from the first time novice to professional racer, can benefit from proper positioning on their bicycle to optimize comfort, speed, and efficiency. Here at Bountiful Bike we utilize the Body Geometry Fit (BG Fit) method developed by Specialized and the Boulder Center for Sports Medicine. This fit system combines dynamic fitting with a careful assessment of the rider's bio-mechanics, cycling goals, and individual needs to achieve their ideal position on the bike. We are proud Taylor Felt is now one of only about 30 Certified Master BG Fit technicians in the country.
Fit Experience:
When scheduling a fit at Bountiful Bike you are committed to the most advanced bike fit available outside of a clinical setting. We genuinely care about your needs as a cyclist. Bike fitting requires an in-depth understanding of your unique physical characteristics, therefore every bike fit begins with a detailed pre-fit assessment. During this evaluation we discuss your goals, injury history, and expectations to ensure that your fit experience is approached correctly. Flexibility and strength assessments are used to gather information needed to determine what positions on the bike are possible and appropriate for you.
Upon completion of the pre-fit assessment we find the proper position on your bike that will increase your efficiency, power, and comfort. A BG Fit focuses on placing the rider in a custom neutral position that allows adaptation to any terrain you may encounter and ensures ideal alignment through the pedal stroke. Using the information gathered in the assessment we fit your bike relative to your individual bio-mechanics and needs.
Because proper bike fitting relies on 3-Dimensional alignment through the pedal stroke, your fit is completed by finding the ideal foot, knee, and hip placement throughout your pedal stroke. What separates a BG Fit from many other fit methods is the understanding of your body gathered in the assessment. With this information we can ensure that any correction we apply is appropriate and beneficial and the potential for injury is minimized.
During your fit it may be necessary to replace certain components or equipment to achieve optimal results. A fit is also the perfect time to replace worn items like cleats and pedals, or upgrade to a higher end component like a ergonomic carbon bar.
How to Schedule a BG Fit:
Because of the level of service provided during a fitting, BG Fits are done by appointment only. A typical BG Fit session will be 1.5 to 2 hours so please schedule accordingly. You may give us a call at 801-295-6711 to schedule your fit with Taylor.
What to bring to your fit:
Come to your fit with all your equipment including a clean riding shorts, top, and shoes. Because it may take some time for your body to adjust to a new position on the bike it is also a good idea to schedule a fit well in advance of any events or heavy training periods you have coming up.
