Have you decided on one of my services?
Thank you for your trust. Please take some time to plan your appointment perfectly. I am already looking forward to working with you.
What do I need for the fit?
- For a fit, cleats adjustment or the making of custom footbeds: your (clean?) bike(s), tires inflated properly. The fit is dynamic; the measurements (motion capture, saddle pressure measurement), and pedaling technique assessment are made while you pedal.
- For triathlon and time trial bikes: the complete kit that came with the bike. In case of a second-hand bike, please make sure that you got everything that should come with the bike to adjust the front end.
- All formulas: your cycling shoes. Cleats adjustment is important and part of the fit. Brand new cleats don’t give me any pieces of information so please, don’t mount new cleats before the fit. Of course, if they are worn out, I will replace them, but only after having seen the old ones (on your shoes!) Please check the corresponding box is a second pair of cleats have to be verified/adjusted.
- All formulas: your usual cycling outfit, preferably short. Measurements made with jeans would completely distort the results.
- Formulas Basic & Ortho: an outfit adapted to the weather. After the adjustments, a small outdoor test will be proposed (except for the Express-formula) to make the feeling come true.
- For a fit: your competition helmet for triathlon or time trial. The helmet will also be necessary in case of an outdoor test.
- Formulas Basic & Ortho: medical reports or X-ray check-ups if you consult for pain or discomfort related to cycling.
- All formulas: you have the opportunity to take a shower after your session, so all you need for that purpose.
- Time; the session lasts between two and four hours, depending on the chosen formula(s). And sometimes small adjustments might take more time than expected.
PLEASE REREAD THIS LIST THE DAY BEFORE OF YOUR APPOINTMENT ?
Do you adjust the cleats?
A bike fitting without checking the correct position of the cleats is inconceivable. It is an important element of the fit, both for an optimal force transfer and the prevention of problems upstream: knees, hips, … up to to the hands. Please do NOT replace the cleats prior to the session; we might lose an important source of information.
The adjustment of the cleats is, therefore, part of the fit, but is also proposed in an isolated session. In this case, I prefer that you come with your bike so that I check in dynamics the accuracy of the settings and the need to proceed to other adaptations (varus, valgus, leg length discrepancy, pressure distribution, length of the pedals spindles, …)
Will I leave the session with my bike set?
Normally yes, if your frame is not way too small or too large. I stock components (stems, handlebars, aerobars, saddles, pedals, cleats, …) to improve your position. I can mount them on the spot but if you don’t like the brands I use, I provide you with the pieces of information you need to make the changes yourself.
Will I get a report after the session?
Your bike and its setup are measured before and after the adjustments. A fit report will be sent to you by mail as well as the initial and final video sequences.
Your data are always saved; if you lose them, feel free to contact me.
Do you give me recommendations for the purchase of the next bike after the fitting?
You only get a list of bikes, corresponding to your position, following the bike-sizing, but not after your bike-fitting. The final result of your bike fitting can direct you to a type of geometry and possibly some brands and models that can be taken into account.
On request (using a new contact form, please), model recommendations with the exact size and necessary components can be made in a second step: the “bike prescription”. It requires concentration, research, calculations, email exchanges, and some knowledge, so ….. time. I hope I can count on your understanding if this time is charged at 20 € per quarter of an hour.
The more precise your request, the less it will cost you.
- The calculations are based on precise coordinates, not on evaluations. These are the coordinates measured at the end of your fitting.
- I only use them for the next bike calculations if you want to keep your final position resulting from your fitting.
- If the last fitting is more than two years old, I recommend a bike-sizing!
- Remember the limitations of fitting: the final position of the fitting is the one allowed by your bike and its components. Ideally, your bike should match perfectly your position. Unfortunately, very often, the opposite occurs: a position that could be better but that has to adapt to the bike and its components. That’s the reason why I recommend a bike sizing for the purchase of the next dream bike. The cost of such a session is ridiculous compared to the money you lose if you buy the wrong bike.

Can I expect a discount if I have been sent by a friend who has already visited Bikefit.lu?
Giving a discount would mean that the service is not worth the price 😉
I don’t give a discount but, on the other hand, the person who recommended you to come and see me will be thanked with a gift voucher if you mention her or him. You will of course benefit from the same attention 🙂
