Bike fitting
Professional bike fitting is one of the best investments you can make when thinking of having a new bike. Redchilli offer a range of services all designed to help you make your cycling more enjoyable and ultimately, more comfortable.
Custom bike fitting
it is absolutely imperative that your bike fits you.
With bike frames now coming in many different geometry types based upon the discipline of riding for which they are intended, it is absolutely imperative that the bike fits you. If you experience any discomfort during a ride such as numb hands or toes, lower back pain, shoulder/neck ache, knee pain or any other aches and pains during or after riding your bike, then it is likely due to incorrect frame size and/or improper bike fitting. When you order a bike from Redchilli, it is our mission to ensure that bike and rider fit one another like the proverbial glove.
Along with our own experience, we have teamed up with BikeFitting.com to offer what we believe to be one of the most detailed yet comprehensive fitting systems available. Our system is suitable for Road Bikes, Time Trial, Triathlon, Cyclocross, Gravel, Track and Mountain Bikes.
How Long Does a Bike Fit Take and What Should I Wear?
The full bike fitting measurement service normally takes around 90 minutes and so it is important to book your appointment in advance. This includes a general chat (along with a coffee and a few biscuits) about your cycling; what discipline of cycling do you enjoy, what are your aspirations, do you want speed or comfort, do you have any issues with historic injuries etc. Ideally, we ask that you wear the type of clothing and shoes that you would normally wear when riding. All our bike fit appointments take place at our location in Axminster, Devon.
The bike fitting system that we use works via a database of specific frameset geometry information and all Redchilli frames are covered within this database so you can be assured of a detailed result. The ‘Static Measuring Jig’ is the foundation of our bike fitting system and is used to precisely determine 8 key body dimensions:
ensuring detailed & accurate results
We also consider:
Once our initial discussion and the measuring process is complete, the BikeFitting Analysis System will generate a detailed report displaying the ideal frame size along with the recommended handlebar width, stem length, stem height, saddle height, saddle position and crank length.
