Bike Fitting
By Graeme Veevers
I take pride in every one of my bike fits, you are all completely individual and about to take an important step in enjoying cycling even more!
I’m here to help everyone continue to enjoy riding their bikes more, as too many people take up cycling but give it up almost immediately because it’s “too painful”. It doesn’t have to be painful, and getting a bike fit should be your first thought if the pain is starting to put you off cycling altogether.

FAQs
I thought I felt fine before I had a bike fit as part of my training. I was so wrong! What I thought was comfortable and efficient was made actually comfortable and efficient. I now have no pain at the end of every ride, other than the fatigue of muscles.
If you’re experiencing ‘pain’ while riding your bike then you are not sitting on your bike correctly. The term “suffering” is commonly misconstrued as being pain when they’re actually two totally different things. To put it simply, if you’re getting pain in your joints while riding your bike, then you need to get a bike fit.
There are a few factors that can determine that outcome. Yes I can make your position on the bike more comfortable after a fit, but if there are additional, more specific parts required to complete the fit which aren’t readily available, then you won’t be completely pain free until those parts are acquired.
If they are all bikes for different disciplines like road, TT, then they will each require a full fit. If they are the same discipline, but different manufacturers, then I offer a 50% discount for the second bike.
Absolutely! I’ve also be trained in aerodynamic preferencing which basically looks at optimising your current position to meet the demands of a particular event. Whether it’s Time Trialling, Road racing or Triathlons, I can help optimise your position aerodynamically whilst keeping you comfortable on your bike.
More often than you think. If you become fitter, or more flexible and have a stronger core, then you might be able to cope with a more aggressive position that’s still comfortable and efficient. Don’t just ‘slam’ your stem, as you might cause more problems than you think.
A month is probably the minimum time before a race that I’d recommend getting a bike fit. Your body needs to adapt and reconfigure to the new ‘normal’.
Yes, a follow up consultation is required following a minimum of 2 weeks in the new position. The reason for a minimum of 2 weeks is to allow the body to adapt and reconfigure itself.
