BIKE FITTING SERVICES

We fit everyone and every bike!

IMPROVE YOUR COMFORT AND PERFORMANCE

You deserve to love your ride! 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. 

You might think that you don't need a fitting unless you are a professional but almost every cyclist can benefit including:

Commuters

New riders

Adventure cyclists/Bike tourists

Endurance riders

Charity riders

Triathletes

Those with a previous injury (this is especially true!)

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. The proper fit can help you recover from injuries and even prevent new ones. 

We’ve partnered with companies like Retül to give you access to the most accurate and precise measurement tools available. However, we don't just let the equipment do the work! Instead, we rely on the 30+ years of experience of our fitters to help our clients find a new bike or improve their position on their current bike.

Fit package pricing does not include cost of replacement parts, if necessary.

Tandem Fitting

$250

*This fitting appointment requires a complete bicycle

If you have a bicycle built for two, this is the fitting for you. Our expert fitter Ed Sassler will make sure your tandem fits perfectly.

Tandem Sales Appointment

Free

*This is a sales appointment and does not require a bicycle

If you’re looking for a tandem in New England, you want to come in and meet Ed at our Belmont location. He’s been riding tandems for more than 20 years, has ridden double centuries, climbed Cadillac Mountain before sunrise, and raced tandems. He’ll help you choose the right model, understand positioning, go for a test ride, and dial in your bike fit.

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.

Ride in Comfort

One of the most important contact points between you and the bicycle is your saddle. If you aren't comfortable you definitely are not going to want to ride. Gel saddle covers are a hindrance not a help. A fitting will ensure you have the correct saddle for your anatomy and positioning on the bike. The padding on your cycling shorts does wear out, replacing them can lead to a more comfortable ride as well.

Put Your Fitting in Our Hands

A common cyclist ailment is numbness or tingling in the hands while riding. Alleviate that discomfort with the right size and shape handlebars for you. Handlebars can be too wide, narrow or have the wrong reach. The right bar tape can make a world of difference as well.

MEET THE WHEELWORKS FITTERS


Ed

Ed started the fitting department in 1986 alongside former owner and three-time Olympian John Allis. While Ed has been certified over the years by a number of fitting schools and systems, naming those wouldn’t do his knowledge justice. He is the go-to fitter for anything road, hybrid and tandem-related, and while he can fit any rider, his specialty is helping riders with pre-existing injuries or anatomical oddities to enjoy riding again. If you are someone who has had a knee replacement, fused vertebrae, leg length discrepancy, nerve damage, you name it, Ed is your guy. He describes his favorite bike as the one closest to the door with air in the tires, and his most familiar place to ride is the state of being lost. 

Specialty: Tandem


Jack

Jack is our triathlon expert and dedicated Retül fitter. He’s certified in Serotta, Specialized Body Geometry, SlowTwitch F.I.S.T, and Retül fitting protocols. All together, that puts the most technologically advanced bike fitting and product matching technology in the industry right at his fingertips. His goal is to use data to increase your comfort, prevent injuries, and improve your performance. Jack is an experienced triathlete and the staff member most likely to have gone swimming that morning. His favorite bike is his Serotta Coeur d’Acier, and his favorite event is the Lake Placid Ironman. 

Specialty: Triathlon


Michael 

Michael is a lifelong cyclist. He has completed certifications in the Serotta and Specialized fit schools. When it comes to bicycles, Michael does it all. Not only is he a lifelong commuter, he also rides road and off-road bikes regularly. As a fitter and salesperson, Michael will fit any bike we sell and can be your go-to salesperson for anything you want to find at Wheelworks.
