Mountain bike fitting Fitting mountain bikes is something we have become well known for.  Fitting  mountain bikes can become quite involved, as there are many factors at play, far more than a road bike.  The bikes travel, geometry, and intended use are as important as the individual riders characteristics, such as build, fitness, and type of riding planned.  There is no doubt what so ever that a mountain bike that has been fitted and setup correctly will do much more than make you comfortable on your bike.  It will give you more control, make you feel more confident, and ultimately keep you upright more often... Especially when things are getting a bit sketchy out on the trail.   Bike fitting a mountain bike correctly, is a marriage between performance and control. You can think of by picturing a time trial bike and a BMX. The time trial rider is in the ultimate position for power and speed but with limited manoeuvrability where as the BMX has the maximum control and manoeuvrability at the expense of riding efficiency. So a mountain bike setup is a delicate balance between the two. Get it wrong and you might find you are less comfortable climbing or descending or you may even find your just not confident on rough, fast terrain.   Get it right and you will fall in love with your bike as it becomes your partner on the trails working with you 100% of the time. The results will transform your riding experience.
