Bike fitting

 Bike fitting is the new black there is no doubt about it. Nearly every shop will claim to be able to fit you to your bike properly. But how many actually do this, that’s the $1,000,000 question!

There are a few shops that do in fact have a wealth of knowledge when it comes to setting a bike up and fitting it to its rider, but in nearly all cases this is for a road bikes. There are also countless fit systems on the market a shop can buy to automate the fit up taking away the need for an in depth knowledge of riding, biomechanics or suspension setup and tuning. At My Mountain, we don’t use any “plug in the numbers” fit system or complex computer animation software. We go straight to the end point of what all the computer programs and fit systems are trying to achieve. The correct limb angles and distances between the  contact points on your bike. It’s that simple. 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        
Fitting riders on mountain bikes is where My Mountain sets itself apart.  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 power. 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.
 
A bike fit starts at your feet and finishes at your hands, making many adjustments and measurements along the way. We take into account your flexibility, fitness, riding style and any previous injuries as these are all very important. Once the riding position is dialled in we then completely set your suspension up. It’s a lengthy process that takes between 1 ½ hours to 2 hours depending on the complexity and necessary changes.
