Level 1 - Current Bike Fit  

This option is geared towards a rider looking to gain more comfort and performance on their current bike.

If clipless pedals are on the bike then cleat position is “dialed in” to maximize power and efficiency as energy is applied to the pedals.  If regular pedals are on the bike then proper foot orientation is explained to the cyclist.  Exact knee and hip positions are determined based on the rider’s level of flexibility and aggressiveness when cycling.  Seat height and saddle position are modified from the data provided during the fitting.  Recommendations are given as to any upgrades that will benefit each rider. 

This level of fitting takes one hour to complete at a cost of $125.00

Level 2 – Existing Bike Fit – Comprehensive

This level of fit is also for someone with an existing bike who wants a more thorough and overall adjustment to the bike and body position.  Along with doing all the steps taken in Level 1, attention is also given to the client’s back, shoulders, arms and hands. 

A full interview is done to ensure we know what problems exist, past injuries, and also what goals the client has for future riding.  Flexibility and skeletal measurements are taken.  The next step is to ride a bike with the correct geometry to find out what manipulations need to be made to the bike frame to get the perfect fit between rider and bicycle.  Use of the Computrainer Spin Scan technology is incorporated in this fitting, along with video analysis of your pedal stroke and position.

This process takes three hours to complete at a cost of $275 and comes with a full report on what information was determined during the fitting.  The information gathered in this session is useful months or even years after the fitting when looking for a new bike or other components that should be purchased to achieve a well fitting bicycle.

A credit of $150 can be used at any time in the future towards the purchase of any new bike from RDG Cycles.

Level 3 – New Bike Fit

For people looking for a new bicycle – stock or custom.  This level of fit is the first step towards preparing an order for a stock or custom-built GURU or Everti.  Also included are recommendations for 3 stock bikes from any manufacturer of the client’s choice. 

The level 3 fit takes 1 hour to complete at a cost of $100.  If the new bicycle is purchased from RDG Cycles then $75 will be credited towards the bicycle purchase.

Level 4 - Aerodynamic Fit

For the athlete that is doing triathlons or time trials this is a great way of shaving time off your races.  The aerodynamics of the rider on the bicycle make up for half of the energy consumption, note that all of the bike equipment combined only make up for 15 percent of the energy consumed (bicycle weight, rolling resistance and frame stiffness make up most of the balance of energy consumed). 

If you compare your surface area to that of your bike it is easy to see how your body has a much greater impact on aerodynamics.  Most people look at this backwards, focusing on aerodynamic equipment as their top priority, spending lots of money for small gains.

An ideal aero position does not simply mean having the most aggressive riding position possible.  It means you must have as aerodynamic position as possible without sacrificing comfort or power.  When you trade power or comfort for aerodynamics you will have a hard time keeping a fast pace even on short courses, the net result will be slower times.

Our level four aerodynamic fit uses all the processes followed in a level 2 fit with the added focus of finding your ideal aerodynamic position in your time trail bars.  We start with a full interview to review your history and goals for the future.  Skeletal and flexibility measurements are taken along with measurements of your existing TT or triathlon bike. Then we move to our multi-adjustable size cycle to start working on all aspects of the fit from the cleat position, knee, hip, back, shoulders, elbows and hands.  Spin scan technology via the Computrainer with a computer analysis as well as a video profile of your pedal stroke and aero position are fully explored. 

This can be done to work on your existing TT or triathlon bike or towards a new bike. The cost is $275 and includes a full report on what information was determined during the fitting.  A credit of $150 can be used at any time in the future towards the purchase of any new TT or triathlon bike from RDG Cycles.
