15 years of bike fitting in Tyrol - Bikefitting ★★★★S
15 years ago the current cycling and triathlon boom couldn`t be expected: only insiders knew the bikefitting topic. Nowadays ambitious cyclists can't even hide from it, because almost every magazine, manufacturer and dealer is dedicated to the perfect bike position. In addition the number of bikefitting services and ergonomically hardware has grown. I can look backward to more than a decade of bikefitting improvements.
This "tuning" has interested me from the beginning of my cycling career, but in the end of the 80s cycling wasn`t popular. Only few were riding on their steel roadbikes - cycling wasn`t cosy and hip and mountain biking had to be invented. These hard times in the saddle founded my expertise in bikefitting.
This story continues in my bikefitting studio in Innsbruck - where experience meets finesse.

Bikefitting for professional cyclists
The human system is unbelievably complex: small reasons with big effects. Usually a problem starts on one body-side and if it is only small you even don`t care about it. Symptomatic or not it bothers you when growing big.
Professionals have to focus on small aches, too. Despite training and adaptations, nobody is immune to discomfort. Heroes are sometimes not a good template for a any riding posture which you then would like to copy.
Bikefitting is a dynamic process
Bikefitting is active riding. Motion sequences are analyzed, adapted and finally implemented. This procedere is all about pedaling motion, general posture, specific positions and joint angles. Shoe/ feet, legs (especially knees), pelvic position, spine, neck, head, shoulders, arms and hands are to be analyzed. Your posture will be permanently checked, re-adjusted and improved. Fitting in progress, the final is good to go!
Bikefitting is not Bikesizing
Bikesizing is the static measurement of body proportions to determine the hardware. Of course a bikefitting can help, but the selection of the right frame size is done in your trusted bike shop. We don`t offer sizing for custom frames! With the bike you bring with you the bikefitting will be done: the contact points between rider and bike will be adjusted.
FIT YOUR BIKE - FIT YOUR BODY LATER!
Feeling & efficiency
Many cyclists ride with incorrect saddle and handlebar adjustments. Hardware is put together without exploiting the real potential in every item. This means: if the connecting points cannot provide different positions, i.e. the perfect saddle adjustment is limited. Handlebars are usually set lower to make the bike looking good. In addition to physical limitations discomfort, back-/ knee-/ and neck-pain, numb fingers and toes will be accompanied.
Cleats adjusted perfectly
If cleats are fixed in the pedal body without wobbling a firm connection is the result. If - on the other hand - a torsional movement can cause unwanted freedom of movement instability will arise.
Bar tape in perfection
A soft, tacky touch handlebar tape helps to keep a good grip. Less muscular fatigue through more friction can be realized. More grip - more safety!
Racebar without racing
The shape of the handlebar determines the quality of the contact. Selection between classic, anatomical and ergonomic bars provide a different shape, drop and reach. Maybe a compact racebar will be suggested after a bike fitting.
20 Cent
A straightbar offers only one hand position: the grips. The various lock-on grips differ in thickness, surface finish, shape and rigidity. These differences are decisive for the connection quality. A Lock-On grip will help to prevent slipping.
Cycling shoes should fit
Cycling shoes are offered in different stiffness indexes and different sole widths. A variety of bases for every foot. Ventilation helps to prevent overheating and swelling of the feet. Tight but without wrinkles and yet big enough, that is the recipe for road cycling shoes, triathlon shoes, mountain bike shoes and gravel shoes.
Aero by aerobar
Rest relaxed on arm pads with hands on the extensions of the triathlonbar. Full speed ahead! During a bike fit the position will be optimized, so you can look forward to the run-split.
Handy brake levers
The brake lever is adjusted to the respective finger length during a bikefitting session. Have a brake at any time!
Saddle height
A bicycle saddle is the central element of bike fitting. A wide variety of materials and designs, including 3D printing. Each pelvis can be supported properly while pedalling. Saddle almost horizontal and in the right vertical position.
Shape is just a snapshot - the correct position is forever
