Custom Bicycle Fitting

As experienced riders know, the right fit between rider and bicycle really can make a difference. Riding a bike that isn’t right for your body can lead to unnecessary pain and discomfort—not from riding hard, but from muscles straining to fit into a poorly fitted bike. A bad fit can also hurt your performance, denying you the efficiency to get maximum speed out of the effort you put in. A custom bicycle fitting performed by certified Fit professionals solves that problem, allowing riders to ride longer and harder without discomfort, giving you more speed for your effort and shaving seconds off time trials.

The Kickstand is proud to offer professional custom bicycle fitting for all types of riders. Two of our staff members are certified in bicycle fitting: James Martin has a FIT certificate from Trek Bicycle, and Lee Newsom is a FIT Specialist certified by Specialized Bicycle Components University. We offer the following custom fitting packages:
