The price for our bike fits is normally $250, but all BaseCamp athletes get a 20% discount (no coupon needed). Plus if you have two bikes, buy both fits at the same time for an automatic $50 discount on the second one!
What to expect
Once you purchase, we will email you a link to our bike fit intake form that will give us important information on your athletic history, cycling experience, and primary fit concerns, as well as necessary data about your bike to make our sessions as efficient as possible. Once you complete the form, you'll receive a link to schedule your initial bike fit session.
In our first session, we will conduct a movement analysis to determine possible biomechanical limitations and asymmetries, then observe you riding your bike at a variety of intensities. We may make recommendations for a change in position, such as changes in components (stem, handlebar, seatpost, saddle, shoes, pedals, cranks, etc), and we may also give you feedback on your form and technique. This session will likely take up to 60-90 minutes.
We will schedule a 30-minute follow-up session within 2-4 weeks of your initial session to address any changes that were made after your first session and any concerns you may still have with your fit.
Here's how the bike fit process works:
-
Purchase your virtual fit by clicking "Start Now" above.
-
We'll email you a link to fill our our fit intake form; this is also where you will choose your fitter.
-
Once your form is received, we will send you a link to schedule your initial fit session.
-
When it's time for the session, set up your bike on the trainer and camera with the instructions below (any trainer is fine.)
-
Your fit coach will meet with you for about 60-90 minutes.
-
After the session, your fit coach will email you a summary report within 24-48 hours.
-
Your fitter will schedule a follow-up session with you two to four weeks after the first session, once you've had time to ride in your new position and make any component changes.
Feel free to use any road, triathlon, gravel, mountain, or connected bike, such as a Zwift Ride, Kickr, Stages, etc.
How to prepare for the session
When it's time for your appointment, set up your phone or device on a desk, chair, tripod, or other surface at approximately the height of your bike's saddle. The ideal distance between the camera and your bike is 2.5 meters (approximately 9 feet); this distance is measured from the side (profile) of the bike. It's also useful to have a front
or back view, if possible.
Please have the appropriate tools available to adjust your cleats, saddle, seatpost, and stem if necessary. These are typically allen (hex) or torx (star) wrenches but may vary depending on your shoes and/or bike. You will also need a torque wrench available to ensure that you tighten all bolts to the correct specification after we make adjustments.
We recommend taking a few minutes prior to your appointment to make sure you can loosen and tighten all bolts. This will help prevent a disruption in the fit process if something cannot be loosened.
Customer Testimonials
Lorri was awesome. Made me relaxed and comfortable. She really took her time assessing my range of motion and flexibility, checking out cleat placement. I'm happy with my new position which feels very close to my old position, but has it lowered my front end reducing my cDA which is fantastic. - Greg.
Brian was extremely knowledgeable and a delight to work with. My mechanical skills are not so great but he was super patient with me as I tried to move my cleats on my shoes. We made a fairly significant change to my seat position and it feels really good. He also suggested that I get shorter cranks so I talked to my local bike fitter and he completely agrees. I am excited to see if I can increase my power after the seat adjustment and the new cranks. All thanks to Brian! Also I knew we would get along because he is a dog lover too! :) - Shirley C.
An awesome experience. I felt heard and Lorri really cared. She helped identify issues that MyVeloFit was close on, but needed some additional work. I would recommend this service to anyone. Well worth it. - Dennis W.
Brian did a great job providing feedback on my posture and pedal stroke. Currently I am working on reconciling Brian's recs with MyVeloFit. I would definitely recommend Brian to others. - John K.
