Rider Postioning

Positioning Procedure

This is the most fundamental of all the techniques applied in the Full Bike Fit. Once the spatial position of the saddle is out of place, there is really nothing that will rectify the discomfort that comes when long distance riding is attempted. The riders’ cycling technique will be analysed as this is fundamental determining the position of the saddle.

For a rider without a bike or attempting to purchase a new bike, the AFS bike tool will ensure accuracy and the fit is as close as it will be to being perfect.

Once the measurements have been transferred to the AFS bike tool and analysed, you will be able to view the bike that you will eventually ride. If you wish, you may try out the mock bike. This system will enable me to access your comfort level and provide the fine tuning necessary until a perfect setup is achieved. You will be required to own a pair (at least) of cycling shoes. If you do not have a pair, grab one pair during the consultation period. We cannot achieve accuracy without you using proper cycling shoes.

With the exact geometry and setup, we will then be able to confidently build you a bike that you can proudly say is a excellent fit. We will also be emailing to you your bike geometry based on the measurements provided by the AFS bike tool.

Using this document, you may then decide to request a made-to-measure bike or purchase any bike on the market.

For the riders out there who already own a bike and would like to get to their optimum position for maximum riding efficiency, it is still possible using The Platform. Similar to the AFS Bike-Tool, the Platform will help us measure up to the closest millimeter the position of the saddle and handlebar position when the tweaks are done.

This procedure along will take approximately 60 – 90 minutes and will cost S$300.

You will need to bring with you a pair of cycle shorts and cycle shoes.
