Fit Kit
Proper bike fit
is essential for comfortable, efficient riding. The Fit Kit is a
collection of precision tools and data that allow us to efficiently,
discreetly and precisely measure you to determine your exact frame size
(seat-tube length and angle, and top-tube length) and the proper
adjustments for the points where you contact your bicycle. |

Ride more
comfortably, with less effort and just plain faster!
If this sounds complicated, it is! However, this process will make a world
of difference in your enjoyment of cycling. Fit is the key to riding
efficiently on any new frame or bicycle and is HUGELY important, whether
you ride for recreation, fitness or fun, or on the road or dirt.
If you're uncomfortable on your bike, suffering from numb hands, a sore
rear end, a stiff neck, aching wrists or back, it's very likely that a
poor bicycle fit is contributing to the problems if not causing them.
cycles de ORO's trained technicians can help.
We also recommend getting fitted if you're shopping for a new bicycle and
aren't sure what size is right or if you're buying a frame to build into
your dream bike. Once we've measured you, you'll know the proper size,
which will make it a lot easier to pick out the right bike or frame.
Equally important, it will allow ruling out those models that don't fall
within your fit requirements, which is a great help if you're comparing
many different brands. |

Fitting Sessions
We offer in-store Fit Kit fitting services to accommodate your needs.
Contact us first for an appointment and plan on spending from 30 minutes
to an hour in your session (depending on the service you choose). Our
trained Fit Kit technicians will take your measurements and discuss your
cycling goals, problems and issues.
If you're here to get measured for a new bicycle, don't forget to bring
along your cycling clothes (shoes, too). You can change in our dressing
room. By wearing cycling clothes, the measurements will be accurate (seams
in street clothing can interfere with precise measurements).
If you're interested in being fit to your current bicycle, please bring
your bike and your cycling clothes as above. We'll measure your bicycle
and its components and you on it, observing your position and current
setup.
Then we will fine-tune your bike for a perfect fit. We'll also make
recommendations if you require different components, such as a shorter or
taller stem, and install these if you wish (components are sold
separately). We're sure you'll be delighted at how much more comfortable
you are on your bike.
