Thank you for taking the opportunity to have Athleticamps fit you on your bike. Bike fitting can help you be more comfortable, safer, and produce more power on the bike. The following will assist you in getting the most out of your fitting appointment. We look forward to meeting and working with you.
Prior to your fit
Please make sure you filled out the online intake forms prior to your appointment. You had access to them through the online scheduling process or from reminder emails sent to you prior to your fitting appointment.
Please try to arrive to your appointment on-time or a few minutes before. The fitting process will take approximately 2 hours.
No lotion or sunscreen on the skin. We apply adhesive markers to your skin during the fitting process. Having clean skin with no lotion or sunscreen helps the markers stick better through the fitting process.
Please remove any additional storage/saddle packs and light holders off the bike prior to the fit.
Please remove watches and woman, please have your hair tied back away from your shoulders
We have a dressing room, so you can arrive in your normal cloths and change into your cycling cloths at your appointment.
Pedaling Dynamics are available as an add-on for $95 and can be discussed at the fit.
Bring the following with you:
Your personal bike, cleaned, in working order, with tires pumped to pressure.
If fitting a triathlon bike, please bring with you any additional spacers and hardware that came with the bike.
Your cycling or triathlon kit. Please do not wear a baggy T-shirt. A sleeveless cycling undershirt is best where your shoulders are exposed. Also, please try to bring cycling shorts that are not baggy and conform firmly to the skin. This helps to prevent the adhesive markers from moving during the data capture process.
Cycling shoes with clean cleats and socks that are tight and conform to your skin.
