Retul 3D Bike Fit
Cycling is a repetitive sport. During one hour of cycling you might average up to 5000 pedal revolutions. The smallest amount of mal-alignment, anatomical or equipment related, can lead to impaired performance and/or pain. A proper bike fit, appropriate equipment, correct technique and adequate training patterns can prevent injuries from developing.
(Slipstream Chipotle pro cycling team has chosen Retul as their bike fitting system)
We believe it is important to consider the extrinsic factors = riding being done and intrinsic factors (anatomical factors) such as leg length discrepancy, muscle imbalance, flexibility issues, core strength, posture, etc to achieve the perfect fit. You will be fitted by an experienced bike fitter (and cyclist…) with extensive knowledge in exercise physiology, anatomy, cycling specific injuries, biomechanics and coaching. We pay attention to EVERYTHING that needs to be looked at… and we use the best tools to do so!
We are extremely proud to be the FIRST company in Canada to use the Retul 3D dynamic motion caption bike fitting system. From beginners to Olympic level athletes, we have helped a wide variety of athletes ride injury free and efficiently.
The process include the following:
- A consultation to review your riding and athletic history, goals and objectives, current and past injuries, current training/riding, etc.
- A flexibility and structural assessment
- Shoe fitting
- Dynamic capture of an enormous amount of dynamic data from your pedaling stroke and tracking of all the moving parts of your body simultaneously while you ride your bike under different workloads.
- CompuTrainer SpinScan analysis.
- Adjustments to your position on the bike and cleats, as needed
- Prescription of exercises and technique correction, as needed
- Email support following the fitting during the adaptation period
