Computrainer :: The Best Tools for the Best Fitters

Tuesday, September 14th, 2010

At Bike Science we pride ourselves on providing the the most in depth bike fitting service possible which is why we select Retul 3D Motion capture technology as our measurement system of choice. For an explanation of what makes Retul the best possible bike fitting tool available GO HERE. To add to our arsenal of tools, this week sees us introduce Computrainer to our Bike Science fit studios. As well as being the only trainer that’ll stand up to day to day use  in a professional fit studio, Computrainer’s Spinscan feature gives our fitters an in depth insight into each riders pedal stroke. Combining this with Retul’s unique ability to spot side to side position imbalances means that our fitters are more able than ever to help each rider optimise their position, correct imbalances, reduce injury risk and increase performance.

Testimonials – What our Clients are saying!

Monday, August 16th, 2010

It’s great to hear back from bike fit clients who’ve gone on to have successful results and achieve their aims throughout the season. Here are just a few of the emails we’ve received over the past weeks…

“You did a level 3 fit for me a month or so back & completely changed the setup of both bikes (Cannondale Slice & Cervelo Soloist). I took the measurements off the Cannondale & used them to rebuild my P3C which was what I used at the UK Double Iron last weekend. It worked a treat, no knee or back problems on the bike and fresh enough at the end to run the double marathon in 9:43, the second half was a PB for an Ironman marathon! Final result was third in 28:02:32 :)- Dave H Double Ironman 3rd Position

“The money spent on the bike fit was probably the best I’ve ever spent. Since riding my new bike I’ve used muscles I didn’t know I had and it has had a massive effect on my running as well. Hamstring problems that have plagued me for more than a year and a half and cost me a fortune in physio have almost disappeared overnight.”Rachel, Ironman Triathlete

“Just wanted to say thank you for the bike fitting and the help and advice before my Ironman.  Completed Ironman Lake Placid two weeks ago 30 minutes ahead of my target time.  Bike felt incredibly comfortable, something which I would have never said prior to the bike fitting. Thanks again for your help.  Will definitely recommend Bike Science to anyone buying a new bike.”Ruaraidh, Ironman Triathlete

Wednesday, June 16th, 2010

Bont Triathlon Shoes

It’s been a long wait, but we think it’s bean well worth it. This morning saw our first delivery of the latest ultra light, ultra stiff, totally heat moldable Sub 9 and Sub 10 triathlon cycling shoes from Australian brand Bont. Bont began life as a manufacturer of custom speed skates and roller blades before turning their exclusive technology to cycling shoes. The result? The stiffest, lightest shoes on the market today. Each shoe is 100% hand made using an exclusive resin in the composite base that becomes flexible at relatively low temperatures allowing the entire sole of the shoe as well as the body to be heat formed to PERFECTLY fit the rider’s foot.

Since their introduction Bont shoes have become a pro peleton favourite with an ever growing list of riders moving to Bonts for their out and out performance.  Rider’s who’ve chosen Bont shoes include Bradley Wiggins, Michael Rogers, Daniel Lloyd, Cameron Brown, Spencer Smith, Natasha Badman and many more!

Visit our Bristol Studio for a fitting (we’ll even heat form them for you while you wait) or available to ORDER ONLINE NOW.
