Bike Fitting

Bike Fit for Indoor Trainer Season

Pending winter or not, each year we hear about more people spending more of their ride time on trainers. Is there a specific "trainer riding position" you should be aware of? What type of comfort issues do riders experience on trainers? How can they be resolved?

This post explores how your riding position and technique relate to riding a trainer.

(P.S. - If the time is right for a new trainer, please contact us. We're happy to consult and help you find a great new trainer. We represent great brands and we ship daily for those not in our backyard.

Ready to Use Zwift?

There is arguably no other app/platform that has revolutionized indoor riding more than Zwift. Bringing together courses from around the world and making your local ride community truly international are just a couple of the reasons Zwift is so popular.

If you are ready to try virtual riding, Zwift is a good "first app" to try. It works with "smart" trainers and "dumb" trainers. While trainers are always changing, we outline what is needed to get going on Zwift with most styles of trainer in this post.

Are Custom Bikes Irrelevant Today?

Mass produced stock bikes are made better and fit better than ever before. They are also priced well and provide a better ride experience than the best custom bikes from even a few years ago. With brands like Cervelo, Specialized, Felt, Trek, Jamis, Parlee and others at our disposal, we're happy to help riders find a great mass produced bike that fits and rides great for them.

With all the great mass produced options, why would anyone consider a hand crafted specialty bike from a brands like Moots, Waterford, T-Lab, Parlee, K.Bedford, etc. today? Here is our take on the topic as we head into the end of the second decade of this century.

Yes, We Offer Trade-Ins!
