Dynamic Bike Fit with the CompuTrainer’s SpinScan technology Takes the Guesswork out of cycle fit and positioning

We specialise in dynamic bike fitting using the Computrainer Spinscan, looking at efficiency and power for improved ride comfort and / or performance. We assess your current biomechanical status with real time feedback on your pedalling efficiency, and power split . Using this information we will calculate and measure your optimal cycling position, and adjust your position to enhance your overall comfort and power. You will generally see efficiency gains of 10-25%, speed gains of 1-2 mph, and power gains of 10% plus after about 6-8 weeks when youfollow our advice. Testimonials here

 

  • See up to 20% efficiency gains over 2-3 months
  • Laser technology for knee alignment
  • Optimise your position for more comfort
  • Increase your speed by 1-2 kph over 6 months
  • Video Motion Analysis
  • Cycling efficiency drills

  

At Sound Coaching we use our combined knowledge of anatomy and physiology from our knowledge of anatomy and physiology and apply this to your bike fitting and positioning.

  • Do you want to be faster with no more effort?
  • Or become more comfortable?
  • Or generate more power / speed?

By developing a smoother pedal stroke and learning how to balance the pedals this is very achieveable during a bike fit session! We often see improvements in efficiency of up to 20% during a bike fitting session. Once this becomes more ingrained in your pedal stroke and your muscle recruitment improves then further improvements are possible.

You can see the difference in efficiency in the chart on the left which shows 52% efficiency, to the one on the right showing 75% efficiency. The cyclist on the right is more even, spreading the load and will hence be moving faster with less effort than the cyclist on the left.

If you experience any of the following symptoms whilst cycling then we can help correct this by optimising your bike position?

  • Knee pain?
  • Lower back pain and hip pain?
  • Leg length discrepancy?
  • Lateral knee pain?
  • Do your feet pronate or supinate in your shoes?
  • Feet hot spots?
  • Flat feet?
  • A feeling of a Lack of power in both legs or just one?
  • Excessive movement of one or both legs while pedalling?
  • One foot that never feels quite right in the shoe/pedal?
  • One good leg, one not so good?

     

We will assess your current biomechanical status with real time Video Motion Analysis giving feedback on your pedalling efficiency, and power split. Using this information we will calculate and measure your optimal cycling position, and adjust your position to enhance your overall comfort and power. After checking your posture and flexibility you will receive specific exercises and stretches to improve your position and to enable your body to work much better.

Every cyclist has unique biomechanics, therefore there are no generalisations that apply when fitting a rider to a bike. Purchasing a new bike can be both a fun and exciting experience, but riding a bike that is not properly fit can cause frustration, pain or injury.

Perhaps you already own a bike and your position is not optimised, causing you to underperform. A proper bike fit will not only provide you with the most economic means of expending energy, but it can prevent pain that is common in the knee, hip, and lower back, particularly with riders who are trying to adapt their bodies to a bike they have already purchased.

We would rather adapt a bike to the body you already have. There is a big difference between being sized for a bike and being fit for a bike. When it comes to the biomechanics of fitting a rider to his or her bike, little adjustments can be very significant. Whether a rider is on a £600 bike or £6,000 performance race machine, a proper bike fit is essential
