> Professional Bike Fitting at Mosquito

Roger is our Bike Fitting Professional having successfully completed the Size Cycle bike fit course, the only school in the industry to teach the use of Size Cycle fitting tools and how to evaluate a cyclist's biomechanical position, movement, efficiency and comfort. Mosquito have invested in a Size Cycle to ensure that every customer rides away on a bike that fits them (and their riding style) perfectly. Roger has gained a great deal of experience (and scores of happy clients) over the past years. Roger believes that a Professional Bike Fitting is important for all bike riders and not just so called 'serious cyclists', as some of our competitors seem to believe! So whether you are after a custom frame, getting the right size of new hybrid or simply want to check your current bike set up, you can be sure of a friendly and professional service from Roger and all at Mosquito.

A Bike Fitting Session
First Roger gets to know you in the interview. Why do you ride? How do you ride? What is your injury history? Any personal asymmetries, such as one leg longer than the other? Any problems with your old bike? Lastly, what are your goals and aspirations as a rider?

Next, your flexibility and core strength are assessed to nail down your range of motion, and your ability to comfortably hold a position. The aim is to build a bike that moves with you, within the range of your strengths and limitations, not against you.

When you get on the Size Cycle, our infinitely adjustable sizing tool, Roger can observe your good and bad postural habits, see your pedal stroke in action, judge how relaxed you are in the saddle and how easily you're able to draw in large volumes of air. Step by step, Roger works with you to piece together a complete picture of you as a cyclist.

Roger studies your positional co-ordinates as you spin the pedals, looking for the place where your movement fires most effectively – where power, endurance, comfort, and to varying extents aerodynamics, are optimised. Following the kinetic chain, Roger can then accurately determine the co-ordinates your fit will be based upon.

Other systems rely on static measurements of dubious precision. The only useful ones derive from a matrix of information that is you – how your body moves, breathes, flexes, and works around injury. Even if measurements could predict true "fit", anatomic accuracy could only be achieved with X-ray or MRI machines, tools not commonly found in bike shops.

There's no detour to achieving your ideal fit. Prepare to give up an hour or more in the fit process alone. Considering it's a mini-Master's degree in becoming a more enlightened rider, you'll have to agree it's time well spent.

The moment of truth is when you climb on your new bike and click in. In an instant you'll know this is miles beyond your old expectations of fit. Your bike is nothing less than an extension of your body.
