Bike Fit
There is no reason for you to be uncomfortable while riding your bike. Regardless of your experience or how seriously you ride. If you experience pain while riding there is usually a simple reason why and it can usually be fixed easily. We have four “Body Geometry” trained fitters and one “Body Geometry Master” fitter here at Ski Hut. You will be shocked how much it helps!
Who Can Benefit from a Bike Fit?
Everyone. Humans come in all shapes and sizes. No two people have the same body. Look at it this way: the bike is adjustable, the body is adaptable. If we don’t adjust the bicycle, we force the body to adapt. Lack of control, discomfort, or pain, can all be caused by the human body adapting to a poorly adjusted bicycle.
Choice
With so many Brands, styles, geometries and, sizes to choose from, selecting a new bike can be a bit challenging. Going through the sizing process first helps to narrow down the best style and models that work best for you based on what fit geometry and size.
Comfort
Once you have chosen a bike we set it up for you and have you test it out in a stationary trainer, so that we can get feedback on how it feels and make any necessary adjustments to make sure your new bike is comfortable and set up properly for you.
Proportions
People come in all sizes and shapes and so should their bikes. We take careful measurements of you to help determine the correct size, style, and geometry bicycle that works best for your body.

How does the 3d custom fit work?
This fit is by appointment only. Tjaard (pronounced “Chart”) will contact you to discuss your wishes and needs before the fit.Most fits take between 2 and 4 hours for the initial visit. The fit starts with a thorough interview and history, to make sure Tjaard is aware of your needs and any relevant physical issues. Then a Physical Assessment. Looking at your body off the bike, allows Tjaard to properly ‘diagnose’ ‘symptoms’ of poor bike fit on the bike. After this you will ride your bike on a trainer. We have front and side view cameras recording your position and movements. This allows Tjaard to pause and examine your posture and biomechanics. It also allows you to see how your body is positioned on the bike. Just like video analysis in sports coaching, most people find it very useful to be able to see what is happening with their body on the bike. Once we have identified any problems that your bike set-up might be creating for your body, Tjaard will propose, and explain, solutions. You will then try each solution out, to confirm the fit is correct. Once your bike is adjusted to the new fit, you will ride it for about two weeks. After some riding time with the new fit, you will return for the (included) follow up. If necessary changes will be made, and once the fit has been finalized, you will receive a fit report with the relevant measurements, so you can set up your bike again if you need to take it apart or replace parts.
