SCOTLANDS PREMIERE BIKE FITTING SERVICE
Welcome and thanks for stopping by. Throughout this website you will find lots of information about what I do here and what you can expect should you visit me for a bike fitting here in Glasgow.
I have been a professional bike fitter now for over 10 years. Prior to that I spent more than a decade studying the subject. I am a Steve Hogg Approved level 4 IBFI bike fitter and a level 3 Mastermind Applied Movement Neurology practictioner. On the back of working closely with some of the industries leading thinkers and pioneers, I have been successful in developing a skillset which allows me to deliver the most cutting edge, scientific bike fitting methods employed in the world today.
I've always had a passion for cycling and have ridden bikes, in one form or another for all of my life. Bike position, or 'bikefit' has always been at the forefront of my mind too and from as early as i can remember I have seen bike position as an almost poetic, artistic coming together of man and machine. I have made it a personal mission of mine to find that ‘coming together’ for everyone I fit here.
There are many different approaches to bike fitting but by far the most common is whereby a shop or person purchases some bike fitting technology, attends a short course on it’s use, then moves onto using systemised or formulaic methods in order to deliver their fits.
The reason this is the most commonly found approach is because it allows people to remove themselves from the responsibility of the fitting process. This in turn places the onus of their results on the fitting medium being employed. It also means anyone can do it. There is no requirement for any pre existing knowledge, understanding or even experience.
I say knowledge, understanding & experience, because without that, you are pretty much a slave to technology, relying on certain manufacturers ideas or more commonly, manufacturers assumptions about what constitutes a proper bike fit to arrive at your final results.
The issue with that, is the assumption that firstly those assumptions are correct and secondly, that we can fit individuals within a certain set of parameters and always get the same results. The problems begin to arise when the results are not satisfactory and the fitter doesn’t know why or how to fix them.
I was asked once, “how do you get into bike fitting” I’ve been asked this many times now. My response is usually along the lines of.. “you don’t choose bike fitting, it chooses you”. I say this as the best fitters out there have a dedication and curiosity in the subject that doesn’t come from simply working in a shop or choosing fitting as the next best thing to do in a long line of cycling related careers or business ventures. They make the subject their life and expand that curiosity to better understand the relationship of human to bike.
This process doesn’t end. To be successful you have to be 100% committed to delivering the absolute best results for your clients and that is why I offer a 100% money back guarantee on my fits.
