We
here at Continental believe that your bike fitting you is as
important as deciding what kind of bike to buy. So, after hearing
and seeing the many different approaches on how to fit a cyclist to a
bike, we have focused on what we believe is the best fitting system
in the industry, “The Serotta Personal Fit System”. We have two
Serotta advanced certified fit technicians on staff here and they are
ready and willing to discuss you fitting needs.
The
Personal Fit begins with no preconceptions, no template, no bike at
all -- just your body in motion, in space. Most fit systems compare
you to a data base of cyclists. We've always believed that you are
the only cyclist that matters. Your Fit is based on you as a unique
cyclist, your style of riding, the individual way you move as you
ride and how your bike should move with you.
A
Personal Fit is just that --personal. We don't just ask you to fill
out a questionnaire or take standard measurements. We plan to invest
an hour or more of our time learning all we can about you as a
cyclist before we even think about making any recommendations or
adjustments.
We
start your fit by getting to know you as a cyclist Your
Personal Fit starts with an interview. Why do you ride? How do you
ride? Any injuries or asymmetries? Any problems with your current
bike? What are your goals and aspirations as a rider?
Your
range of motion is a critical factor Next,
your flexibility and core strength are assessed to determine your
range of motion and ability to comfortably hold a position. Our goal
is to design a bike that moves with you, within the range of your
unique strengths and limitations, rather than against you.
We
find the position where your pedal stroke is most effective and your
body relaxed On
the Serotta Size Cycle, your Fit Specialist observes your good and
bad postural habits, watches your pedal stroke in action, judges how
relaxed you are in the saddle and how easily you're able to draw in
large volumes of air. Step by step, your Fitter works with you to
piece together a complete picture of you as a cyclist. We study your
positional coordinates as you spin the pedals, making adjustments to
find the place where your movement fires most effectively -- where
power, endurance, comfort and aerodynamics are optimized.
While
all of this may seem somewhat extreme, you wouldn't wear a pair of
shoes that didn't fit, Why would you ride a bike that doesn't fit?
