Comprehensive Fit
If you’re regularly spending longer than 1.5 hours in the saddle, whether in road, gravel, time trial, triathlon or mountain bike, our in-depth professional Comprehensive Bike Fit is for you.
We will ensure you’re in the optimum position on your bike for gains in speed, efficiency and comfort, and help to prevent or resolve injuries. It’s for riders across all cycling disciplines, and we’ll tailor your fit to your personal goals, whether that’s optimised towards comfortable long distance rides, or aerodynamically optimised for racing.
If you’re cycling less than 1.5 hours at a time and mainly for leisure or commuting, a Starter Bike Fit may be more suited to your needs. Please Get in touch if you’re not sure which bike fit would be best, or book a free Video Consultation.
What’s included?
This bike fit is broken into three stages:
Comprehensive Bike Fit
30 minute follow up video call
Follow up fit (included as standard)
What happens during the bike fit?
On bike assessment
We’ll start by assessing your current position with your bike on a turbo trainer, understanding what you want to gain from your fit, your problem areas, and any current/previous injuries.
Biomechanical assessment
We then complete an off-bike biomechanical assessment. This is to understand your strengths, weaknesses and any functional limitations we are working to. The assessment covers:
Posture
Stability
Range of motion/flexibility
Body asymmetries (eg leg length discrepancy)
Contact points (foot and pelvic structure) on the bike
Fitting jig adjustments
Your current bike’s position will be transferred to the fitting jig, and each contact point will be optimised for your body and riding style.
Position changes of your contact points include:
Cleat positioning and foot support
Saddle selection and positioning
Pedal stroke and crank length assessment
Handlebar width selection and positioning
Back to the bike
Your new position will then be recreated on your existing bike:
Components may be changed to match your bike to your fit, such as handlebars, saddle, stem.
Additional tuning will be specific to your current bike geometry
Your position on your bike will be reassessed
Finally, your brake lever positioning and brake reach will be fine-tuned
What happens after the fit?
Immediately after your bike fit, you’ll receive your bike fit data along with further recommendations via email.
30 minute video follow up
Once you've had an opportunity to ride your new bike position, it would be great to catch up with you on how everything is settling in and make sure expectations have been met. This would also be the best process to ask any follow up questions (rather than email) to be able to answer them in detail. I generally recommend a riding period of three weeks to allow everything to settle in and condition to any changes made during the bike fit. However, if you feel there are more urgent issues to address, please book earlier. A Google Meets joining link will be included in the booking confirmation.
In-person Follow up fit included as standard
It may be that we need to come back to something, and this can be totally normal, whether issues are still being experienced, or we may need to arrange to fit any additional components to your bike, which will be discussed either during the initial bike fit consultation, or on our video call. It may also be that you'd like to drop by just to have me cast my eye over the position once more and make sure that the set up is still as expected.
Total price: £450

Comprehensive bike fit (in person): 4 hours

“I recently got a bike fit with tim from Soigneur. The whole process was a dream. Not only was the fit itself great, but he takes care of the whole process of ordering and fitting new parts for you. This includes some of the sick (and very rapid) new Avec Aer bars that Tim himself has designed and manufactured. Cant rate this more highly.”
“Super happy with Tim’s repair job! He managed to fix some problems with my bike that another shop had overlooked. He is thorough and took the time to explain everything to me very clearly. A true expert in the field! I’ve previously had a bike fit with him as well which was another great experience and making the right adjustments really helped with longer distance rides. Thanks so much!!”
